CNN  —  When he steps onto the dais in the House chamber on Tuesday night, President Donald Trump will have another major platform to relay his second-term priorities. For Democrats, the moment will present a fresh test of whether they can effectively counter Trump’s prime-time programming.

Milliken, Colorado CNN  —  Take a ride with David Hayes around his Colorado ranch and you learn right away he is a feisty, funny guy. “I tried farming for a while,” he told a visitor. “I would rather get run over by a bison.” There is just one bison remaining on the Spomer Ranch, down from 60 or 70 a few years ago. “I’m retiring,” Hayes said. “Just about 70 and my body isn’t working too good anymore.” Trouble is the last bison’s name. And Hayes was quick to add that trouble is what he sees in Washington one month…

CNN  —  American consumers don’t need to fret about President Donald Trump’s tariffs on aluminum raising the price of their can of soda. Two weeks ago, Trump announced a 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum imports into the United States that would go into effect March 12, worrying some soda drinkers that another staple will take more out of their wallet. But shortly after the executive order, beverage companies began assessing what the tariffs could mean for their industry — and the results weren’t too concerning. Coca-Cola CEO James Quincey suggested the company could move away from using aluminum…

CNN  —  The Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militia on Saturday declared an immediate ceasefire, two days after its jailed leader Abdullah Ocalan called on fighters to lay down their arms and dissolve the group.

CNN  —  Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Sunday he expects the United States to impose tariffs on Canada and Mexico on Tuesday, but that the situation is “fluid” and President Donald Trump will determine the levels. “There are going to be tariffs on Tuesday on Mexico and Canada,” Lutnick told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures.” “Exactly what they are, we’re going to leave that for the president and his team to negotiate.” Trump’s proposed tariffs from February consisted of a 25% duty on all imports from Mexico and most from Canada (energy products were to have a…

Moscow CNN  —  To seasoned diplomatic observers, US President Donald Trump’s furious dressing down of Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office was a planned political mugging, a trap set by the Trump administration to discredit the Ukrainian leader and remove him as an obstacle to whatever comes next.

Nothing has been announced in public. But, privately, there’s talk of the Trump-Putin summit, always…
