Washington dropped the longstanding previous name, an outdated term for Native Americans that many viewed as racist, prior to the 2020 season.

The team was founded in 1932 in Boston, became known as the Redskins in 1933, and moved to Washington, D.C., in 1937. As the Redskins, the team began facing criticism from Indigenous groups starting in the 1960s.

Donald Trump weighed in on the Washington Commanders' name change this week, saying it 'doesn't have the same ring' as the former Washington Redskins moniker.

The Trump administration is stepping up pressure on trading partners to quickly make new deals before a Wednesday deadline, with plans for the United States to start sending letters Monday warning countries that higher tariffs could kick in Aug.

America is close to clinching several trade deals ahead of a July 9 deadline when higher tariffs were due to kick in, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said.
