HEALTHCARE
House of Representatives Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy says it will be very difficult to accelerate the end of enrollment in the Obamacare Medicaid expansion, as some conservative members of his Republican Party have proposed.
Trump is in the midst of a charm offensive of the type not seen before in his brief and chaotic tenure, forcefully rallying behind legislation to repeal the Obamacare healthcare law while trying to placate the bill's opponents.
MIDDLE EAST
Trump and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will speak by telephone on Friday, the White House and Palestinian officials say, in what will be their first contact since Trump took office.
ETHICS
Ethics experts say disagreements between Trump businesses and the local governments where they are situated create unavoidable conflicts of interest because the federal government is a key source of funding and other benefits for municipalities and counties.
The head of a U.S. government ethics watchdog is concerned about the White House decision not to discipline presidential adviser Kellyanne Conway after she publicly endorsed a fashion line sold by Trump's daughter Ivanka.
