    The Financial Express' Anjana Pv on whether Donald Trump has ordered
    Susie Wiles to share with Trump's endorsed successor (Peter Thiel's
    VP JD Vance? Norm Braman's Little Marco Rubio? another GOP.COM striver
    for WhiteHouse.GOV with a billionaire moneyman?) Trump's MAGA
    marketing research gathered by Wiles (and Bill Stepien before her (and
    Brad Parscale before him)) and do legacy American proles favor Wall
    Street bankers profiting from scab worker money transfers: <URL:https://www.financialexpress.com/business/investing-abroad-us-senate-slashes-remittance-tax-to-1-from-3-5-internet-asks-who-is-lobbying-republicans-3898284/>
    | US Senate has drastically reduced the proposed remittance tax under
    | the latest draft of the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act,' bringing it
    | down to just 1%. Originally, the bill had suggested a 5% tax on all
    | international money transfers made by non-US citizens, including H-
    | 1B visa holders and green card holders, with no exemption threshold,
    | meaning even small transfers would have been taxed. Following
    | criticism and concerns about the potential impact, the proposal was
    | first lowered to 3.5%. Now, it has been reduced to 1%, with routine
    | remittance transactions expected to be largely exempt under the new
    | structure. According to the revised bill, the 1% remittance tax will
    | only apply to qualifying transfers made after December 31, 2025.

    Will Trump order Jamieson Greer to order USTR.GOV to trade Narendra
    Modi continued access to the American labor market for .IN's excess
    human capital in exchange for more sales of Jim Taiclet's LMCO.COM
    F-35s?

    "Post July 9th, President Trump moves on to other important
    geopolitical matters with the tariffs as an ancillary weapon for
    adherence to the new international trade alignment. Those who want
    to benefit commit to the U.S. dollar as the trade currency (that's
    the reason for India's announcement today), and trade preferences
    are then used to shake up the geopolitical alignments. Watch for
    how this plays out with Trump's planned UK visit." - Sundance <URL:https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/07/01/president- trump-firm-no-more-tariff-extensions-beyond-july-8th/>
