Good Thursday morning.
Here is what’s on the president’s agenda today:
- In the afternoon, President Donald J. Trump will have lunch with Vice President Mike Pence, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, and Secretary of Defense James Mattis.
- The president will then participate in an event regarding deregulation, followed by a meeting with the chairwoman of the Republican National Committee.
I have a condensed version of the MB for you this morning.
