Trump Threatens Additional Tariffs on Countries Aligned with Brics (WSJ. 20250707)
President Trump is threatening additional 10% tariffs on countries that align with the BRICS group of emerging markets, which he accused of harboring anti-American policies. Hours earlier, BRICS members, gathered at an annual summit, had signed a declaration voicing concern with tariffs and their effect on global trade and economic development. Trump's threats and Asian stock markets and US futures lower ahead of what was already shaping up to be a tense week, featuring a Wednesday deadline for dozens of countries to strike trade deals with Washington or face new tariffs. Officials in Central Texas are continuing to search for survivors after flash floods on Friday killed at least 82 people, the majority of them along the Guadalupe River, which have been crowded with families and campers ready to enjoy the July Fourth holiday. Among the missing are nearly a dozen girls from a summer camp located upstream from the town of Kerrville, where the river rose almost 35 feet in just over an hour on Friday morning. And Tesla shares have dropped in pre-market trading after Elon Musk over the weekend announced he's creating a new political party called the America Party, reigniting a feud between the Tesla CEO and President Trump.

James Fishback은 테슬라 이사회 의장에게 서한을 보내 테슬라에 대한 투자를 연기하겠다고 했음
