The IRS just agreed to never audit Trump again.
A one-page addition quietly attached to yesterday's $1.8 billion settlement permanently bars the IRS from examining Trump's tax returns, his family, and his companies. The original settlement said nothing about taxes. This showed up the next day. Former IRS commissioner Danny Werfel said he was "unaware of a single precedent where the IRS has agreed in advance to permanently forgo examination of previously filed tax returns for a specific person or business." The settlement was sold as accountability. The extra page is a lifetime audit exemption for the president. Source: POLITICO, FT

Trump just confirmed that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is traveling with him to China aboard Air Force One.
According to TruthSocial, a potential US–China semiconductor deal is being discussed around a high-level tech summit involving major industry figures, with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s late inclusion seen as a signal that advanced chip sales (especially H200 chips) could be on the agenda. The Trump administration has already outlined a conditional framework for allowing some China-bound chip exports, and broader comments suggest market access is part of negotiations. However, political resistance from China hawks, pending legislation to review chip exports, and analyst skepticism make a full breakthrough unlikely. The most probable outcome is limited, conditional progress rather than a broad deal. Source: TruthSocial
