Hormuz Crisis: Asian Allies Bypass Trump to Negotiate with Iran

The US-Iran confrontation during President Trump's tenure has sparked a global energy crisis, threatening the Strait of Hormuz, which handles 20% of the world's oil shipments. In response, Asian allies such as Japan, the Philippines, and South Korea have initiated direct negotiations with Iran to guarantee safe passage for their vessels. Trump has advocated for other countries to assume responsibility for protecting the strait, minimizing US dependence. India and Pakistan have also established similar agreements with Iran. This scenario underscores the strategic vulnerability of the Hormuz Strait and the self-help measures adopted by energy-importing nations to safeguard their supply chains.

Novo Nordisk's Wegovy Pill Launch Sparks Surge in New GLP-1 Patients

Novo Nordisk's oral Wegovy launched in the U.S. in January 2026, quickly generating over 600,000 prescriptions and attracting a new wave of patients deterred by needle phobia or injection costs.

Analysts project strong sales growth for Wegovy, with the pill potentially contributing $2.76 billion by 2031. However, long-term efficacy, patient adherence, and market sustainability remain uncertain as the treatment landscape evolves.

Trump Immigration Policies Threaten Immigrant Doctors' Jobs in US

The Trump administration's immigration policies, targeting 39 'high-risk' countries, have placed thousands of immigrant doctors in legal limbo, delaying their visa and work permit processes. These doctors, who make up 18% of the US physician workforce and often serve in rural and underserved areas, face job loss and career disruption. The American Medical Association has called for exemptions, citing critical healthcare needs, but USCIS's response has been vague, leading to lawsuits. Residency programs are also impacted, with lower match rates for foreign-born graduates and risks to hospital funding. Doctors like Dr. Faysal Al Ghoula and Dr. Ezequiel Veliz exemplify the personal and professional toll, with some already losing jobs and others fearing deportation. The situation threatens to exacerbate physician shortages, particularly in communities that rely heavily on immigrant healthcare providers.
