<h1>US stocks fall as administration pressures trading partners ahead of Wednesday tariff deadline</h1> US stocks declined Monday as the administration increased pressure on trading partners before a Wednesday tariff deadline. The S&P 500 fell 0.5 percent, Dow dropped 217 points, and Nasdaq declined 0.6 percent. The electric vehicle company's stock tumbled 6.9 percent amid renewed tensions between its CEO and the President. The administration plans to send letters to foreign governments detailing tariff rates if no deals are reached, with an additional 10 percent tariff threatened against BRICS nations. A Vietnam trade deal serves as a potential blueprint for similar agreements.
