Trump admin updates: Trump says tariff letters to be sent to 'various countries' on Monday

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and other Democratic leaders gathered on the Capitol steps to declare their caucus will vote no on the Republican bill to fund much of President Trump's agenda.

"Every single House Democrat will vote hell no against this one big ugly bill," Jeffries said as he railed against the bill's projected impact on Medicaid, SNAP and more.

"And all we need are four House Republicans to join us in defense of their constituents, who will suffer mightily from this bill," the New York lawmaker added.

If all members are voting and present, House Speaker Mike Johnson can only afford to lose three Republican votes.

President Trump announced that he made a "Trade Deal" with Vietnam, though he provided no further details, in a social media post on Wednesday.

"I just made a Trade Deal with Vietnam. Details to follow!" Trump wrote.

Vietnam is one of America's critical trading partners. According to data from the U.S. Trade Representative, the U.S. imported $136.6 billion in goods from Vietnam in 2024 and had a trade deficit of $123.5 billion with the Southeast Asian nation in 2024.

The announcement came just one week away from the end of the pause on hefty reciprocal tariffs that Trump slapped on almost all of America's trading partners. On Tuesday, Trump said that he thought India would be the next country to reach a trade deal with the U.S.

Several House Republicans arrived at the White House on Wednesday morning for meetings as the President Trump ramped up the pressure on his party to pass his massive tax and spending bill.

Some of the lawmakers spotted entering the White House included Reps. Jeff Van Drew, Rob Bresnahan, Dusty Johnson, Dan Newhouse, Mike Lawler and Andrew Garbarino. Those lawmakers are part of the Main Street Caucus -- a group of lawmakers who bill themselves as "pragmatic" conservatives focused on getting things done.

Vice President Vance was spotted entering as well.

An administration official told ABC News the White House is hosting multiple meetings today with Republicans on the White House complex. The president is expected to engage directly with members throughout the day.

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise cast some doubt on the possibility that Republicans will succeed on Wednesday in passing President Trump's sweeping tax cut and spending bill.

"We'll see some time later today if we can get that done," Scalise told reporters. "So we still have some more conversations with members. Obviously, members have gone through the changes that the Senate made, and you know, some of them take us a little bit backwards. Some of them are a little bit better."

Asked by ABC News whether he feels like Republicans are short of the votes needed for passage, Scalise acknowledged the bumpy road both in the past and ahead.

"We've still had a lot of members that had questions about the changes that the Senate made. That's to be expected," the Louisiana lawmaker said.

Scalise added that the Senate's changes still reflect "85%" of the House's original bill, though he acknowledged House Republicans "would like to do more."

GOP leadership is meeting with small groups of members who haven't locked in their support, Scalise said, and the president is also helping on that today by talking to individual members as the party's "best closer."
