After days of Republican drama, the House on Thursday passed President Donald Trump’s sweeping tax cut and spending bill<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump helped Speaker Mike Johnson pressure\u00a0GOP holdouts<\/a>\u00a0into flipping their no votes to allow the measure to go forward in time to meet the president’s self-imposed July Fourth deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that his tariff letters “and\/or deals” will be delivered to “various countries from around the world,” on Monday, starting at 12 p.m ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, it is unknown which nations will be receiving the letter and\/or deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I am pleased to announce that the UNITED STATES TARIFF Letters, and\/or Deals, with various Countries from around the World, will be delivered starting 12:00 P.M. (Eastern), Monday, July 7th,” Trump said. “Thank you for your attention to this matter! DONALD J. TRUMP, President of The United States of America.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shortly thereafter, Trump posted that any nation that aligns itself with the “anti-American policies of BRICS” will be charged an additional 10% tariff, and that there will be “no exceptions” to the countries that are hit with this “BRICS tariff.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRICS members include Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nations that are considered “partner states” include Belarus, Bolivia, Cuba, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Nigeria, Thailand, Uganda, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a lengthy post on his social media platform on Sunday, President Donald Trump wrote that Elon Musk is becoming a “TRAIN WRECK,” explaining their differences on EV mandates and why he pulled the nomination of Musk’s associate to lead NASA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I am saddened to watch Elon Musk go completely ‘off the rails,’ essentially becoming a TRAIN WRECK over the past five weeks,” Trump wrote in a post after Musk announced he was starting a new political party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump then claimed that Musk told him he had “no problems” with him ending subsidies for electric vehicle purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“No more EV Mandate. I have campaigned on this for two years and, quite honestly, when Elon gave me his total and unquestioned Endorsement, I asked him whether or not he knew that I was going to terminate the EV Mandate – It was in every speech I made, and in every conversation I had. He said he had no problems with that – I was very surprised!” Trump wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The president went on to argue that he felt that it was in the best interest of the American public not to have Musk associate Jared Isaacman lead NASA due to their space industry connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I also thought it inappropriate that a very close friend of Elon, who was in the Space Business, run NASA, when NASA is such a big part of Elon\u2019s corporate life. My Number One charge is to protect the American Public!” Trump added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Donald Trump said Elon Musk “can have fun with it” when asked about the billionaire’s announcement that he will start a new political party, but called it “ridiculous” and said it will create more confusion for voters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think it’s ridiculous to start a third party,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think starting a third party just adds to confusion. It really seems to have been developed for two parties. Third parties have never worked, so he can have fun with it, but I think it’s ridiculous,” the president said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Elon Musk’s announcement that he plans to create a third political party called the “America Party” in response to Trump’s tax-cut and spending bill, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent shaded the billionaire and former head of DOGE about his efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Look, the principles of DOGE were very popular. I think if you would look at the polling, Elon was not, so I believe that the boards of directors at his various companies wanted him to come back and run those companies, which he is better at than anyone,” Bessent said on CNN. “So, I imagine that those board of directors did not like this announcement yesterday, and will be encouraging him to focus on his business activities, not his political activities.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
