From CNN's Alayna Treene

President Donald Trump spent much of yesterday huddled with his top trade advisers, with many friends and allies calling him up until the eleventh hour with ideas on how best to move forward with his tariff plan, sources familiar with the talks told CNN.

The plan will be unveiled in the Rose Garden, his first event in the White House space of his second term, and will include the pomp and circumstance the president expects to accompany an announcement of this magnitude, two White House officials told CNN.

The event was initially scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. ET, but was later moved to 4 p.m.ET, the two White House officials told CNN — notable given it will now kick off after markets close.

The announcement comes as top Trump administration officials struggle to articulate what the president’s endgame is. Trump officials, including White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Tuesday, have repeatedly urged the public to trust Trump and have pointed to the economy during his first term as justification.
