President Trump rounded out his first 100 days in office as lawmakers returned to Washington this week with the directive to pass his agenda amid lingering economic tensions.
The administration’s tariff plan has left the global economy reeling as consumer confidence has plummeted. On Friday, the also president unveiled his budget plan, which included steep reductions on non-defense spending, and provoked backlash from Democrats and even sparked worries among GOP defense hawks.
Russell Vought, director of the Office of Management and Budget, is encouraging Congress to keep defense spending flat at $893 billion with the hopes of boosting it later through a reconciliation bill, which some Republicans warned is not “sustainable.”
The president, who his joining NBC’s “Meet The Press” on Sunday, will likely recap his first quarter in office as well as his budget proposal amid some internal party divides.
Trump also continued to make headlines this week over his efforts to eliminate federal funding for public media outlets. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting argued Trump’s executive order overstepped his authority.
Katherine Maher, NPR’s CEO and president, will likely address the move during a Sunday appearance on CBS’s “Face the Nation” alongside PBS’s CEO Paula Krerger.
The duo will also be joined by Oksana Markarova, Ukraine’s ambassador to the United States, on the program Sunday. The foreign diplomat is expected to discuss Ukraine’s latest deal with the U.S., which approved access to the Eastern European nation’s natural resources and even irked some MAGA loyalists.
One day after the deal, national security adviser Mike Waltz was tapped to leave his post. However, Trump then nominated him to become the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, a position Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) was pulled from over concerns about maintaining the Republican majority in the House.
The New York Republican may speak to the unexpected shift in course during her appearance on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” as well as rumors about her tossing her hat in the ring for the state’s gubernatorial race.
