The Donald Trump administration is moving to significantly reshape the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program, aiming to restrict student loan cancellation for employees of organizations deemed to be engaged in &#8220;illegal activities.&#8221;
What Happened: A draft proposal from the U.S. Education Department, set to take effect in July 2026, outlines new criteria that could impact a vast array of public and non-profit employers, sparking concerns among advocates.
The core of the proposed overhaul targets organizations involved in activities such as &#8220;aiding or abetting&#8221; federal immigration law violations, supporting foreign terrorist organizations, or violating the Civil Rights Act of 1964, particularly regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies.
Most controversially, the draft includes &#8220;engaging in the chemical and surgical castration or mutilation of children,&#8221; defining this to include hormone therapy or puberty blockers for individuals under 19. This directly targets entities providing gender-affirming care to transgender youths.
Regarding these significant policy changes, the U.S. Department of Education did not respond to an email seeking commentary sent by Benzinga.
Critics, however, fear the changes grant the Education Secretary subjective authority, potentially allowing entire hospital systems, state governments, or universities to be deemed ineligible for political reasons.
Betsy Mayotte, president of the Institute of Student Loan Advisors, viewed the proposal as &#8220;politically motivated and perhaps will be used as a tool for political punishment,&#8221; as <a href="https://apnews.com/article/student-loan-forgiveness-public-service-trump-145f6a07a477e5c82f4374bc89e1eea7">reported</a> by the Associated Press.

Why It Matters: The PSLF program currently allows government employees, teachers, firefighters, and many non-profit workers to have their federal student loans canceled after 10 years of payments.
President Trump, who ordered these changes in March, stated the program had &#8220;misdirected tax dollars into activist organizations.&#8221;
Beyond the specific definitions, the proposal also requires employers to certify that they do not engage in illegal activities, raising further concerns about administrative hurdles.
This move could block large numbers of borrowers from receiving forgiveness, effectively forcing them into new jobs or facing continued debt.
The formal proposal will undergo a public comment period before finalization, with its implementation expected in July 2026.

Student Loan Forgiveness Faces New Restrictions Under Trump's PSLF Overhaul: Report

China&#8217;s exports to the United States have plunged over 43% year-over-year in May, representing a $15 billion drop in trade value, yet at the same time, China&#8217;s total exports have increased 4.8%, according to official figures, despite the trade and tariff-related turbulence.
What Happened: On Monday, in a post on X, The Kobeissi Letter shared the latest trade data coming in official Chinese sources, hinting at the rerouting of goods to circumvent the current U.S. trade and tariff regime.
The post notes that exports to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) rose 15% year-over-year during the month, while shipments to the European Union climbed 12%. Meanwhile, there was a 30% spike in Chinese exports routed through Vietnam, and a similar 25% increase via Indonesia.

These figures have since fueled speculations that China is shifting its trade strategy, rerouting exports through regional partners to maintain global market access while reducing direct exposure to U.S. tariffs.
This comes amid growing efforts made by the U.S. Government to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46241070/trumps-vietnam-trade-deal-with-40-tax-on-transshipments-may-result-in-chinese-backlash-say-economists-they-want-inflation">close potential backdoors</a> for Chinese goods. The recent trade deal with Vietnam, which involved a 40% tariff on rerouted goods, is largely aimed at the same, and is thus being seen as a &#8220;proxy trade war&#8221; with China.

The U.S. has also been urging Vietnam to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/06/45949304/us-pressures-vietnam-to-cut-chinese-tech-dependency-amid-tariff-talks-report">reduce its reliance</a> on Chinese technologies that are used in the production of goods that are later exported. 
Experts have long viewed tariffs as an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/06/45869934/mpcc-co-ceo-on-container-feeder-market-trade-disruptions-and-growth-opportunities">opportunity for rerouting</a> and transshipment, rather than a threat. &#8220;During 2018-19 when similar tariffs were put into effect, cargo was rerouted through Southeast Asia, Mexico and Europe, and a similar pattern is emerging now,&#8221; says Moritz Fuhrmann, the Co-CEO of MPC Container Ships ASA (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPZZF#OTC">MPZZF</a>).

Bill Ackman Bets Over 60% Of Pershing Square's Portfolio In These 4 Stocks: UBER, HHH And More

Chinese officials have reportedly cooled on&nbsp;Elon Musk, the CEO of&nbsp;Tesla Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), as a potential geopolitical asset due to his public fallout with President&nbsp;Donald Trump.
What Happened: In January, Chinese Vice President Han Zheng met with Musk in Washington, expressing Beijing&#8217;s hope that Musk would play a constructive role in U.S.-China relations, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/tesla-china-elon-musk-0f38940e?st=3kgiF7&amp;reflink=article_copyURL_share">according</a> to The Wall Street Journal. However, Musk&#8217;s response was reportedly lukewarm and due to his now strained relationship with Trump, Beijing no longer sees Musk as a valuable &#8220;geopolitical asset&#8221; and is unlikely to publicly engage with him.
One of the sources, who consults with Chinese officials, stated, &#8220;Tesla remains important for China&#8230;but&nbsp;for authorities, helping domestic companies&nbsp;still matters more.&#8221; This is a significant setback for Musk, who has been focusing on Tesla&#8217;s operations in China, its second-largest market by revenue.
Nevertheless, China remains important for Tesla, especially as its sales in the U.S. and Europe have declined, partly due to Musk&#8217;s past ties with Trump. China also serves as a crucial testing hub for technologies such as Full Self-Driving (FSD) and autonomous taxis, which are among Musk&#8217;s top priorities.

Why It Matters: Musk&#8217;s relationship with China is crucial for Tesla&#8217;s future. Despite the recent cooling of Musk&#8217;s geopolitical value, Tesla&#8217;s sales in China have seen a rise. In June, Tesla saw a&nbsp;3.7% year-over-year <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46239731/elon-musks-tesla-sales-surge-3-7-in-china-as-other-markets-cool">increase in sales&nbsp;</a>in the Chinese domestic market, amid declining sales in other markets. 
However, Tesla continues to face stiff competition from local rivals like&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46215206/tesla-rival-byd-reports-2025s-best-selling-month-in-june-amid-exports-surge">BYD</a> (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDFF#OTC">BYDFF</a>), which reported its best sales performance of 2025 in June.
Despite this, Musk has found an unlikely source of support in Chinese netizens. Amid his feud with Trump, Chinese social media users have been&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/07/46252278/after-trump-warns-elon-musk-to-close-up-shop-china-rallies-behind-worlds-richest-man-theres-no-need">rallying behind Musk</a>, hailing his stance against Trump. However, the recent cooling of Musk&#8217;s geopolitical value in China could pose a significant challenge for Tesla&#8217;s future in the country.

Tesla China Sales Plunge Over 75% In First Week Of July Despite Strong Q2 Deliveries

Donald Trump's much-touted plan to sell $5 million "gold card" visas to the ultra-wealthy may never leave the runway, immigration lawyers and policy analysts say.
What Happened: The proposal would create a brand-new residency class for investors willing to wire in billions, but experts note a president cannot invent a visa on his own, according to a <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/07/07/trump-gold-card-visa-immigration/">report</a> by The Washington Post. Only Congress can add categories to the Immigration and Nationality Act.
Since February, Trump has waved a laminated prototype at reporters, promised an "immediate rollout," and opened a TrumpCard.gov wait list that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says has attracted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/06/45967070/howard-lutnick-says-nearly-70000-register-for-5-million-trump-card-visa-as-us-eyes-1-trillion-windfall-from-premium-immigration-plan">nearly 70,000 names</a>. The White House claims the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44237846/trump-proposes-special-a-gold-card-for-wealthy-immigrants-that-costs-5-million-says-selling-enough-could-wipe-out-americas-national-debt">fees could wipe out</a> the $1.3 trillion annual deficit and, eventually, the entire national debt.
But no bill has surfaced on Capitol Hill, and Republican leaders who are already skeptical of expanded immigration paths show "zero appetite" for the idea, said Alex Nowrasteh of the Cato Institute.

Why It Matters: Supreme Court precedent gives Congress "plenary power" over visas, former DHS counsel George Fishman noted. "I'm very dubious it can be done without an act of Congress."
Critics also warn of lawsuits from would-be EB-5 investors, who now wait years after putting in at least $800,000. Former USCIS adviser Doug Rand said opponents will almost certainly challenge any fast-lane plan for newcomers and almost certainly defeat it.
Billionaire Trump donor John Paulson originally proposed the concept as a debt reduction mechanism for America's $36 trillion burden. The program represents a significant shift in targeting high-net-worth individuals. Billionaire Mark Cuban previously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44070799/mark-cuban-supports-trumps-new-gold-card-scheme-if-sold-to-corporations-for-employee-citizenship-have-a-look-at-the-listed-companies-with-most-number-of-immigrants">supported the concept</a> provided corporations buy cards for high-earning employees, while Elon <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44519944/elons-building-me-the-software-right-now-commerce-secretary-howard-lutnick-says-he-sold-1k-trump-cards-for-5m-each-in-one-day">Musk was involved</a> in developing the application software.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis says Elon Musk should drop his plan for a new "America Party" and instead use his money and clout to force fiscal reforms inside the GOP.
What Happened: "I think Washington needs to be overhauled 100%, but I just don't think a third party is going to do it," DeSantis <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/07/07/trump-musk-feud-desantis-advice-00441519">told</a> reporters after an education event on Monday, according to Politico.
DeSantis, who launched his own 2024 presidential bid in a glitch-filled event with Musk, warned that a third-party candidate would likely result in the Democrats winning all the competitive Senate and House races. &#8220;I'm a Republican. I don't want to see that happen," he said.
He urged Musk to fund state drives for a balanced-budget amendment and congressional term limits, saying the billionaire could have a "monumental impact" by persuading at least 34 legislatures to convene a constitutional convention.

Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46265725/elon-musk-announces-formation-of-america-party-emerges-in-wake-of-donald-trumps-historic-spending-bill">unveiled the America Party</a> over the weekend after breaking with President Donald Trump over the mammoth "One Big Beautiful Bill," a tax-and-spending package the Tesla chief calls wasteful. He argues the bill will deepen the deficit and has vowed to bankroll primary challenges against Republicans who backed it.
Why It Matters: DeSantis has neither praised nor condemned the megabill, despite some GOP governors lobbying for its passage. Earlier, he objected to the proposed moratorium on state AI regulations, and negotiators removed it from the final text.
Still, he echoed Musk's complaint that many Republicans "run saying there's out-of-control spending … and they never do it." The governor's counsel comes amid his own fragile reconciliation with Trump after last year's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36710200/trump-drops-desanctimonious-nickname-for-ron-desantis-after-florida-governor-exits-2024-presidential">bruising primary feud</a>.
While analysts believe that the Musk-Trump rift and Musk's new party could split the right, DeSantis says structural fixes will rein in Washington. "You have to change the incentives and structures up there. It's within our grasp to do it," he says.

Ron DeSantis Warns Elon Musk The 'America Party' Could Hand Congress To Democrats: 'Don't Want To See That Happen'

On Monday, Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) co-founder Joe Lonsdale urged a tech-driven transformation of the Food and Drug Administration, warning that bureaucratic inertia is putting the U.S. behind <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/03/44107297/china-based-biotech-beigene-scores-fda-approval-for-tevimbra-chemo-combo-for-untreated-patients-with-esophageal-cancer">China in the biotech race</a>.
What Happened: In a blog post, Lonsdale said the FDA's current systems are "sluggish" and outdated, slowing drug approvals and hampering innovation.
To counter this, he announced that the Abundance Institute, in partnership with Stand Together, is raising $4 million to embed 15–20 AI-native engineers, data scientists and product leaders inside the FDA under the Intergovernmental Personnel Act.
"These leaders will remain Abundance employees," Lonsdale said, "but&#8230; wire modern data pipes into legacy silos and automate the mind-numbing paperwork that turns months into years."

He compared the effort to special forces units in the military, saying innovation in the defense world happens because nimble, elite special forces teams try key new technology long before adoption by larger forces takes place.
Lonsdale warned the U.S. risks losing global biotech leadership to China, which "is plowing ahead with CRISPR gene therapies and advanced cell therapies," due to fewer regulatory constraints.
"If we let that gap widen," he said, "we will wake up one morning and discover that most of our children's drugs are made in, and controlled by, China."
"Let's boldly push through narrower AI wins that save lives, then expand upon those wins," he concluded, adding, "Let's make the FDA great again."

Why It's Important: Last month, the U.S. FDA launched the Commissioner&#8217;s National Priority Voucher (CNPV) program to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/fda/25/06/45982666/fda-introduces-tumor-board-style-reviews-for-faster-drug-decisions">help drug developers</a> fast-track new treatments that align with U.S. national priorities.
The voucher lets companies cut FDA review times from the usual 10–12 months to just 1–2 months by using a new team-based, "tumor board-style" review process with multidisciplinary experts.
The program allows for possible accelerated approval if the product meets requirements.
During the same month, the FDA said it is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/fda/25/06/46101643/did-the-fda-make-a-mistake-sareptas-elevidys-approval-under-scrutiny">investigating reports</a> of fatal acute liver failure linked to Sarepta Therapeutics' (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SRPT#NASDAQ">SRPT</a>) gene therapy Elevidys, used to treat Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy in non-ambulatory boys.

Palantir Co-Founder Joe Lonsdale Wants A FDA Overhaul With Special Forces-Style AI Team Because China Is Racing To Outpace US In Biotech

A donor to the Trump-Vance Inaugural Committee was reportedly defrauded of $250,300 in cryptocurrency. The FBI has recovered $40,300 of the stolen amount, which is now involved in a civil forfeiture case.
What Happened:&nbsp;The victim received an email on Christmas Eve 2024, which appeared to be from Steve Witkoff, co-chair of the Trump-Vance Inaugural Committee. Believing it to be legitimate, the victim transferred 250,300 USDT.ETH—a dollar-pegged stablecoin on the Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) blockchain—to a cryptocurrency wallet controlled by a scammer later traced to Nigeria.
The funds were reportedly laundered within just two hours through multiple wallets, complicating recovery efforts. However, despite the intricate nature of the blockchain transactions, the FBI&#8217;s Washington Field Office managed to trace and recover $40,300 of the stolen cryptocurrency using advanced blockchain analysis.
U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro&#8216;s office has filed a civil forfeiture complaint seeking to recover the remaining $210,000. The filing underscores the critical need to verify recipient information before initiating transfers—particularly as cryptocurrency plays a growing role in political fundraising and charitable donations.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;The incident highlights the changing strategies of cybercriminals and the critical need for caution when managing digital assets. This comes in the wake of the U.S. Department of Justice filing&nbsp;a civil forfeiture complaint to&nbsp;claim over $225 million in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/46002825/us-seizes-225-million-in-cryptocurrency-tied-to-global-investment-fraud-network">cryptocurrency&nbsp;allegedly</a> connected to international investment fraud schemes. This marked the largest crypto seizure to date involving so-called &#8220;confidence scams.&#8221;
Additionally, crypto hacks and exploits have surged to record levels in the first half of 2025, with total losses exceeding $2.1 billion across at least 75 incidents, according to blockchain intelligence firm TRM Labs. The largest single event was the $1.5 billion hack of Dubai-based crypto exchange Bybit in February, which TRM Labs attributes <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/46140769/north-korean-hackers-top-crypto-exploits-list-but-another-state-may-surprise-you">to North Korea</a>. This highlights the increasing need for vigilance and security in the cryptocurrency space.

Trump Inaugural Donor Loses $250,000 In Crypto Scam By Steve Witkoff Impersonator, FBI Recovers Over $40,000

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed a decline in the overall market sentiment, while the index remained in the &#8220;Extreme Greed&#8221; zone on Monday.
U.S. stocks settled lower on Monday, with the Dow Jones index falling more than 400 points during the session after President Donald Trump officially announced sweeping 25% tariffs on all imports from Japan and South Korea, starting Aug. 1. The new tariffs apply to all goods from the two Asian economies and are in addition to any existing sector-specific duties.
Cogent Biosciences Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COGT#NASDAQ">COGT</a>) announced topline results from Part 2 of the SUMMIT trial of bezuclastinib for non-advanced systemic mastocytosis, showing clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvements across the primary and all key secondary endpoints. Core Scientific Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CORZ#NASDAQ">CORZ</a>) shares fell around 18% on Monday after CoreWeave announced plans to acquire the company in an all-stock deal.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a negative note, with consumer discretionary, materials and energy stocks recording the biggest losses on Monday. However, consumer staples and utilities stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session higher.
The Dow Jones closed lower by 422 points to 44,406.36 on Monday. The S&amp;P 500 fell 0.79% to 6,229.98, while the Nasdaq Composite dipped 0.92% to 20,412.52 during Monday's session.
Investors are awaiting earnings results from Penguin Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PENG#NASDAQ">PENG</a>), Saratoga Investment Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAR#NYSE">SAR</a>) and Kura Sushi USA Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRUS#NASDAQ">KRUS</a>) today.
What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
At a current reading of 75.1, the index remained in the &#8220;Extreme Greed&#8221; zone on Monday, versus a prior reading of 78.5.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.
