President Donald Trump is scheduled on Tuesday to address a joint session of Congress, as his second administration moves to recast the federal government, implement “America First” policies and redefine U.S. support for Ukraine.

Trump’s aides and Republican allies voiced support over the weekend for the president, following his charged Oval Office meeting with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. European leaders began work on Sunday on their own framework for peace.

The president is also expected on Tuesday to put in place paused tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada, along with increased duties on goods from China.

Republican rep introduces bill to make English official language of US
After President Donald Trump signed an executive order making English the official language of the U.S., an Alabama Republican has proposed a bill to ensure the policy becomes permanent federal law.

Rep. Robert Aderholt introduced the bill, “Designation of English as the Official Language of the United States Act of 2025,” on Monday.

The bill seeks to establish a uniform English language rule for naturalization and provide clarity in the interpretation of U.S. laws, according to Aderholt.

America has always been a melting pot of cultures, traditions, and languages,” Aderholt wrote in a statement. “However, throughout our history, English has remained the common thread uniting us as one nation. By designating English as the official language of the United States, we are reinforcing our commitment to a shared national identity and ensuring clear and effective communication across all levels of government.”
