Live updates: Trump meets with Modi after proposing reciprocal tariffs; Senate confirms Kennedy to lead HHS

President Trump welcomes his second global leader this week with a visit from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday afternoon.

Their meeting takes place just hours after Trump called for reciprocal tariffs that he maintains will crack down on unfair and discriminatory tariffs from both adversaries and allies.

Embattled nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. received the Senate’s support Thursday to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, capping a twisting journey to become the nation’s next secretary. Only Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), a polio survivor, opposed Kennedy from the GOP side.

Brooke Rollins was confirmed as the Trump administration’s Agriculture secretary shortly afterward.

Another of Trump’s contentious nominees, Kash Patel for FBI director, advanced out of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday morning.
