Office in Green Bay listed as ‘possible target' for ‘lease elimination' by Department of Government Efficiency
GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – An office space for the Social Security Administration in Green Bay is reportedly being 'recommended' for lease termination by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
The DOGE is a 'temporary contracted organization' that President Donald Trump initiated to cut down on government spending. President Trump also appointed Elon Musk to be in charge of the Department.

The official DOGE Government website's savings tab lists numerous locations under its 'Real Estate' table, identifying the agency, location, square footage and value of a building; however, the actual addresses aren't listed.
One of the many agencies listed is a Social Security Administration office in Green Bay.
The DOGE website does not clarify the address of the Green Bay agency building; however, the only listed Social Security Office in Green Bay, according to the Social Security Administration website, is located at 1561 Dousman Street.
Clicking on the DOGE website's listing brings up the following:
The listing says that it would be a true termination for consolidation, and could save roughly $131,145, assuming it is a 5-year continuation of the lease.

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Madison (agency closed office)
Department of Defense: Milwaukee (move to federal space)

Donald Trump confirms US-China deal done, says rare earth deal and 55% tariffs finalised
Donald Trump touts 55% tariffs and rare earth supply in pending China deal By News Desk Published on June 11, 2025, 17:56 IST Last updated June 11, 2025, 17:57 IST Former U.S. President Donald J. Trump on Tuesday announced via social media that a new deal with China has been reached, pending final approval from both himself and Chinese President Xi Jinping. According to Trump, the agreement includes upfront Chinese supply of 'full magnets' and 'any necessary rare earths' to the U.S. In return, the U.S. will uphold previously agreed terms, which Trump said include allowing Chinese students to continue studying at American colleges and universities — a relationship he described as 'always been good with me!' Trump emphasized that under the new deal, the U.S. will receive a combined total of 55% in tariffs, while China will get 10%. 'Relationship is excellent!' Trump declared in the post, adding thanks for attention to the matter.

U.S. President Trump says he has no hard feelings for Musk, leaves door open for reconciliation
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on June 11, 2025, 17:40 IST U.S. President Donald Trump has downplayed recent tensions with Elon Musk, saying he holds 'no hard feelings' despite their very public feud over the past week. His comments come shortly after Musk posted on X, formerly Twitter, that he 'regrets some of [his] posts' about Trump, admitting, 'They went too far.' In an interview addressing the ongoing spat, Trump said he was surprised by Musk's criticism of the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act,' which the President described as 'phenomenal' and 'the best thing we signed in the country.' 'When he did that, I was not a happy camper,' Trump said, adding, 'I don't know what his problem is… I haven't thought too much about him in the last little while.' Despite the fallout, Trump appeared to extend an olive branch, stating, 'I think he feels very badly he said [those things]… I was disappointed in him, but it is what happens. I don't blame him for anything.' When asked about the possibility of reconciling with Musk, Trump replied, 'I guess I could, but we have to straighten out the country.' This marks a potential cooling in tensions that had escalated sharply in recent days. Musk had accused Trump of suppressing the Epstein files and labeled the tax proposal a 'pork-filled abomination,' prompting Trump to suggest pulling federal contracts from Musk-led ventures. Musk responded by threatening to halt NASA-related SpaceX missions and hinted that Trump owed his 2024 victory to Musk's influence. As of now, no direct meeting has taken place, but Musk's heart emoji response to Trump's earlier 'wish him well' remark has kept speculation alive about an eventual reconciliation between the two powerhouses.

Watch live: Bessent testifies before House on Treasury priorities
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will testify before the House Ways and Means Committee on Wednesday morning amid trade negotiations following President Trump's sweeping tariffs. The hearing comes after Trump announced early Wednesday that the U.S. and China have reached an agreement that would lower tariffs on U.S. goods to 10 percent and level tariffs of 55 percent on Chinese goods. Under the pending deal, China would also supply full magnets and 'necessary' rare earth minerals 'up front.' In exchange, the U.S. will open universities and colleges up to the nation's international students, according to his post on Truth Social. It also follows a federal appeals court ruling Tuesday that allows the Trump administration's tariffs to remain in effect for now, extending a previous pause after a separate court ruled the import taxes were illegal. The Treasury chief will also testify before the Senate later Wednesday. The House event is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EDT. Watch the live video above.
