(NewsNation) — President Donald Trump on Tuesday is set to hold a Cabinet meeting, where he is likely to discuss issues including trade and the use of federal resources to crack down on crime.
NewsNation will stream the meeting live in this story.
The meeting comes as consumers have begun to feel the impact of Trump’s tariffs, which have resulted in higher prices in stores, though the administration has touted revenue generated by the duties.
The Trump administration has also faced scrutiny over the deployment of the National Guard and federal agents in Washington, D.C., which the White House has said was necessary to crack down on crime in the district.
Local officials have disputed that reasoning, pointing out that data shows crime in the capital has been on the decline.
The president has suggested he will deploy National Guard troops or active duty military to other Democratic-run cities, with Chicago next on the list.
He has also faced continuing pressure from voters and some members of Congress to release files related to billionaire and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Trump promised to release the files during his presidential campaign but recently referred to them as a democratic hoax.
