President Donald Trump has managed to make his erratic trade policies even more baffling to countries desperate to negotiate an escape from his wrath.

President Donald Trump has been sending letters to countries outlining higher tariffs they’ll face if they don’t make trade deals with the U.S. by Aug. 1.

For most world leaders, tariff letters from US President Donald Trump mean a big headache. But for one Southeast Asian general, the communique is being spun as welcome recognition of the embattled, isolated and reviled junta he leads.

In Kerr County, Trump was greeted by Gov. Greg Abbott, who on Friday announced the federal government updated Trump's disaster declaration to include more counties. Abbott said the move "will provide critical assistance to Texans and communities impacted by the devastating flooding."

In a wide-ranging interview with NBC News, Trump talked about tariffs, sending Patriot missiles to NATO for Ukraine and how he'll sell his recently passed "big, beautiful bill."

Trump insiders maintain that it would make little sense — politically or from a policy standpoint — for the president to offer any further extensions on trade.

Trump said this week that there would be no new extensions granted for the August 1 deadline. Market pros tell BI where they see winners and losers.

Plus, the Justice Department has subpoenaed 20 doctors and clinics involved in “performing transgender medical procedures on children.”
