Trump’s 14th week will be dominated by crucial trade talks

President Donald Trump’s post-Easter work week is shaping up to be a busy one, with a mix of Easter celebrations and crucial trade negotiations on the agenda. The highlight of the week is the annual White House Easter Egg Roll, to be hosted by first lady Melania Trump on Monday. Families, children, and members of the Trump Cabinet will gather on the South Lawn for this cherished tradition, which dates back to 1878.

In her message ahead of the event, Melania thanked the East Wing Staff for their tireless efforts in preparing for the Easter Egg Roll. She emphasized the importance of bringing joy, storytelling, and laughter to America’s children through this historic event. Thousands of eggs donated by American farmers will be featured at this year’s Egg Roll, continuing the tradition that has been a staple of White House Easter celebrations for 147 years.

Meanwhile, the Trump administration is set to continue trade negotiations, with a focus on striking a tariff deal with South Korea. Following the reciprocal tariff pause earlier this month, the administration is actively engaging with foreign nations to secure deals that benefit the U.S. and address the country’s trade deficit. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed that talks with South Korean officials are scheduled for this week, as part of the ongoing efforts to reach mutually beneficial agreements.

In addition to trade negotiations, President Trump has also been focusing on supporting the U.S. fishing industry. He recently signed an executive order aimed at boosting American seafood competitiveness and cutting red tape for commercial fishermen. A specific executive action related to Maine’s lobster industry is expected to be signed this week, following Trump’s previous efforts to roll back regulations that restricted lobster fishing in certain areas.

As Trump approaches his 100th day in office on April 30, his 14th week back in the Oval Office is marked by a mix of Easter festivities and crucial policy decisions. With the Easter Egg Roll and trade negotiations taking center stage, the week ahead promises to be a busy and productive one for the Trump administration.
