Trump to lay out domestic and foreign policy agenda in address to Congress
LIVE UPDATES
• Trump’s tariffs: President Donald Trump plans to “lean into” tariffs during his speech to Congress tonight, a senior adviser says. Trump enacted 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada, saying the two major US trading partners had “no room” left to negotiate to avoid the levies. He also doubled the tariff on Chinese goods to 20%.
• Ukraine aid pause: Trump ordered a pause on military aid to Ukraine following a Friday Oval Office argument with President Volodymyr Zelensky, a White House official told CNN. The reverberations from that decision are being felt around the world on Tuesday.
• Later tonight: Trump will deliver his first address to Congress since retaking the White House, and he is expected to make the case for his sweeping domestic and foreign policy plans. You can watch CNN’s special coverage of the speech in the video player above this page starting at 8 p.m. ET.
• A time of upheaval: Trump’s speech comes as his new administration faces conflicts in Europe and the Middle East and economic concerns at home, all while pushing forward with massive changes to the federal government and implementing a slew of executive orders.
President Donald Trump threatened to revoke federal funding from any college, school or university that permits “illegal protests” and stated “agitators” will either be imprisoned or deported.
In a Truth Social post on Tuesday, Trump wrote:
“All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or depending on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
The president also implied a prohibition on face coverings during protests, which some states already have imposed.
However, Trump’s ability to enforce these threats — such as imprisonment, deportation and a ban on masks — is limited, as most of these actions fall outside the scope of federal law.
What this is about: Trump’s post comes days after a group of pro-Palestinian student protesters took a Barnard College building in New York City. Videos online showed the protesters, wearing masks and dressed in keffiyeh scarves, staging a sit-in outside the office of the school’s dean.
The Trump administration also said on Monday it will review Columbia University’s federal contracts and grants over allegations of antisemitism, which it says the educational institution has shown inaction in tackling, as reported by CNN.
Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Tuesday morning that she would announce retaliatory tariffs on American imports into Mexico, as well as non-tariff measures, on Sunday.
Sheinbaum said she would probably have a call with US President Donald Trump on Thursday.
“The unilateral decision made by the United States affects national and foreign companies operating in our country, as well as our people,” she said at a news conference in Mexico City.
The Mexican president also slammed a White House statement on the tariffs as “offensive and defamatory.”
“Last night, the White House published an offensive and defamatory statement without substance about the Mexican government that we categorically deny and condemn,” Sheinbaum said.
Some background: Trump on Monday said that 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada will go forward as planned on Tuesday, saying the two major US trading partners had “no room” left to negotiate to avoid the levies.
Trump said he was using tariffs to “punish” countries that, as he put it, were taking from the US economy without giving enough in return.
This post has been updated with additional reporting on Mexico’s pending retaliatory tariffs.
People across Ukraine have awoken today to the news that US President Donald Trump has decided to withhold military aid. While some are questioning how the move will impact their livelihoods, others are skeptical about how much it might change the course of the war.
According to several officials, Trump and his senior aides are seeking an acknowledgement from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky before moving ahead with a deal on Ukraine’s rare earth minerals, or a discussion on continuing foreign aid.
Here’s how some Ukrainians, who decided not to reveal their full names due to security concerns, are responding:
Max, a 22-year-old math teacher said he felt “astonished” by the decision.
“We are fighting for democracy. And this country, the USA, was created as the idea of democracy. And right now they are telling us that, “well, we will not give you weapons because, you’re doing not what we wanted you to do.” Like, excuse me, we are doing exactly what you wanted from us. We are fighting for democracy,” he told CNN.
Olena, a 32-year-old businesswoman who was walking with her husband and young son said she thought Trump’s decision was “very much expected,” adding that “America has not been entirely friendly over the past 30 years.”
“We will hold on. We stayed here three years ago, and we are staying here now. We’ll see,” she said.
One man, Maksym, who serves in the Ukrainian military and was walking with his daughter said he felt “disappointed in our partners.” “They promise to help us but then find new reasons not to.”
The last time President Donald Trump climbed the rostrum in the House chamber to deliver an address to Congress, he arrived freshly impeached, a mysterious new virus was beginning to spread and Democrats had just begun the process of nominating his challenger.
Five years later, the political landscape has shifted dramatically.
Since taking office a second time, Trump has overseen a dramatic reshaping of the federal government, much of it at the hand of his top adviser Elon Musk, and Republicans are in full control of Congress. He has upended the geopolitical order and shaken US alliances as he pursues a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine — a topic he said Monday he’d address in the speech.
But four months after becoming the first Republican in two decades to win the popular vote, Trump faces a new reality of needing to tackle some of the most stubborn challenges awaiting any new president and deliver on his campaign promises to lower prices.
Trump’s advisers are acutely aware how quickly political winds can shift in Washington and have made speed their priority in pushing his agenda. Trump himself has taken a lesson from his first term not to wait for the right moment to execute on his promises. Instead, he signs executive orders almost every day, sometimes deciding only in the minutes beforehand which to put his signature on.
His speech to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night will act as an extension — and explanation — of the whiplash-inducing 43 days of his new term. He will also face his biggest audience yet to spell out demands for Republicans to turn his agenda into law, the outcome of which will ultimately shape the success of his presidency.
Here’s more of what to expect from Trump’s speech.
Donald Trump just took the biggest gamble of his young second presidency.
His hammer-blow 25% tariffs against Canada and Mexico that hit at midnight dealt a fresh shock to an economy showing alarming signs of slowing growth and rising inflation – a perilous mix for any president.
Trump also doubled an additional tariff on all Chinese imports to 20%, in a trio of decisions that sent stocks – a cherished metric of his own performance – tumbling. The timing was inauspicious, before Trump makes a joint address to Congress Tuesday evening that will be watched by a nation nervous about stubbornly high housing and grocery prices. But to the narrower audience of his most faithful supporters, who show no sign of peeling away, Trump is likely to bill his new trade wars as proof of resolve and commitment to his populist promises.
Trump’s decision to press the button, after previously delaying the duties on US neighbors a month ago, reflects a duel between his political heart and his head.
The often-volatile president has seen tariffs as an almost supernatural economic tool since his deals as a real estate mogul in the rip-roaring 1980s. Alongside immigration, the conceit that foreign nations are constantly ripping America off forms the foundation of his political career.
“It’s going to be very costly for people to take advantage of this country. They can’t come in and steal our money and steal our jobs and take our factories and take our businesses and expect not to be punished,” Trump said Monday. “And they’re being punished by tariffs. It’s a very powerful weapon that politicians haven’t used because they were either dishonest, stupid, or paid off in some other form.”

Jason Miller, senior adviser to President Donald Trump, said the president plans to “lean into” tariffs during his speech to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night.
”I would say that he’s going to lean into it, and he’s going to talk about how increasing tariffs can actually go and close the trade deficits, which January, we saw a record trade deficit, particularly when it comes to countries such as Canada, Mexico, China,” Miller said when asked by CNN’s Audie Cornish if Trump would have to acknowledge his blanket 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada that took effect on Tuesday.
Trump’s senior adviser said the president also plans to “level set” with Americans about the state of the country.
“Typically, this would be done after the first year a president is in office. But since President Trump has already served as president before. He’s going to come in, he’s going to level set with the American people about where exactly we are as a country, what’s happened over these past four years, what he’s been able to accomplish over the last four or five weeks. Then what we still have yet to go and accomplish,” Miller said.
More on the presidential address: Trump will also discuss what will happen next in his agenda, Miller said.
”We have to go and get this tax bill done. I think you’ll hear the president this evening talk about the one big beautiful bill so we can keep taxes low and take it even lower for Americans. Also need to make sure to make these border fixes permanent,” Miller said.
He continued, “And then also, as we look ahead, really, we got to look to the future and make sure we’re winning things such as the AI war against China, having a Marshall Plan for energy. So, it’s a bit of where we are, what we’ve accomplished and what we’re going to do, both in the short and in the longer term.”
On the pause in aid to Ukraine, Miller said Trump is being aggressive in his attempts to get Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to agree to a deal that would stop the war.
“President Trump is the only person, the only person talking about stopping the killing, and sometimes leaders can use the carrot, sometimes they can use the stick,” Miller said. “And in this case, I think President Trump is using the 2 by 4 to go and get his point across to President Zelensky, and that is that President Trump wants to stop the killing. Zelensky has got to get back to the table. He has to take this seriously.”
President Donald Trump’s order to pause shipments of US military aid to Ukraine will encourage Russian President Vladimir Putin “to ask for more,” according to an analyst at the UK-based Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) think tank.
“This decision is not about economics. It is driven fundamentally by Trump’s view that Russia is willing to do a peace deal, and only Ukraine is the obstacle. But there is no evidence that Russia would be prepared to accept a deal, and what that would be,” said Malcolm Chalmers, RUSI’s deputy director general.
“Indeed this decision will encourage Putin to ask for more – including Ukrainian demilitarisation and neutrality,” Chalmers said in a statement.
“The nightmare scenario is that the US and Russia announce a deal soon, and then tell Ukraine and Europe to ‘take it or leave it,’” he added. “The European offer of ‘boots on the ground’ after a deal has helped reassure Ukraine. But the debate has now moved on. And what will count most of all is how far the UK and Europe are prepared to help Ukraine in defiance of the US.”
The RUSI analyst said that recent estimates show only about 20% of Ukraine’s total military hardware is supplied by the United States, with 55% produced domestically and 25% from Europe and the rest of the world. (In January, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky gave a different figure, saying about 33% of Ukrainian weapons were produced at home, with more coming from the US.)
“But the 20% is the most lethal and important. Ukraine will not collapse – they already experienced an aid cutoff last year, but the effect will be cumulative,” Chalmers said.
The United States continues to share intelligence information with Ukraine as of Tuesday morning, a source familiar with the situation told CNN.
It comes after US President Donald Trump on Monday ordered a pause on shipments of US military aid to Kyiv after his heated Oval Office argument with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last week.
The Kremlin said Tuesday that the suspension of US military aid to Ukraine could push Kyiv “toward the peace process,” although its spokesperson declined to say whether Russia itself is ready for a ceasefire.
Reacting to the Trump administration’s order to pause shipments of military aid to Ukraine, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said: “We have yet to find out the details. But if this is true, then this is a decision that could really push the Kyiv regime towards a peace process.”
Asked on a regular briefing call with journalists if Russia was ready to stop fighting if the United States suspends arms supplies to Ukraine, Peskov replied: “We see that some European countries are declaring that they will continue to provide comprehensive assistance, etc. That is, they will probably try to compensate for the decreasing volume of ammunition. But of course, the main volume has so far come from the US and through US channels. Therefore, we’ll see.”
“If the US suspends these supplies, it will probably be the best contribution to peace,” he added.
Ukraine targeted overnight: Russia attacked Ukraine with nearly a hundred drones overnight, injuring at least four people and damaging energy infrastructure and residential buildings in the southern city of Odesa, Ukrainian authorities said on Tuesday.
US President Donald Trump announced he was pausing military shipments to Ukraine this week after his heated Oval Office argument with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last week.
After he said that, Russia launched hundreds of drones at the country on Monday night.
Here’s how some officials are reacting:
Ukrainian MP tells Zelensky to apologize: Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Goncharenko voiced dismay at Trump’s decision and urged Kyiv to apologize and repair the relationship. “If they want us to apologize, we should apologize. What difference does it make if our task is not to lose the war and not to lose people?” he wrote on Telegram.
Ukrainian military: Ukrainian officers expressed hopes that European allies will step up in the United States’ absence. “American support is critical for defending the sky, and financial assistance affects the economy and morale of society, which is also important for the frontline,” said Serhii Filimonov, commander of the 108th Separate Mechanized Battalion, which has been fighting for months near the city of Pokrovsk, in eastern Ukraine.
“In the future, much will depend on our European allies. They will have to leave the comfort zone of social media support. We cannot stand alone,” Ukraine’s 46th Separate Airmobile Brigade said.
Volodymyr Dehtyarov, a public affairs officer for the Khartiia Brigade of Ukraine’s National Guard, echoed the sentiment that frontline units are relying primarily on drones, rather than the US-supplied weapons and layered air defenses that are protecting Ukrainian cities.
Russia attacked Ukraine with nearly a hundred drones overnight, injuring at least four people and damaging energy infrastructure and residential buildings in the southern city of Odesa, Ukrainian authorities said on Tuesday.
The latest Russian aerial assault came as Ukraine woke to the news that President Donald Trump had ordered a pause on shipments of US military aid to Kyiv following his heated Oval Office argument with counterpart President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Ukraine shot down 65 of 99 drones launched by Russia across the country overnight, the Ukrainian air force said on Tuesday.
Another 32 drones did not reach their targets, likely due to electronic warfare countermeasures, the air force added. It did not specify what happened to the remaining two drones.
Officials in the northern region of Sumy said a children’s medical center was damaged in the Russian drone attacks.
Meanwhile, in the eastern Donetsk region, Russian attacks killed one person and injured another over the past day, local officials said.
Another five people were injured in Russian attacks in the southern Kherson region, officials said.
There were a ton of developments both domestically and internationally Monday in relation to President Donald Trump’s presidency.
As we prepare for Trump’s address to Congress tonight, here’s a recap of Monday:
President Donald Trump is planning to highlight accomplishments so far but also look ahead to next steps during his address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday, an ally of the president, Jason Miller, said.
“What comes next is so critical,” Miller said during a Sunday appearance on Fox News. He pointed to efforts to tackle inflation by cutting federal spending, the proposed tax bill, and funding for the border, as well as “making sure that we continue to bring peace and stability around the world, but we have to do it with respect and strength.”
Trump is also expected to look ahead, Miller said, to “making sure we get to Mars, winning the AI race against China, … (and) making sure we have a Marshall Plan for the next generation.”
The president will connect those topics, he said, “with people in their everyday lives.”
“President Trump has this unique ability to speak directly to the American people and let them know in a transparent and accountable way how he is helping them,” Miller said.
The American public’s view of Donald Trump’s presidency and the direction he’s leading the country is more negative than positive just ahead of his first formal address to Congress since returning to office, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS.
The survey finds that across three basic measures of Trump’s performance on the job – his approval rating, whether he has the right priorities and whether his policies are taking the country in the right direction – the negative side outpaces the positive.
Overall, 52% disapprove of Trump’s performance in office, with 48% approving, about the same as in a CNN poll in mid-February. The poll was completed before Friday’s angry exchange in the Oval Office between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and does not reflect public opinion on that event.
Trump continues to be broadly popular with Republicans (90% of whom approve of his handling of the job) and unpopular among Democrats (90% disapprove), while disapproval among independents is approaching 6 in 10: 41% approve and 59% disapprove. Earlier in February, a similar 43% of independents approved and 56% disapproved.
Trump’s 48% approval rating ahead of his initial address to Congress is higher than it was in 2017 before that year’s speech at the Capitol. Trump’s appearances before Congress during his first term did little to move the needle on his approval rating: None of his four speeches resulted in a change to his approval rating of more than 3 percentage points. Trump will be addressing a country that is largely greeting his policy proposals with skepticism. More Americans see Trump’s policy proposals as taking the country in the wrong direction (45%) than the right one (39%), with 15% expressing no opinion on the question. In early March of 2017, just after that first-term initial address to Congress, Americans split about evenly over whether Trump’s policies would lead the right way or the wrong one, but by the following January, they said by a 12-point margin that his policies were pointing the nation in the wrong direction.

Trump report card: Conservative and liberal analysts reveal their grades for president on top issues
From Reagan to Biden, here are some of the top wildest moments from presidential speeches to both chambers of Congress
Fox News Digital spoke to two political analysts on where President Trump stands grade wise with the American public on some of the top issues heading into his address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night.
Rob Bluey, president and executive editor of the Daily Signal, and Julian Epstein, longtime Democratic operative, attorney, and former chief counsel to the House Judiciary Committee, gave Trump grades of A-F on some of the top issues he is expected to touch on in his speech.
Immigration:
BLUEY: A
“Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and border czar Tom Homan are among the most visible members of the Trump administration,” Bluey told Fox News Digital.

“Their work is paying off. Customs and Border Protection is encountering a record-low number of illegal aliens at the southern border. Thanks to combination of increased enforcement and the threat of deportation, President Trump is delivering on his promise to end illegal immigration. He’ll need more resources from Congress to finish the job and finally secure the border.”
EPSTEIN: A
“Promises made, promises kept, the public is strongly behind him on this, and Democracies don’t survive too long under the Biden open borders approach,” Epstein said.
Foreign Policy:
BLUEY: B
“President Trump promised to end the war between Russia and Ukraine in 24 hours. That’s proving to be more difficult, mostly because of Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s unrealistic demands,” Bluey said. “After Friday’s blowup in the Oval Office, it’s unclear when peace talks will resume. In the Middle East, Trump is hoping to replicate the success of the Abraham Accords negotiated during his first term. Trump set the tone with his ultimatum for Hamas to release hostages, although there are approximately 59 still in captivity. With the first phase of the ceasefire coming to an end, it’ll take more U.S. diplomacy to get a deal done.”
EPSTEIN: B
“The Zelenskyy Presser meltdown didn’t make anyone look good on the global stage, Epstein said. “Rule #1: get your act together before you go public. And where are our hostages in Gaza? On the other hand, Trump is playing three-dimensional chess in each theater, where Biden was playing checkers and never made much meaningful progress.”
Culture wars (DEI, trans issue):
Bluey: A+
“Using his executive powers, President Trump ordered an end to DEI throughout the federal government—and exposed its deep roots across the bureaucracy,” Bluey told Fox News Digital. “By eliminating DEI jobs, he’s ensuring that taxpayers no longer subsidize this Marxist idea. He also signed an executive order banning men from women’s sports, an iconic moment with young athletes cheering him on. His confrontation with Maine Gov. Janet Mills over the issue shows he’s serious about enforcing it.”
Epstein: A
“The American people never wanted the cultural revolution that the far left was trying to impose on race and gender, the president will have a super majority of public support on this,” Epstein said.

DOGE:
Bluey: A
“Elon Musk and the DOGE team are on the hunt to save taxpayers $1 trillion, which would cut the budget deficit in half,” Bluey told Fox News Digital. “They’ve already found $65 billion and showcased the results on a public website. But that represents just 6.5% of Musk’s goal, revealing what a daunting task it will be. Fortunately, there’s finally someone in Washington with the guts to cut spending and bring accountability to federal agencies. Musk shows no signs of slowing down, buoyed by recent polls showing support for spending reductions.”
Epstein: B+
“Trump, must, will have public support to rid the bureaucracy of all its flab, self dealing and cultural revolutionary ideology,” Epstein said. “But they’re acting like they are in a breathless race against father time on this, when in fact they have time to make sure they don’t cut off important things like cancer research.”

Economy:
Bluey: B
“President Trump acknowledged that inflation will be hard to tame, placing the blame on his predecessor,” Bluey explained. “It’s true that the Biden administration’s spending spree got us into this mess. And it doesn’t help that Trump is also facing a bird flu outbreak causing a spike in egg prices. Voters, however, expect Trump to deliver on his promise to help with the cost of living. His efforts to reduce regulatory burdens and provide tax relief are important steps. He’ll need to keep a watchful eye on Americans’ views of their personal finances to measure his success.”
Epstein: B
“Biden made a lot of mistakes and did a lot of dumb things, probably the dumbest was back shelving inflation,” Epstein said. “For all of the whirlwind, we’ve seen very little in the way of Trump tackling inflation in the first month. This has to change.”
