The Virginia Governor's Race Has Republicans Reeling
The Virginia race is also Example A of how Elon Musk walking away from electoral politics, at least for now, could have down-ballot repercussions. Democrats in the commonwealth earlier this year were bracing for an influx of the tech billionaire's money into Virginia, where there are no caps on giving, but the Musk moolah has yet to appear. Just as significant, Youngkin, a multi-millionaire, has yet to infuse the Virginia ticket with significant personal money or contributions from his political action committee. 'He's got to win something,' said Delegate Terry Kilgore, the House GOP Leader, of the governor's legacy leaving office after his single term. Youngkin already lost control of the Virginia House of Delegates and failed to flip the state senate two years ago. And he was unable to find a top-tier candidate to take on Senator Tim Kaine (D-Va.) last year and will almost certainly not run himself next year against Virginia's senior senator, Mark Warner (D). That's because the governor seems to be preparing for a future presidential bid. He courted business moguls earlier this month at Allen and Company's annual retreat in Sun Valley, Idaho — where he appeared with Maryland's Democratic Gov. Wes Moore in a discussion moderated by CNN's Anderson Cooper, I'm told. Last week, Youngkin attended a GOP fundraising dinner in first-in-the-nation Iowa, and next month he'll travel to South Carolina, traditionally the first presidential primary in the South. But he could leave behind a political mess for his own party in Virginia. Youngkin all but assured Sears' nomination for governor, even though it was widely known she was a weak fundraiser and mercurial figure, and then attempted to torpedo the candidacy of her successor as lieutenant governor, John Reid, after it was alleged earlier this year that he had posted sexually explicit images online. Now, Virginia Republicans — who were already swimming against the tide in a blue-tinted state Trump has never won that tends to punish the party in power in Washington — are alarmed their entire statewide ticket may lose and could deepen the party's minority in the House of Delegates. Private polling from both parties has Spanberger leading outside margin of error. Democrats have her up 10 points, while Republicans project her to win by mid-single-digits, I'm told. And Republicans are worried their entire ticket may go down if she loses by more than five.

The Epstein crisis hits escape velocity
Presented by With help from Eli Okun, Bethany Irvine and Ali Bianco On today's Playbook Podcast, Adam Wren and Dasha Burns talk about the opportunity costs of delaying a vote on the Jeffrey Epstein files, how Dems are going to press the issue and what President Donald Trump finds most frustrating about all of this. Good Wednesday morning. It's Adam Wren. Get in touch. In today's Playbook … — An exclusive look at how Dems are preparing to press the Epstein issue during August recess. — As Washington obsesses over Epstein, Trump's agenda marches forward. — The GOP is souring on throwing further resources at the Virginia gubernatorial race, Jonathan Martin reports. DRIVING THE DAY ESCAPE VELOCITY: For the last 16 days, the Epstein saga has blotted out the sun inside Washington, the kind of evanescent Beltway fodder the White House insists won't break through outside of newsletters like this one. Now, with Speaker Mike Johnson adjourning House business this afternoon — last votes are scheduled for 3 p.m. — and canceling further action ahead of August recess in order to quash an effort to force a floor vote that would hasten the release of the Epstein files, the storyline is threatening to break out of the bubble and follow congressional Republicans back to their districts — nudged along by gleeful Democrats, who are 'plotting how to capitalize' on it all, as a team of our colleagues report, and have finally 'found their mojo,' as POLITICO Capitol Bureau Chief Rachael Bade writes this morning. In short: We're about to find out what kind of legs the Epstein issue truly has. But there's another thing to consider: There's a substantial opportunity cost to the GOP leadership's gambit. With a discharge petition ripening in the House when members return in September, the Epstein storyline promises to eclipse everything else in the Washington news cycle for many more days to come. Back home in their districts, Republican members may well see the issue burn up any oxygen they might otherwise use to sell their perceived wins in the One Big Beautiful Bill. 'The best hope of getting OBBB to break through is having Trump hammer it home,' one prominent Republican strategist who has worked on Senate races tells Playbook. 'So anything that knocks him off of that message and steers the conversation to things that divide Rs and force members onto the defensive is a hindrance.' Expect tense town halls and in-district dynamics for members. 'I don't suppose that this is the number-one issue for voters in America by any stretch, but it may be the number-one issue for the loudest voters,' Brendan Buck, the former top adviser to Republican Speakers John Boehner and Paul Ryan, tells Playbook. 'It's very clear that there are going to be a lot of people asking a lot of questions over recess when they get back home.' First in Playbook — We have some fresh details on what to expect … 1. The oppo files: American Bridge 21st Century President Pat Dennis tells Playbook the organization now has a dozen trackers they plan to deploy over recess and that they are recruiting more volunteers as they plan to press members on Epstein. 'They're going to hear about it from their constituents,' Dennis tells Playbook. 'We're going to be there to record it.' 2. How Dems are going to talk about it: At a 9 a.m. whip meeting this morning — their last one before recess — House Democrats will receive some direction from leadership about how to make the most of the issue. Some talking points, according to a messaging document obtained by Playbook: 3. Beyond the talking points: Democratic leadership is urging members to use official paid communication to get the word out about the issue. One email template reads: 'House Republicans voted to effectively block a debate on whether or not the Department of Justice should release the Epstein files. Congress must pursue the truth. No one in the government should be trying to keep the facts on these child predators hidden.' The joy ride: 'It should be very clear that Democrats are having a very good time with this at Republicans' expense,' Buck tells us. 'And Republicans don't seem to quite appreciate that, and are kind of letting themselves be taken for a ride.' One House Democratic aide tells Playbook that members' messaging priorities over the recess will not exclusively center on Epstein, but will also focus on affordability. In that sense, there's a potentially huge opportunity cost for Democrats, too: Any time they spend talking about Epstein is time not spent talking about, say, cuts to Medicaid in the Republican megalaw, which is likely to be more salient with voters in 2026. But the drip-drip of stories isn't stopping. The latest and most interesting revelations came from CNN's Andrew Kaczynski and Em Steck, who filled in some of the blank spaces in the historical record of Trump and Epstein's relationship, scouring archives and yielding photos from 1993 that 'confirm for the first time that Epstein attended Trump's 1993 wedding to Marla Maples,' they write. They also found footage from a 1999 Victoria's Secret fashion event in New York that 'shows Trump and Epstein laughing and chatting together ahead of the runway event,' and photos from 2000 showing Trump, Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell and Prince Andrew at a charity fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago. What does Trump think of it all? He had a brief interaction on the phone with Kaczynski. 'You've got to be kidding me,' the president said before repeatedly calling CNN 'fake news' and hanging up. He could have more to say today, though there aren't natural set pieces for him to respond. At the Mellon Auditorium at 5 p.m., he's signing executive orders and speaking at an AI summit connected to David Sacks and the 'All In' podcast crew. Back at the White House, expect Epstein-related questions to dominate the 1 p.m. briefing by press secretary Karoline Leavitt. COUNTDOWN TO RECESS WILL THE SENATE STAY?: Senate Majority Leader John Thune hasn't canceled recess outright like Trump wanted, but he told senators in a closed-door lunch yesterday to hold off on making any plans for next weekend, Axios' Stef Kight and Hans Nichols report. It's looking more possible that votes on Trump nominees will bleed into August, though for how long is unclear. (If no one else, Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) is fine with it.) BIG THINGS ON THE AGENDA: Yesterday, the Senate cleared its first hurdle toward passing a government funding bill, voting 90-8 to advance a procedural motion on a bill that would in part fund the VA and some military projects. But the show of bipartisanship may not keep until September, POLITICO's Jennifer Scholtes and colleagues report. 'Nothing is guaranteed,' Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said after yesterday's vote. What's the plan?: 'Schumer is trying to hone the Democratic government funding strategy after caving to Republicans' strong-arm tactics in March,' Jennifer and colleagues write. '[There] are competing factions split over how hard the party should fight against even bipartisan funding bills in the wake of Republicans green-lighting Trump's $9 billion funding clawbacks package.' The factions: Some Democrats want to make the bipartisan appropriations process work and avoid that all-or-nothing scenario come September, as Semafor's Burgess Everett reported last night. Others want to make sure that there won't be any more rescissions. 'Why would anyone trust the Republicans at this point?' Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) told Axios' Hans Nichols and Stephen Neukam. Right on time … Rescissions, part two: The White House is planning a second rescissions package to send over to Congress, which will include cuts to the Department of Education, The Daily Signal's Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell scooped. 'We've got a number of items we're looking at also, obviously talking to the senators too,' White House deputy chief of staff James Blair said. 'You'll obviously see that very soon.' Before all of that: The Senate narrowly advanced a procedural motion yesterday on Emil Bove's bid to serve on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, POLITICO's Hailey Fuchs reports. His confirmation is still facing resistance, with Susan Collins (R-Maine) saying yesterday she will vote no, per NBC's Frank Thorp. Also running into some trouble: Paul Ingrassia, who's nominated to serve in the Office of the Special Counsel. His hearing is on Thursday, but Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) is already a no. 'It's January 6th, it's a number of other things,' Tillis told NBC. 'I think he's one of these people that's checked all the boxes and they're all the wrong boxes.' THE MAGA REVOLUTION FULL STEAM AHEAD: Even as the Epstein ordeal soaks up much of Washington's attention, Trump's policy and political agenda is advancing on multiple fronts. TRADING PLACES: New details on trade agreements with Japan, the Philippines and Indonesia were announced yesterday. In the 'largest trade deal,' Trump set Japan's tariffs at 15 percent, down from 25 percent, and said Japan will invest $550 billion in the U.S. plus opening to trade cars and rice, WSJ's Gavin Bade and Megumi Fujikawa report. … The Philippines will also get a 19 percent tariff, Trump announced yesterday after his meeting with President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr., though the final terms have yet to be confirmed, POLITICO's Ari Hawkins and Phelim Kine write. … The U.S. will maintain a 19 percent tariff on Indonesian goods, and the Indonesian government agreed to drop some of its restrictions to buy American oil, gas, airplanes and agricultural products, per NYT's Ana Swanson. Coming attractions: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he'll be talking with his Chinese counterparts in Sweden next week, the third round of trade talks which may extend the trade truce past Aug. 12, Bloomberg's Daniel Flatley reports. He said trade with China is in a 'very good place,' and Trump also said yesterday that his own visit to the nation could happen 'in the not too distant future.' How it's playing: The S&P 500 reached a new high yesterday buoyed by Bessent's China announcement, per WSJ's Alexander Osipovich. But with tariffs looming to take effect in a little over a week, concerns about inflation are growing: Goldman Sachs is getting worried about the economy, CNBC's Jeff Cox writes, and suggested inflation may hit 3.3 percent this year. VS. THE JUDICIARY: With the expiration yesterday of Alina Habba's 120-day term as interim U.S. attorney for New Jersey, a panel of federal judges moved to appoint Desiree Leigh Grace as the new top U.S. attorney. But hours later, AG Pam Bondi took to X to blast the panel of 'rogue judges' and announce that the DOJ had fired Grace. NYT's Tracey Tully and Jonah Bromwich have the full readout. It has the makings of the next big Trump legal fight over the judiciary, even though the place of courts in filling U.S. attorney roles until Senate confirmation has been upheld by Congress before, POLITICO's Kyle Cheney notes on X. VS. THE MEDIA: By now, it's well known that Paramount decided to cough up $16 million to Trump in a settlement over his lawsuit stemming from former Vice President Kamala Harris' '60 Minutes' interview. But yesterday, Trump announced that Skydance Media — the company in the process of merging with Paramount, and which is awaiting FCC approval of the pending deal — will give him an extra $20 million worth of advertising, WSJ's Joe Flint reports. VS. CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS: House Republicans are using the appropriations process to attempt to rename the Opera House at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts after first lady Melania Trump, NYT's Michaela Towfighi and Robin Pogrebin write. VS. HIGHER EDUCATION: The Education Department paused a student loan forgiveness program — Income-Based Repayment, which includes about 2 million borrowers — with little notice yesterday, and did not say if or when the program would resume, WaPo's Danielle Douglas-Gabriel reports. … The next Virginia university figure on the Trump administration's target list is George Mason University President Gregory Washington, who had previously thrown his support behind DEI programming, NYT's Stephanie Saul writes. VS. EXISTING CONGRESSIONAL MAPS: New Democratic polling found 63 percent of likely voters in Texas think the state's Trump-backed mid-cycle redistricting plan is unnecessary, with 53 percent saying they believe the Texas Legislature is prioritizing the new map over flood disaster relief, POLITICO's Andrew Howard scooped. … But the White House's push for new, even more GOP-friendly maps doesn't stop at the Lone Star State: it's also backing a growing effort in Missouri to create a new map that could give Republicans seven of the state's eight House seats, Punchbowl's Ally Mutnick and Jake Sherman report. BEST OF THE REST FIRST IN PLAYBOOK — GOP sours on Virginia: The Republican Party is not looking to throw more money at what they increasingly see as a losing campaign by Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears to succeed Gov. Glenn Youngkin, our colleague Jonathan Martin reports this morning. 'The convergence of paltry fundraising, weak polling and a candidate seen as incapable of fixing either has some in the RGA's orbit unenthused, I'm told, about giving much more than the $500,000 the group has already contributed to Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears … And while Sears and Trump met privately earlier this year in the White House, the president has yet to embrace her candidacy, a non-endorsement that stems from her criticism of him between his two terms.' TRAIL MIX: Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.), who's been mulling a gubernatorial run in New York, will be making an 'important announcement' at 7:40 a.m. on Fox & Friends. … Evan Hutchison is fundraising for a primary challenge against Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.), per POLITICO's Jeff Coltin. ... Kevin Lincoln is making another run for California's 9th district, setting up a potential rematch between him and Rep. Josh Harder (D-Calif.), who narrowly beat him last year, Roll Call's Daniela Altimari reports. MEANWHILE IN GAZA: Special envoy Steve Witkoff is again traveling to the Middle East with 'strong hope' of getting a ceasefire deal and establishing a new humanitarian corridor for aid in Gaza, AP's Farnoush Amiri and Michelle Price report. The State Department did not provide more details on when and where Witkoff is going. But it comes as food distribution has found itself at the center of negotiations on peace talks, with both sides disputing who will control the aid distribution sites, WSJ's Summer Said and colleagues write. Meanwhile, Agence France-Presse said yesterday that 'without immediate intervention,' their reporters in Gaza will die of starvation and dehydration, per AP's David Bauder. FOR YOUR RADAR: 'The Forest Service Claims It's Fully Staffed for a Worsening Fire Season. Data Shows Thousands of Unfilled Jobs,' by ProPublica's Abe Streep TALK OF THE TOWN JD Vance led a big-dollar fundraising dinner last night in Nantucket, bringing in $3 million in donations for the GOP, per the NY Post. Beto O'Rourke said he regrets not going negative against Ted Cruz. Gabe Evans reportedly mischaracterized how his immigrant family arrived in the U.S. Previously touting that his grandfather came 'the legal way,' INS records reveal his family arrived illegally and lived undocumented in Texas for over a decade. THE AFTER-PARTY: Today, Trump will deliver the keynote address at the 'Winning the AI Race' summit, hosted by the All-In Podcast and the Hill & Valley Forum. But really, the summit will be the starter course to a meaty late night: the exclusive afterparty at Ned's Club, which will be 'a who's who of Silicon Valley's AI and tech elite,' our West Wing Playbook colleagues scooped yesterday. READING CORNER: There's a new Trump book slump, writes our colleague Daniel Lippman. Nonfiction book sales on the whole are down, and it's much lower compared to the sales from Trump's first term. 'The days of just writing a book to write a book and checking the box for someone's career — those days are over,' a book agent told Daniel. PLAYBOOK METRO SECTION: 'Trump's Effort to Quash DC's NFL Team Has Some Lefties Celebrating,' the latest column from POLITICO's Michael Schaffer: '[Adam] Eidinger said, Trump's culture-war intrusion could upend the deal by prompting a distracting debate — thus giving his group time to get the no-stadium initiative in place. 'Anything that slows it down is good,' Eidinger told me, who opposes the stadium because he thinks the land should be used to build housing and cut into D.C.'s soaring cost of living. 'I never thought I'd be happy about him doing something toxic and racist.''

Trump tariffs live updates: Trump strikes trade agreement with Japan, calls it 'largest deal in history'
President Trump said on Tuesday during an official meeting at the White House with members of Congress, that the US and Japan had reached a trade deal. 'I just signed the largest deal in history with Japan," Trump said during the meeting. The president said the agreement includes a 15% tariff on imported goods from Japan, and the country will invest $550 billion into the US. Earlier on Tuesday, Trump said the US had also struck a trade deal with the Philippines, which will see the country's imports face a 19% tariff into the US. Trump said US exports will face no import tax in the Philippines as part of the deal. The White House unveiled new details of a confirmed trade agreement with Indonesia too. Yahoo Finance's Ben Werschkul reports that a 19% tariff will apply to Indonesian goods, as well as a 40% rate on any 'transhipped' goods. Officials said no tax would apply to "99%" of US imports. The deal developments come as prospects for larger pacts with India and the European Union have soured. An interim deal between the US and India before an Aug. 1 deadline looks increasingly unlikely, according to Reuters. The EU still wants a trade deal with the US but is preparing countermeasures as Trump's hardline stance makes a no-deal outcome more likely, The Wall Street Journal reported. 'If they want war, they will get war,' a German official told the WSJ. Trump is reportedly pushing for higher blanket tariffs on imports from the EU, throwing a wrench in negotiations ahead of an Aug. 1 deadline for sweeping duties to take effect. He has threatened 30% tariffs on all imports. Last week, Trump said he would soon send letters to over 150 smaller US trade partners, setting blanket tariff rates for that large group. Trump has already sent letters to over 20 trade partners outlining tariffs on goods imported from their countries. Earlier in July, Trump announced a 35% tariff on Canadian goods and followed that up with promises of 30% duties on Mexico and the EU. The letters have at times upended months of careful negotiations, with Trump saying he is both open to reaching different deals but also touting his letters as "the deals" themselves. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Tuesday said he expected many deals to take shape over the next several days. Read more: What Trump's tariffs mean for the economy and your wallet Here are the latest updates as the policy reverberates around the world. Trump: 'I've just signed the largest trade deal in history with Japan' President Trump announced overnight that his team and Japan have finally reached a trade deal, which includesa 15% tariff on imported goods from Japan, and the country will invest $550 billion into the US. Trump, who made the announcement during a White House reception with members of Congress and later on Truth Social, called it the "largest trade deal in history" in reference to Japan. The deal wasn't easy to achieve. Japan's Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba had hoped to speak with Trump at the G-7 meeting back in June, but earlier this month Trump said Japan was "spoiled" and doubted a deal would happen. The two sides have come a long way, with Ishiba remaining stoic yet firm to maintain his country's trust while trying to reach an agreement with the US. Bloomberg News reports: Read more here. Japanese auto stocks surge as US announces lower-than-expected tariffs Shares of Japanese automakers pumped after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a trade deal with Japan, lowering the previously discussed 25% auto tariffs on Japanese vehicles to 15%. Trump hailed the deal as the 'largest Deal ever,' claiming Japan would invest $550 billion in the US and allow greater access to its markets, including for American autos, trucks, and agricultural goods. Honda (HMC) surged 9.8%, Toyota (TM) jumped 13.9%, Nissan (7222.T) gained over 5%, and Mazda (7261.T) soared 17.7%. Mitsubishi Motors (7211.T) rose over 12%. According to Japan's NHK, the revised tariff structure includes a 12.5% cut plus a 2.5% 'Most Favored Nation' base rate. The move comes as Japanese auto exports to the US have suffered, plunging 26.7% in June. Read more here. Trump announces new details on trade pact with Indonesia President Trump and his team released new details of a pact announced last week with Indonesia, confirming plans for a 19% tariff on the country and adding a 40% rate on any 'transhipped' goods. The more complete framework of the deal is further confirmation of an agreement with America's 23rd largest trading partner that will avert 32% tariffs that Trump threatened previously. It also stipulates that 'Indonesia is going to drop its tariffs to 0% on over 99% of its trade,' a senior White House official said Tuesday. The official added that the deal includes the elimination of non-tariff barriers that Trump's team say hinders American companies, including in areas like pre-shipment inspection requirements, motor vehicle safety standards, and restrictions around US medical devices and pharmaceuticals. The exact definition of how Trump defines transshipped goods has been a matter of some debate in recent weeks. The deal with Indonesia includes goods not just re-labeled but made with a significant portion of components from a third country and then assembled in Indonesia. It's a provision also included in a recent deal with Vietnam and is clearly aimed at China. Indonesian negotiators previously confirmed that a deal had been struck but not all details, with the country president's spokesperson telling Reuters the negotiations had been 'an extraordinary struggle.' Trump says US has reached trade deal with the Philippines President Trump said Tuesday the US had reached a trade deal with the Philippines following its president's visit to the White House. He posted on Truth Social: This doesn't seem to move the needle much for the Philippines, whose imports to the US will see a 19% tariff instead of the 20% Trump had threatened from Aug. 1. The Philippines is the US's 29th-largest trade partner. Copper-laden ships race to reach US ahead of tariffs Fascinating angle from Bloomberg: Read more here. Coca-Cola CFO on tariffs: 'We think we can manage' Coca-Cola's (KO) CFO said the company is managing President Trump's tariffs. "June turned out to be a disappointing month," Coca-Cola CFO John Murphy told Yahoo Finance on Tuesday. He noted that tariffs continue to create uncertainty heading into the second half of the year. "We think we can manage absorbing any of the impacts with the various levers that we have at our disposal. It's always a local decision as to how to utilize those levers, but right now, it's something that we factored into our rest of year guidance." Yahoo Finance's Brooke DiPalma reports that Coca-Cola reported earnings for its second quarter that topped forecasts. Read more here. Bessent says he will meet Chinese officials, discuss tariff deadline extension US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Fox Business on Tuesday that he plans to meet his Chinese counterpart next week and discuss an extension of an August 12 deadline for higher tariffs. Both China and the US reached a trade truce in London last month to prevent escalating tariffs. Reuters reports: Read more here. RTX cuts 2025 profit forecast as tariff costs weigh US aerospace and defense giant RTX (RTX) cut its 2025 profit forecast on Tuesday, citing President Trump's trade war as the major reason.

GM's core profit slides in second quarter as Trump's tariffs bite Tariffs have started to hit US automaker General Motors (GM), who reported a fall in second quarter core profit of 32% to $3 billion on Tuesday.

AstraZeneca announces $50B US manufacturing investment, matching its big pharma peers Pharmaceutical giant, AstraZeneca (AZN) announced it plans to invest $50 billion in US manufacturing by 2030, in the hopes it will avoid steep tariffs on imported components manufactured abroad. Yahoo Finance's senior reporter Anjalee Khemlani looks at how AstraZeneca's latest US investment keeps pace with its big pharma rivals. Read more here Trump targeting trade loopholes risks 70% of China exports to US China's growth could be eroded due to President Trump's efforts to target the country via its trading partners across global supply chains, according to Bloomberg Economics. China is using other countries like Vietnam and Mexico more to make products for the US, a trend that accelerated after Trump's first trade war. China's share of total value- added manufacturing of goods destined for the US via Vietnam and Mexico surged 22% in 2023 from 14% in 2017. Bloomberg News reports: Read more here. India-US interim trade deal prospects dim ahead of tariff deadline: Sources Hopes for a US-India trade deal before the August 1 deadline are fading, with talks stuck over cuts to farm and dairy tariffs, according to sources. Reuters reports: Read more here. Orange juice importer says Trump's Brazil tariffs will raise US prices Orange juice prices join the list of products that could see price increases as a result of tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. Bloomberg reports: A US orange juice distributor is suing over President Donald Trump's move to impose a 50% tariff on Brazil starting next month. Johanna Foods Inc. is arguing that Trump's reasons for the levy increase — including support for Brazil's former right-wing President Jair Bolsonaro — don't present 'unusual and extraordinary' threats that give him emergency authority to circumvent Congress' taxing power. The New Jersey-based company estimates that the Brazil tariffs would increase its costs for not-from-concentrate orange juice from Brazil by $68 million over the next 12 months and raise retail costs for consumers between 20-25%. According to the complaint, Brazil supplies more than half of all orange juice sold in the US. Read more here. Brazil acknowledges possibility of no US trade deal by August 1 President Trump's August 1 tariff deadline is steadily approaching, and trading partners are preparing for multiple outcomes. Brazil, for example, is increasingly open to the possibility that a trade deal won't be reached in time. Reuters reported: Read more here. US steelmaker Cleveland-Cliffs touts 'positive impact' of tariffs Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF) CEO Lourenco Goncalves praised President Trump's protectionist policies on Monday, stating that the 25%-50% tariffs on foreign steel imports have had a "positive impact" on the US steel and automotive industries. The Section 232 steel tariffs "have played a significant role in supporting the domestic steel industry," Goncalves said during the company's earnings call. 'So far, there's no indication that the Section 232 tariffs will be used as a bargaining chip by the Trump administration as leverage in trade deals with other countries," Goncalves added. "We appreciate that and fully expect that the administration will keep in place and enforce these Section 232 tariffs." Goncalves said the only place where it's having a problem is with Stelco, the Canadian steel company it acquired in November 2024.

More signs that Europe is hardening its stance We detailed earlier (keep scrolling) how the EU is readying its plans for retaliation in case a trade deal with the US fails. The Wall Street Journal has a big report out today with some more details of those plans — and details on how delicate negotiations are on even thinner ice, as President Trump keeps wanting more. The report said the EU got a "surprise" when US officials said Trump would want a higher baseline tariff in any deal, likely north of 15%, after months of talks around a 10% baseline. That apparently prompted Germany, Europe's largest economy, to swing to more of an alignment with France, which has been pushing a harder line throughout the negotiations. 'All options are on the table,' a German official said. The official said there was still time to negotiate a deal but added, 'If they want war, they will get war.'

President Trump announced overnight that his team and Japan have finally reached a trade deal, which includesa 15% tariff on imported goods from Japan, and the country will invest $550 billion into the US. Trump, who made the announcement during a White House reception with members of Congress and later on Truth Social, called it the "largest trade deal in history" in reference to Japan. The deal wasn't easy to achieve. Japan's Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba had hoped to speak with Trump at the G-7 meeting back in June, but earlier this month Trump said Japan was "spoiled" and doubted a deal would happen. The two sides have come a long way, with Ishiba remaining stoic yet firm to maintain his country's trust while trying to reach an agreement with the US. Bloomberg News reports: Read more here.

Trump announces new details on trade pact with Indonesia President Trump and his team released new details of a pact announced last week with Indonesia, confirming plans for a 19% tariff on the country and adding a 40% rate on any 'transhipped' goods. The more complete framework of the deal is further confirmation of an agreement with America's 23rd largest trading partner that will avert 32% tariffs that Trump threatened previously. It also stipulates that 'Indonesia is going to drop its tariffs to 0% on over 99% of its trade,' a senior White House official said Tuesday. The official added that the deal includes the elimination of non-tariff barriers that Trump's team say hinders American companies, including in areas like pre-shipment inspection requirements, motor vehicle safety standards, and restrictions around US medical devices and pharmaceuticals. The exact definition of how Trump defines transshipped goods has been a matter of some debate in recent weeks. The deal with Indonesia includes goods not just re-labeled but made with a significant portion of components from a third country and then assembled in Indonesia. It's a provision also included in a recent deal with Vietnam and is clearly aimed at China. Indonesian negotiators previously confirmed that a deal had been struck but not all details, with the country president's spokesperson telling Reuters the negotiations had been 'an extraordinary struggle.'

Orange juice importer says Trump's Brazil tariffs will raise US prices Orange juice prices join the list of products that could see price increases as a result of tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. Bloomberg reports: A US orange juice distributor is suing over President Donald Trump's move to impose a 50% tariff on Brazil starting next month. Johanna Foods Inc. is arguing that Trump's reasons for the levy increase — including support for Brazil's former right-wing President Jair Bolsonaro — don't present 'unusual and extraordinary' threats that give him emergency authority to circumvent Congress' taxing power. The New Jersey-based company estimates that the Brazil tariffs would increase its costs for not-from-concentrate orange juice from Brazil by $68 million over the next 12 months and raise retail costs for consumers between 20-25%. According to the complaint, Brazil supplies more than half of all orange juice sold in the US. Read more here.

US steelmaker Cleveland-Cliffs touts 'positive impact' of tariffs Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF) CEO Lourenco Goncalves praised President Trump's protectionist policies on Monday, stating that the 25%-50% tariffs on foreign steel imports have had a "positive impact" on the US steel and automotive industries. The Section 232 steel tariffs "have played a significant role in supporting the domestic steel industry," Goncalves said during the company's earnings call. 'So far, there's no indication that the Section 232 tariffs will be used as a bargaining chip by the Trump administration as leverage in trade deals with other countries," Goncalves added. "We appreciate that and fully expect that the administration will keep in place and enforce these Section 232 tariffs." Goncalves said the only place where it's having a problem is with Stelco, the Canadian steel company it acquired in November 2024. The CEO urged Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to implement similar protectionist policies, saying that other efforts to curb unfair trade practices were "insufficient." Cleveland-Cliffs stock soared 11% in early trading Monday after the company reported record steel shipments of 4.3 million net tons for the three months ended June 30.
