Executive summary:

  • President Donald Trump has a light official schedule today. He is expected to speak with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to discuss the partial ceasefire agreement.
  • VP JD Vance has been appointed finance chair of the RNC – an unprecedented role for a VP as he positions himself to succeed Trump.
  • Trump has suffered a trio of foreign policy setbacks: His call with Russian President Vladimir failed to deliver a concrete commitment to a ceasefire; the Gaza ceasefire appears in tatters; and a Blackrock-led deal to buy Panama Canal ports appears at risk. More positively, the wholesale price of eggs is roughly half what it was last month.
  • Trump said he would never defy the courts, amid criticism of the judiciary from Trump, Elon Musk, and other White House officials. 
  • Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the administration will consider "nontariff barriers, currency manipulation, unfair funding, [and] labor suppression" when calculating a country's new tariff rate.
  • Trump stoked more uncertainty for corporate America by firing two Democrat members of the FTC.
  • Speaker Johnson (R-LA) and Senate Leader Thune (R-SD) are eying the week of April 7 for a compromise budget resolution.
  • Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff said the first round of Ukraine ceasefire talks will take place in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, as Kyiv and Moscow accuse each other of violating an energy infrastructure truce.
  • Poll of the Day:Trump's approval rating continues to slide.
