🇺🇸No state has axed its income tax on wages in 45 years. Now 2 Southern states are on a path to do so

As of April 7, 2025, Mississippi and Kentucky are on track to potentially become the first U.S. states since 1980 to eliminate their personal income taxes on wages and salaries, provided their economies continue to grow.
This development follows a broader trend of tax cuts across states, fueled by strong revenue surpluses after the COVID-19 pandemic. Alaska was the last state to repeal its income tax in 1980, driven by substantial oil revenues. Mississippi’s plan aims for a complete phase-out by 2040 if cash reserves and revenue targets are met annually, while Kentucky has enacted policies that could eventually eliminate its income tax through revenue triggers.
These efforts reflect a shift toward reducing reliance on income taxes, though some analysts caution that this could increase dependence on regressive taxes like sales taxes, potentially impacting lower-income residents more heavily. Other states, such as Oklahoma and Missouri, are also exploring similar income tax reductions, but Mississippi and Kentucky are currently the furthest along.

For over 5 years, we have talked about how global trade would reset the monetary system along with exchange rates.
Now, we have 50 plus countries reaching out to discuss trade with President Trump. It should be evident by now that we are in the middle of a reset.
ARE YOU WATCHING THE WATER NOW?

A surprising decision.. Stop supplying travelers with dollars at the official price
{Local: Euphrates News} An informed source said on Sunday that the concerned authorities have stopped supplying travelers with the US dollar at the official price of 1320 dinars per dollar.
The source said to {Al-Furat News}, that: “It was decided to stop supplying travelers with dollars at the official price of {1320 dinars}.”
The source explained that “this step came as a result of the lack of sufficient quantities of currency from the competent authorities, amid increasing demands from exchange companies to provide the dollar continuously to meet the needs of travelers.”

"Vietnam has asked the United States to delay the April 9 implementation of sky-high tariffs announced last week in a test of how much President Trump is willing to haggle over his protectionist trade agenda."
The United States is pursuing critical mineral agreements with Vietnam alongside its broader tariff-related activities, based on recent developments as of April 6, 2025. The U.S. has been actively engaging with countries like Ukraine to secure access to critical minerals, which are vital for national security, technology, and economic competitiveness.
Historically, the U.S. and Vietnam have laid groundwork for cooperation in this area. In September 2023, during President Biden’s visit to Hanoi, the two countries elevated their relationship to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, which included a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to strengthen technical cooperation on critical mineral supply chains, particularly rare earth elements (REEs). This agreement aimed to quantify Vietnam’s REE resources, attract investment, and meet high environmental, social, and governance standards.
Vietnam is home to some of the world’s largest reserves of rare earth elements and other critical minerals, which are vital for high-tech industries like electronics, renewable energy, and defense.
An agreement with the US could boost Vietnam’s mining sector by attracting foreign investment, increasing export opportunities, and enhancing its role in global supply chains. This could lead to higher foreign exchange inflows, particularly in US dollars, as American companies invest in or purchase minerals from Vietnam. Increased export earnings and foreign direct investment (FDI) could strengthen Vietnam’s balance of payments, putting upward pressure on the VND’s value.

The United States is not going through its best economic moment, and let’s be honest, our currency has gone from leading the global economy to being in one of the most decisive moments in our history. Everything is changing, we know that, and so are other countries economically. It’s clear the world is moving toward a place we don’t yet know, and geopolitical tensions are making each country play its own cards. Eleven countries have announced they will stop using the dollar in 2025. We’re going to tell you everything we know about this practically global decision and whether we are facing the end of the dollar’s global reign.

"Trump tariffs: White House says 104% China tariffs take effect at midnight."
The White House's imposition of 104% tariffs on Chinese imports, effective as of April 9, 2025, is likely to have significant ripple effects on global currency values, though the exact impact depends on a variety of economic responses and countermeasures.
If China were to sell off a significant portion of its U.S. bonds (Treasury securities), it could indeed have ripple effects on global currency markets, potentially acting as a catalyst for other foreign currencies to rise in value relative to the U.S. dollar.

As of today, April 4, 2025, there is evidence that President Donald Trump has engaged in negotiations with Vietnam that touch on trade and, indirectly, the value of the Vietnamese dong (VND). On April 4, 2025, Trump posted on Truth Social about a phone call with Vietnamese leader To Lam, stating that Vietnam is willing to reduce tariffs on U.S. goods to zero if an agreement can be reached to avoid new U.S. tariffs, which include a 46% duty on Vietnamese imports announced earlier this week. This aligns with reports from Bloomberg and posts on X reflecting current sentiment.
While these discussions primarily focus on tariffs, the issue of Vietnam’s currency value has been a longstanding point of contention. During Trump’s first term, the U.S. Treasury labeled Vietnam a currency manipulator in December 2020, accusing it of intervening to keep the dong undervalued to boost exports. This led to negotiations, and by July 2021, an agreement was reached where Vietnam pledged to refrain from competitive devaluation, though it remains on a watchlist. The current tariff pressure—part of Trump’s broader reciprocal trade policy—could implicitly push Vietnam to adjust its currency practices, as a weaker dong exacerbates trade imbalances that Trump aims to address. For instance, the dong recently hit a record low of 25,535 per dollar in February 2025 amid tariff concerns, though it has slightly recovered this week.
However, there’s no explicit public statement from Trump in the last few days specifically demanding Vietnam raise the dong’s value as a direct negotiation goal. Instead, the focus appears to be on tariff elimination, with currency valuation likely a secondary leverage point. Vietnam’s central bank has historically managed the dong to maintain export competitiveness, and any revaluation would be a significant shift and possibly a concession Trump could seek if talks deepen. Posts on X speculate about revaluation following tariff cuts, but this remains unconfirmed by official sources as of now. Given Trump’s past emphasis on “currency manipulation” and trade deficits, it’s plausible he’s linking the two in private talks, but the primary narrative today centers on tariffs.
