On today's podcast:   

1) More tensions between the U.S. and China as President Trump says Xi Jinping is extremely hard to make a deal with. Tensions between the two countries are increasing, with the US recently barring the shipping of critical jet engine parts to China and seeking to slap fresh curbs on Huawei Technologies Co. chips, among other measures.  

2) Elon Musk blasts the president's tax cut bill, calling it an "abomination." Musk's criticism was met with responses from White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who brushed it off, and Senator Mike Lee, who appeared to endorse Musk's criticism. The tax bill is forecast to bring down federal revenue by about $4 trillion over a decade, adding about $2.5 trillion to the federal deficit over the period.  

3) Wells Fargo finally gets out from under the Fed's cap on its assets. The Fed said Wells Fargo met all conditions required by an enforcement action imposed on the bank in 2018 to remove the restriction. The removal of the cap marks a major win for CEO Charlie Scharf and allows the bank to pursue growth again, with plans to increase returns and growth in a deliberate manner.
