Trump Warns Iran Amid Truce Push

A look at the National Defense Authorization Act -- which could be voted upon by the House of Representatives this week -- led Bloomberg Intelligence's July 20 Washington Policy Pulse -- with a highlight of a Senate provision that would prohibit firms that contract with the Department of Defense from conducting stock buybacks or pay dividends. We think that the language, as written, could -- subject to liberal interpretation -- could apply to more firms than just defense contractors.

We also previewed what the US Trade Representative may do later this week as the deadline for President Donald Trump's Section 122 tariffs comes on July 24. We expect tariffs will be shifted to Section 301 tariffs, and could represent an increase for firms like Nike, Adidas, Lululemon and peers.

Finally, we discussed the House budget reconciliation efforts -- which aims to provide up to $60 billion in funds for the conflict with Iran -- and how that effort may struggle to become law.

The Bloomberg Intelligence Financial Policy weekly call is designed to provide investors an opportunity to learn about the most recent relevant policy research, information regarding forthcoming political catalysts and other on-goings within Washington DC.  

The call is open to all and is held every Monday at 10:00 a.m. EST. You can register for the call here: https://bloomberg.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__PqCkwY-S2m3hbQqvVC1_Q#/registration

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that President Trump will be releasing 'findings' on the 2020 election in his address from the White House tonight and that all of his claims around election integrity will be 'backed by facts.' Leavitt also told reporters that a longtime teleprompter operator who has been found betting on presidential speeches on Kalshi has been put on leave. Leavitt called the actions 'deeply unfortunate and frankly a disgrace' and said that the prediction market alerted the CFTC about the bets.
