Wall Street Journal: “Trump said on Truth Social late Sunday that “tariff letters and/or deals” will be delivered from midday Monday, and threatened an additional levy on countries aligning themselves with the ‘Anti-American policies’ of the Brics group of emerging economies.”

Said Trump: “Any Country aligning themselves with the Anti-American policies of BRICS, will be charged an ADDITIONAL 10% Tariff. There will be no exceptions to this policy.”

“President Trump is set to rekindle economic pressure on America’s trading partners this week, as a deadline for making trade deals elapses and the administration begins notifying countries of the tariffs they’ll face on exports to the United States,” the New York Times reports.

Axios: The next phase of tariff limbo is just starting.

“Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has arrived in Washington for a visit with Trump, his third in half a year,” Punchbowl News reports.

“Netanyahu’s alliance is incredibly important to his domestic political standing in Israel. Trump was already popular in Israel and has grown more so since the U.S. bombing attack on Iranian nuclear sites last month.”

“Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, appeared publicly on Saturday night for the first time since the 12-day war with Israel began last month, Iran’s state media and his official website reported,” the New York Times reports.

“After weeks of sheltering in a bunker, Mr. Khamenei on Saturday night attended an annual Shiite religious ceremony for Ashura, which was held at his compound.”

“President Trump said the U.S. will begin sending letters Monday to other countries setting a tariff rate on their imports,” Axios reports.

“After months of threats, Trump is abruptly re-escalating the trade war.”
