The sons of President Trump and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stand to see a big windfall after businesses tied to the families helped secure a $1.6 billion mining deal in Kazakhstan, according to a new report.

After Trump and Lutnick closed a deal for an American company called Kaz Resources to mine one of the world’s largest untapped reserves of tungsten last November, records indicate that firms tied to their sons saw financial gain from the contract, the New York Times reported.

Dominari Securities — which is housed at Trump Tower in New York and partly owned by the president’s two eldest sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump — had joined other investors to take a 20% stake in a company related to the project.

The White House mocked Joe Biden's criticism of President Trump's building projects with a quippy message it blasted across social media.

The former president, speaking at an event in Maryland, derided Trump's plans for a ceremonial arch and his work on the reflecting pool, saying: "Whoa, what a loser."

White House spokesman Davis Ingle responded via USA Today, saying: "Joe Biden's brain is mashed potatoes. We wish him and his family well during this difficult time."

President Trump warned Monday that "security is watching" over dozens of DC monuments ahead of the Fourth of July — as he revealed plans to drain the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool for repairs after the country's 250th anniversary celebration.

"After July 4th, we will release the water, fix the damage done to the very expensive waterproof matting, with the use of sharp knives and muscle, including the 350 foot gash along its right side, and have it looking as good as it was two weeks ago, when it was absolutely PERFECT!" Trump wrote on Truth Social.

"This will all happen very quickly. Security is watching very carefully for the almost 70 other Monuments, Statues, and Fountains that we renovated throughout Washington, D.C. If anyone attacks any of them, they get as much as 10 years in jail."

Trump wrote that "Vandals and Radical Left SCUM that hate our Country" damaged the massive pool after the recent installation of a blue liner, though other theories offered by experts include improper installation of the material resulting in rips and poor adhesion.

President Trump expressed hope that the Supreme Court would strike down automatic birthright citizenship when it releases its decision in the case on Tuesday.

"I think it's very bad for our nation. We're the only nation that does it. No other nation does that birthright citizenship, no, not even close. Some did it, they ended it. It's tremendously destructive, it's extremely costly," Trump said in the Oval Office.

"It's up to them, but in terms of for the good of the country, it'd be great if they didn't allow it, it would be great, but I can't tell you."

Trump also said "I guess I have to accept [the outcome], it's the Supreme Court."

President Trump said Monday that he considers legislation other than the SAVE America Act to be "a big yawn" — as he continued to withhold his signature from bipartisan measures to increase pressure to pass the bundle of election reforms.

"Compared to the Save America Act, just about everything is a big yawn," Trump said in the Oval Office as he ripped Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) as "Trump deranged" and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) as "very disloyal to John Thune," the Senate majority leader.

The election legislation would impose new national restrictions on the use of mail-in ballots and would establish a national ID mandate to vote.

In an effort to coerce more support, Trump said he would withhold his signature from a bill reauthorizing Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and from a bipartisan housing bill that passed last week.

Presidents Trump signed a memorandum Monday ordering EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin to support Americans' right to fix their own cars — with the document also kicking off un effort to break up a California regulator's alleged monopoly on certification of aftermarket parts.

The issue "came to my attention because they noticed they were arresting people for fixing their car," Trump said in the Oval Office before signing the document, the full text of which was not immediately made public.

"We rule by common sense to a large extent. Can you imagine that? They want to put you in jail if you fix your car."

Zeldin, who joined Trump, said that the memo will "put an end" to the California Air Resources Board (CARB) controlling what after-market parts can be legally sold to comply with federal environmental regulations.

"We're going to break that monopoly, and no longer will CARB be the only third-party certified for these aftermarket parts," Zeldin said. "President Trump is insisting on fixing it. This presidential memo does that."

President Trump cheered the Supreme Court's decision to uphold his firing of a Federal Trade Commission official on Monday, declaring it "the Greatest Increase in Presidential Power in the last 100 years."

"Such a Monumental Ruling at such an important time!" Trump boasted on his Truth Social.

The high court ruled that the president had acted lawfully in sacking FTC commissioner Rebecca Slaughter last year.

US Special Envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will meet Tuesday in Doha with Qatari leaders who will facilitate peace talks with Iranian officials, as President Trump suggested the importance of the summit hinged on Tehran's willingness to engage with mediators.

“[They] will meet on Tuesday in Doha with the Qatari prime minister and other officials in order to discuss the negotiations with Iran,” a diplomat with knowledge of the talks told The Post.

“The following day, technical teams from both the US and Iran will meet separately with mediators from Qatar and Pakistan.”

Trump on Monday said the Doha meeting “is going to be perhaps important, perhaps not.”

“We’re going to find out, but we’re winning militarily,” he added, saying Iran had requested talks in the mediator country.

President Trump said that the upcoming US-Iran talks this week in Qatar would be "perhaps important, perhaps not" amid continued tensions over the Strait of Hormuz.

"Oil prices are way down. We hit $69 today. It was higher than that prior to the denuclearization of Iran fight that we have, which we're doing very well. There'll be a meeting on that tomorrow in Doha, and going to Qatar," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.

"We'll see how that goes. But we're doing very well on that front. But the meeting in Doha is going to be perhaps important, perhaps not. We'll find out, but we're winning militarily. It's almost won military, I would say, and it's really very simple. It's the denuclearization of Iran. We don't want them to have a nuclear weapon, and they're not going to have a nuclear weapon, and we agreed to that."

Special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner are traveling to Qatar for the talks.
