Trump Seeks Iran’s ‘Unconditional Surrender’

Watch Joe and Kailey LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.Israel and the US are ratcheting up pressure on Iran, sparking fresh speculation that Washington could be preparing to join in the attack launched by its closest Middle East ally.President Donald Trump said he wants a permanent end to Iran’s path to a nuclear weapon, after an early departure from the Group of Seven leaders meeting in Canada spurred questions about whether the US seeks to end the conflict or escalate it. “We know exactly where the so-called “Supreme Leader” is hiding. He is an easy target, but is safe there - We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now,” Trump said in a Truth Social post Tuesday. But he said that “our patience is wearing thin” and moments later sent another two-word post: “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!”Bloomberg Washington Correspondents Joe Mathieu and Kailey Leinz deliver insight and analysis on the latest headlines from the White House and Capitol Hill, including conversations with influential lawmakers and key figures in politics and policy.

Watch Joe and Kailey LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.President Donald Trump said Israel “could very well” strike Iran but that he had advised against an attack while negotiations were ongoing, as the departure of US staff from the region fans concerns about a coming assault.“I don’t want to say imminent, but it looks like it’s something that could very well happen,” Trump told reporters at an event Thursday at the White House.In recent days, Trump has said he is less confident the US will reach a deal with Iran to curb its nuclear ambitions in exchange for sanctions relief.

House Ways and Means Chair on Trump Tax Bill

Watch Joe and Kailey LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.Any Senate tax bill that doesn’t exempt taxes on tips and overtime would be “dead on arrival” in the House, Ways and Means Chair Jason Smith (R-Mo.) said today on Bloomberg.GOP Sens. including Thom Tillis (N.C.) and Lindsey Graham (S.C.) expressed skepticism about the cost and economic wisdom of including the two provisions, which were key campaign trail promises made by President Donald Trump. Senators instead called for funds to be used to make temporary business tax breaks permanent.Such a change would a “no go” for House Republicans, Smith said. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) said Trump told him this morning that tax exempt tips and overtime, as well as a tax cut for the elderly, are the most important provisions in the bill.Bloomberg Washington Correspondents Joe Mathieu and Kailey Leinz deliver insight and analysis on the latest headlines from the White House and Capitol Hill, including conversations with influential lawmakers and key figures in politics and policy.

Musk Blinks First In Trump Fight

Watch Joe and Kailey LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.When Elon Musk and Donald Trump joined forces during the presidential campaign, there was always a question over how long their alliance would last and who would prevail if it didn’t work out.After the public spat between the world’s richest man and its most-powerful leader spun out of control on Thursday, the answer was clear: It was Musk who eventually backed down when Tesla Inc.’s stock price tanked and his net worth crumbled by $34 billion. The damage to Musk’s business empire will be difficult to repair — with Tesla’s stock up only about 4% soon after the market’s open, recouping just some of its previous day’s slide.Bloomberg Washington Correspondents Joe Mathieu and Kailey Leinz deliver insight and analysis on the latest headlines from the White House and Capitol Hill, including conversations with influential lawmakers and key figures in politics and policy.
