House Speaker Mike Johnson said the timeline for passing President Donald Trump's tax bill by Independence Day may slip, even as he and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said they believed they could soon unlock a compromise over the state and local tax deduction.
'It's possible,' Johnson told reporters Friday about missing Trump's July 4 deadline to sign the bill. 'I don't want to even accept that as an option right now. We want to try to push this through.'

Bessent: Some Trading Partners Could Get July 9 Extension on Tariffs
Some major U.S. trading partners may be given extensions on the July 9 deadline before the Trump administration imposes its steep, so-called reciprocal tariffs, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Friday. Others could see their tariffs increase on or around that day, he said. 'There will be a group of deals that we will land before July 9—on or about [that date],' Bessent said on CNBC. 'And then there are probably another 20 countries that could go back to the reciprocal tariff of April 2 as we work on the deal, or if we think they are negotiating in good faith, they could stay at the 10% baseline." Additionally, other 'smaller trading partners,' Bessent said, will simply receive letters outlining the level of tariffs that they will pay.
