From CNN staff
It’s a busy day in Washington, DC, today, with President Donald Trump expected to announce a 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum imports on Monday, followed by more tariffs later in the week.
The president is also scheduled to sign more executive orders today at 1 p.m. ET.
Here’s what else is going on:
- Vice President JD Vance is in Paris for the AI Action Summit. This marks his first international trip as vice president. Vance will also attend the Munich Security Conference in Germany later this week.
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will also embark on his first overseas trip as the head of the Pentagon this week. He will visit Germany, Belgium, and Poland for meetings with Allied leaders.
- At 2 p.m. ET, a federal judge will hold a motion hearing in a lawsuit challenging the so-called “Fork in the Road” plan put forward by Elon Musk and his allies. A federal judge paused last week’s deadline for federal employees to accept the Trump administration’s deferred resignation offer while legal proceedings continue. An email sent Thursday evening notified employees of the court order and extended deadline to Monday.
- At 3 p.m. ET, the Senate will resume its consideration of Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination as Director of National Intelligence. Later in the evening, they are expected to take a procedural vote to set up a final confirmation vote as early as Tuesday evening.
- A federal judge in Washington, DC, will hear a motion from a nonprofit physician group at 3 p.m. ET, seeking a temporary restraining order in their lawsuit against the Office of Personnel Management, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration and the Department of Health & Human Services over the removal of health data and other information from public government websites.
