Trump’s State of the Union Comes After Court Setback, Senate Hearings Await

President Trump is set to present his State of the Union address in the coming days, following a significant Supreme Court ruling that dismantled a major component of his trade agenda. Additionally, his disputed nominee for U.S. surgeon general is finally scheduled to appear before senators for her postponed confirmation proceedings.

Meanwhile, the House Agriculture Committee had planned to start deliberations on Monday regarding a Republican-backed farm bill, though inclement weather forced lawmakers to postpone the beginning of the markup process.
