Mr. President, an ugly turn for Trump's big beautiful bill.

Musk blasts it as a disgusting abomination.

From CBS News headquarters in New York, this is the CBS Evening News.

Good evening, I'm Maurice Dubois. I'm John Dickerson.

The president, who prides himself on making deals is having trouble reaching any on tariffs with America's trading partners.

And he's facing a new obstacle now to another deal, getting Congress to pass his massive tax cut and spending bill, the one he calls the big beautiful bill.

Elon Musk, the president's friend, ally, and sometimes advisor, today posted another less

flattering description of the bill.

He called it a massive, outrageous, pork-filled, disgusting abomination.

And if that wasn't enough to get members to vote against it, Musk added, in November

next year, we fire all politicians who betrayed the American people.

Nancy Cordes is at the White House.

So, Nancy, let's start with the president's attempts to get tariff deals here.

Well, Maurice, the promise of 90 deals in 90 days has not materialized yet.

So in a bid to move things along, the U.S. trade rep is sending a letter to some trading partners,

urging them to make their best offers now before Trump's massive tariffs on dozens of countries

snap back into place next month.

The White House says Trump is likely to speak with China's president this week, but for

now, Trump's tariffs on Chinese goods stand at 30 percent.

Our back-to-school season really begins in mid-July.

When it comes to tariffs, this is one place the rubber meets the road, rackroom shoes in Alexandria,

Virginia. We're in this environment where prices are going to go up.
