Trump’s ‘Day One’ Agenda: President Lines Up Meetings To Discuss National Security, Employment During His First Week In Office
President Donald Trump came under fire by many on social media last week for stating that his first actual day in office would be Monday, but according to reports, the president has packed his day with meetings to work on the ambitious promises he made during the course of his campaign.
Taking to his Twitter accounts — both @realDonaldTrump and @POTUS — Trump briefly outlined his plan for the week, concentrating on employment and national security, as he got ready for a meeting with his administration’s top executives Monday.
The morning is scheduled to start with a breakfast and a “listening session” with corporate leaders, following which President Trump will sit in on a similar session with union leaders and workers in the afternoon, the Associated Press (AP) reported.
Press Secretary Sean Spicer tweeted that the administration’s first official press conference will be held at 1:30p.m. Monday.
Trump is also expected to attend a reception with the members of Congress, who are crucial to the president’s agenda regarding an overhaul of the country’s health care system after the repeal of Obamacare and other similar goals. The president will also meet with the speaker of the House, Paul Ryan — Trump's first official meeting since taking office.
Despite massive protests across the country a day after his inauguration, Trump delivered a message reassuring people that he will work towards the goals he has set out to fulfill.
“But with the faith in each other and the faith in God, we will get the job done,” the president said at the White House East Room during the swearing-in ceremony for his top officials, including son-in-law Jared Kushner. “We will prove worthy of this moment in history. And I think it may very well be a great moment in history.”
