Trump’s 20th week includes White House meeting with German Chancellor Merz

President Donald Trump’s 20th week in the Oval Office is shaping up to be a busy one, with a packed schedule that includes a White House meeting with Germany’s Chancellor Friedrich Merz, a phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping, and ongoing negotiations in the Senate to pass the “big, beautiful bill” that funds the president’s ambitious agenda.

As Trump enters his 134th day in office, he has already issued 150 executive orders that have had a significant impact on domestic policies. His administration has also been actively engaged in trade negotiations with foreign nations and has been working to bring an end to international conflicts.

One of the key events of the week will be the meeting between Trump and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. The two leaders are expected to discuss the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, as well as trade policies that affect both countries. This meeting comes on the heels of a recent meeting between Merz and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, where Germany pledged increased support for Ukraine.

In addition to the meeting with Merz, Trump is also scheduled to have a phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping to discuss tariffs and trade negotiations. The two countries have been engaged in a trade war, with both sides imposing tariffs on each other’s goods. Despite reaching a preliminary trade agreement last month, Trump recently accused China of violating the terms of the deal.

Meanwhile, in the Senate, lawmakers are working to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, a comprehensive piece of legislation that covers taxes, immigration, energy, defense, and the national debt. The bill has already passed in the House, but some Republican senators have expressed concerns about its impact on the national debt. President Trump has urged lawmakers to pass the bill, calling it the most significant piece of legislation in the country’s history.

As the week progresses, all eyes will be on the White House as Trump continues to push his agenda forward. With key meetings and negotiations on the horizon, it promises to be a week filled with high-stakes discussions and important decisions.
