Live updates: The latest news ahead of Trump's joint address to Congress
• Fallout from Oval Office meeting: President Donald Trump said in a social media post Monday that the US 'will not put up' with perceived resistance by President Volodymyr Zelensky to ending the war with Russia, making clear his enmity toward the Ukrainian leader remains after a heated meeting in the Oval Office on Friday. Trump's national security adviser said Monday that Zelensky needed to express regret before talks could resume on a mineral deal, and he welcomed a Europe-led effort to end the war in Ukraine.
• Government overhaul: The tensions with Ukraine come as Trump prepares to deliver an address to Congress tomorrow and pushes ahead with his domestic agenda, including shaking up the federal workforce. CNN reported that the Department of Education is offering buyouts of up to $25,000 to certain employees, who have until 11:59 p.m. ET on Monday to accept the offer. Trump has made eliminating the department a top goal of his administration.
• Looming tariffs: Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Sunday he expects the US to impose tariffs on Canada and Mexico on Tuesday, but that the situation is 'fluid' and Trump will determine the levels. 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 10% tariff), along with a new 10% tariff on Chinese goods.

While tariffs kicked off the dispute, it's the new trade weapons being unsheathed by both sides that have come to define the latest standoff. And if the damage done so far is any indication, the scars will prove more enduring — no matter the outcome of trade talks in London that will continue into a second day on Tuesday.
