Executive summary:

  • President Donald Trump will deliver two speeches this morning and then meet with Republican lawmakers at the White House to discuss a budget resolution to unlock the reconciliation process. 
  • Senate Republicans, cognizant that time is tight and a government funding deadline is rapidly approaching, appear set to pull the trigger first on a budget resolution.
  • At around 19:00 ET 00:00 GMT, the Senate will confirm Russell Vought to head the OMB, one of the most consequential Trump Cabinet officials. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) will obfuscate as much as possible but won’t have the votes to prevent Vought’s confirmation.
  • USTR nominee Jamieson Greer will appear before the Senate Finance Committee at 10:00 ET 15:00 GMT.
  • Thousands of federal workers have until midnight to accept a deferred resignation offer from the Trump administration. 
  • Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and Secretary of State Marco Rubio softened Trump’s suggestion that the US would take control of the Gaza Strip.
  • Iran may be positioning itself for negotiations with the Trump administration.
  • Trump's Ukraine and Russia envoy is expected to put forward his plan to end the war in Ukraine at next week’s Munich Security Conference.
