The President Donald Trump administration&#8217;s request for Novavax Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVAX#NASDAQ">NVAX</a>) to conduct new clinical trials for its COVID-19 vaccine.
What Happened: Novavax announced Monday that the Food and Drug Administration requested a new clinical trial before granting full approval for its protein-based COVID-19 shot, despite the company believing its vaccine remains &#8220;approvable.&#8221; 
The requirement came shortly after FDA Commissioner Marty Makary characterized the annually updated vaccine as &#8220;a new product&#8221; requiring new studies.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">To be clear, this is a new product that Novavax is trying to introduce to the market with a study of a different product from 2021.

&mdash; Dr. Martin Makary (@DrMakaryFDA) <a href="https://twitter.com/DrMakaryFDA/status/1916253910039429309?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 26, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
The situation developed following leadership changes at the FDA, including the departure of the agency&#8217;s longtime Vaccine Chief over disagreements with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. 
Industry experts note the FDA had been on track to approve Novavax&#8217;s application by April 1, but Trump appointees directed a pause, the Associated Press <a href="https://apnews.com/article/vaccine-novavax-fda-trump-covid-study-4b4465ad77cfb0554b27b7d59c40ae32">reported</a>, citing anonymous sources.

Why It Matters: A United States Department of Health and Human Services spokesman suggested all COVID-19 vaccines could face stricter requirements, stating: &#8220;The urgency to rush approval of boosters without normal oversight no longer exists.&#8221;
Preliminary results from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/04/44824383/novavax-covid-vaccine-shows-milder-side-effects-than-pfizer-biontechs-shot-study">the SHIELD-Utah study</a> showed Novavax&#8217;s 2024-2025 formula targeting the JN.1 strain produced fewer and less severe side effects compared to Pfizer Inc.

Former Health Secretary Xavier Becerra defended the safety record of COVID-19 vaccines, noting: &#8220;We had put some 700 million COVID vaccines into the arms of Americans. That&#8217;s a pretty good size clinical trial.&#8221;

Trump-Era FDA Appointees Request New Trials For Novavax COVID Vaccine, Reportedly Delaying Approval Timeline

The Chinese commerce ministry stated that U.S.-imposed tariffs have adversely affected Chinese airlines and Boeing (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>). The ministry has called on Washington to consider the grievances of these companies and promote a stable trade environment.
What Happened: This marks Beijing&#8217;s first remark on the tariffs&#8217; impact on the aviation sector since Boeing returned three 737 MAX planes, initially stationed in China for delivery to Chinese customers, back to the U.S,, Reuters reported on Tuesday.
Last week, Boeing disclosed that due to the tariffs, multiple Chinese customers have refused to accept delivery of new planes, leaving the company to find new buyers for potentially dozens of aircraft. Beijing has also signaled concern over the consequences of the trade war.
The ministry underscored China&#8217;s readiness to back normal business collaboration between the two countries and urged&nbsp;Washington to create a predictable&nbsp;trade and investment environment. &#8220;China&#8217;s&nbsp;affected airlines and Boeing have&nbsp;suffered greatly,&#8221; the ministry noted, emphasizing that the U.S. tariffs have&nbsp;disrupted global supply chains, air&nbsp;transport, and investment activities.
SEE ALSO:&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.com/25/04/45038824/treasury-secretary-scott-bessent-says-its-up-to-china-to-de-escalate-trade-tensions-india-to-be-the-first-trade-d" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Says It&#8217;s Up To China To &#8216;De-Escalate&#8217; Trade Tensions, India To Be The &#8216;First Trade Deal&#8217; To Be Signed</a>
Why It Matters: Beijing recently instructed Chinese airlines to halt new Boeing orders and get approval for pending deliveries, making the company the latest U.S. firm affected by the U.S.-China trade war. 
The U.S. tariffs have led to a significant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/45032435/trump-tariffs-prompt-suspension-of-chinese-factory-operations-and-shift-to-new-markets">disruption </a>in the global supply chain. This development has had a ripple effect across global supply chains and threatened millions of jobs. Chinese manufacturers have had to suspend operations and seek alternative markets due to the impact of these tariffs. The country is also at risk of losing nearly 16 million manufacturing jobs amid the escalating trade tensions, as per Goldman Sachs.
Nevertheless, in a bid to ease trade tensions, China has begun <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/45004954/china-reportedly-begins-exempting-key-us-imports-from-tariffs-including-pharma-and-aerospace-parts">exempting </a>some U.S. imports from high tariffs. Companies in China have been asked by officials to identify essential U.S. goods that are difficult to replace. Some pharmaceutical imports and aerospace&nbsp;parts, including engines and landing&nbsp;gear, have already been exempted from the 125% tariffs. French aircraft engine maker, Safran confirmed that China granted tariff exemptions on certain aerospace equipment parts, including engines and landing gear.

Billionaire Joe Gebbia, co-founder of Airbnb Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABNB#NASDAQ">ABNB</a>), has purchased over 4000 Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) stocks.
What Happened: Gebbia, who is a member of the company's board of directors, purchased 4000 shares at $256.308, as revealed by an SEC filing on Monday.
Gebbia has been on Tesla's board as an independent director since 2022. He also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44265658/billionaire-airbnb-founder-works-with-elon-musk-at-doge">joined Elon Musk's DOGE</a>, or Department of Government Efficiency, to work on the government's paper-based retirement process.
Why It Matters: The news comes in as Tesla is gearing up for its robotaxi launch in June, which Musk shared at the Q1 earnings call, could feature<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44943387/elon-musk-shares-fsd-update-at-tesla-earnings-call-10-to-20-model-ys-will-offer-paid-robotaxi-rides-in-june"> 10 to 20 Model Ys</a> deployed on the first day of operations.
The billionaire also reiterated at the earnings call that he would scale back on his DOGE duties to focus on Tesla, which led to analysts like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44945402/wedbushs-dan-ives-raises-teslas-price-target-to-350-as-musk-promises-to-significantly-reduce-doge-time">Dan Ives setting high price targets</a> on Tesla Stock, as well as the stock itself surging in value.
However, Tesla has been grappling with its fair share of problems, including <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44857987/tesla-experiences-151-decline-in-new-vehicle-registrations-in-california-report">declining sales figures </a>in the U.S. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44975755/tesla-sales-decline-28-in-europe-as-ev-car-market-experiences-growth-report">as well as Europe</a>, and a 71% YoY profit plunge for Q1 2025, which showcases what was a difficult quarter for the EV giant. Tesla owners in the U.S. are also battling declining used car values as well as rising insurance premiums amid bouts of vandalism.

Airbnb Billionaire Joe Gebbia Buys Over $1 Million Worth Of TSLA Stock Ahead Of Elon Musk's Robotaxi Launch In June

Jimmy Donaldson, popularly known as MrBeast, has waded into a bizarre online debate over the weekend involving a hypothetical fight between 100 men and one gorilla.
What Happened: On Monday, the 26-year-old YouTube megastar took to Elon Musk's X, formerly Twitter, and posted a photoshopped image of himself with gorillas, joking, "Need 100 men to test this, any volunteers?"
The animal rights group PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) quickly rebuked him, responding: "100 men vs. a gorilla? Maybe try 100 reasons to leave animals out of your content instead…"

He has stated in interviews that his total revenue across all ventures falls between $600 million and $700 million annually, with the majority funneled back into producing content, scaling operations, and expanding his team.

In a bid to navigate the impending U.S. tariffs, South Africa and several other countries have been reportedly seeking advice from Goldman Sachs since late February.
What Happened: South African officials have been consulting with Goldman Sachs to devise strategies to mitigate the impact of the looming tariffs and appease President Donald Trump. The country was reportedly advised by Goldman that everything comes down to Trump's feelings. 
The bank recommended that South Africa consider revising certain laws, including one requiring Black ownership in some companies and another permitting the government to seize land from landowners to address racial disparities, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/goldman-sachs-offers-advice-on-tariffs-to-countries-scrambling-to-please-trump-a138835f">reported </a>The Wall Street Journal.
Goldman Sachs did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment. 
Despite the advice from Goldman Sachs, a spokesperson for President Cyril Ramaphosa stated that the recommendations &#8220;would&nbsp;not have found favor with&nbsp;the government,&#8221; which is committed to addressing the imbalances of apartheid.
Goldman Sachs&#8217; advice is not limited to South Africa, as it has also been advising other nations, including France, Saudi Arabia, and Japan,&nbsp;on negotiating with the Trump&nbsp;administration. The Japanese government was reportedly reluctant to alter its tax policies solely to satisfy the administration. Countries are seeking advice from Wall Street banks on handling Trump's global trade war, with bankers warning that negotiations may involve unrelated political or symbolic concessions.
However, White House spokesperson Kush Desai stated that trading partners keen on negotiating a deal with Trump must &#8220;reduce the tariff and non-monetary barriers&#8221; causing the U.S. trade deficit, adding that any outside advice to the contrary is &#8220;pure speculation.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The move by South Africa and other countries comes in the backdrop of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45038824/treasury-secretary-scott-bessent-says-its-up-to-china-to-de-escalate-trade-tensions-india-to-be-the-first-trade-deal-to-be-signed">escalating </a>trade tensions globally. On Monday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called on China to de-escalate trade tensions, pointing out China's higher export rate to the U.S. as a key factor contributing to the current tariff imbalance.
Furthermore, Goldman Sachs had predicted that the U.S. tariffs on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45033064/16-million-chinese-jobs-under-threat-amid-escalating-us-china-trade-war-predicts-goldman-sachs">Chinese imports</a> could put up to 16 million jobs in China at risk, particularly in the manufacturing sector, highlighting a gravity of the situation. This global context underscores the significance of the U.S. trading partners&#8217; consultations with Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street bankers as the countries seeks to protect its own economic interests.

Mark Zuckerberg says that the cost-value equation for colleges is cracking as degrees keep getting pricier, yet the jobs they promise are no longer guaranteed.
What Happened: Speaking on comedian Theo Von's &#8216;This Past Weekend&#8217; podcast, the Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) founder, who famously quit Harvard, warned that ballooning tuition and $1.77 trillion in U.S. student-loan <a href="https://educationdata.org/student-loan-debt-statistics">debt</a> are steering the system toward "a reckoning."
Average published tuition at public four-year schools climbed to $11,610 for in-state students in 2024, with private nonprofits topping $43,000, College Board data <a href="https://research.collegeboard.org/trends/college-pricing/highlights">shows</a>.​ "You graduate when you're in debt … and you're starting off in this big hole," Zuckerberg told Von, adding that many majors fail to deliver clear job pathways.

"There&#8217;s going to have to be a reckoning," Zuckerberg warns. "People are going to have to kind of figure out whether that makes sense."

Federal figures put total student-loan liabilities at roughly $87 billion in new borrowing each year, and 28 percent of undergraduates now take out loans. With monthly payments resuming after a three-year pause, delinquencies are rising.
Questioning college was once off-limits, Zuckerberg said, but attitudes are shifting as Gen Z weighs boot camps, certificates, and direct-to-work tech jobs.​ &#8220;It&#8217;s sort of been this taboo thing to say, like, maybe not everyone needs to go to college&#8230; I think people are probably coming around to that opinion a little more now than maybe like ten years ago," says Zuckerberg.
Why It Matters: Zuckerberg isn't the first to question the necessity of college degrees in 2025. Elon Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/04/38319479/elon-musk-thinks-college-is-basically-for-fun-and-to-prove-that-you-can-do-your-chores-says-degr">actively dismisses</a> the need for formal credentials, too. Although Musk earned degrees from the University of Pennsylvania, he walked away from a Stanford Ph.D. program after just two days.
Peter Thiel, the billionaire PayPal co-founder and early Facebook investor, challenges higher education even more directly. The Stanford graduate with philosophy and law degrees believes <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/12/42366606/peter-thiel-is-a-stanford-grad-but-thinks-college-is-such-a-waste-that-he-offers-100000-to-students-who-quit-compares-education-to-santa">college is so overrated</a> that he offers students $100,000 to drop out.
