President Trump hosts French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday at the White House, a meeting that comes on the third anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and amid fraying ties between the U.S. and Europe.
Macron arrived early at the White House to join a Group of Seven call. The leaders will meet one-on-one around lunchtime, with a press conference set for 2 p.m.
As Trump focuses on foreign policy, ally and adviser Elon Musk is stirring controversy with a weekend email to federal workers instructing them to “reply to this email with approx. 5 bullet points of what you accomplished last week” by 11:59 p.m. EST Monday. The email followed a Truth Social post from Trump that mused Musk should be “more aggressive.”
Several federal agencies advised employees not to respond the email, including the Pentagon, State Department and intelligence agencies. On Monday, a lawsuit brought by federal unions was amended to include the Musk email.
In Congress, both the House and the Senate return to Washington. The House has teed up for Tuesday a vote on its version a budget resolution to kick-start Trump’s agenda.
Follow along for updates all day.
