President Trump will address Congress on Tuesday night against the backdrop of newly levied tariffs on the nation's closest trading partners, Canada and Mexico.
The tariffs, which went into effect in the wee hours and drew sharp rebukes from those nation's leaders, may be short-lived, though. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said in late afternoon that a deal to end them could be announced as soon as Wednesday.
Trump's speech is expected to start at 9 p.m. EST.
It comes just 10 days before a potential government shutdown. Efforts to try to avert it will ramp up Wednesday, with both Trump and Elon Musk expected to talk to Republicans.
