Live updates: Trump boosts steel, aluminum tariffs; Senate set to vote on Gabbard

President Trump announed 25 percent tariffs on steel and aluminum on Monday, adding that he would also kick off reciprocal tariffs in the days after. Trump said that the steel and aluminum tariffs would impact “everybody” when asked what countries would be affected.

That move will cap a day that saw the White House's actions slowed again by courts.

A federal judge in Rhode Island on Monday ordered the Trump administration to comply with his order to unfreeze federal grants, after attorneys general for several Democratic states claimed the directive was not being fulfilled. And a third federal judge indefinitely blocked Trump’s executive order to restrict birthright citizenship.

The Senate returns late this afternoon, when Tulsi Gabbard's nomination for director of national intelligence comes up for a procedural vote. One of Trump's most controversial nominees, she managed last week to advance out of committee on a party-line vote.

Meanwhile, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) continues to negotiate with House and Senate Republicans to try to reach a deal to fund the government past the March 14 deadline and enact Trump's priorities. The Senate is also working through Trump's cabinet nominations.
