President Trump has a busy day planned at the White House on Tuesday.
Argentinian President Javier Milei will make his first visit to the Oval Office. The bilateral meeting with Trump comes less than a week after the U.S. directly purchased Argentine pesos and finalized a $20 billion currency swap line with Argentina’s central bank to help stabilize the South American nation’s financial markets.
Later Tuesday afternoon, Trump will honor the late Charlie Kirk with the Medal of Freedom. Both chambers of Congress passed a resolution marking Oct. 14, Kirk’s 32nd birthday, as a day of remembrance. Kirk was fatally shot while speaking at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, on Sept. 10.
Meanwhile, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) dared Democrats on Tuesday to challenge the Trump administration’s move to repurpose previously appropriated funds to pay service members during the government shutdown.
The Senate reconvenes and has a vote set for Tuesday evening on the House-passed continuing resolution to fund the government as the shutdown hits the two-week mark.
Follow along all day for updates.
