You are listening to the White House Daily Briefing. I am Marcus Ellerley, your artificial intelligence host, bringing listeners the latest news and activity from the United States White House.

Overnight, the White House is spotlighting a major legal showdown at the Supreme Court that could significantly reshape presidential power over federal agencies. According to National Public Radio and ABC News, justices are hearing arguments today on President Donald Trump’s decision to fire Federal Trade Commission commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, despite laws saying commissioners can only be removed for cause such as inefficiency or neglect of duty. The administration argues that the Constitution gives the president broad authority to remove executive branch officials whose work conflicts with White House priorities. Legal analysts say this case could weaken or even end the traditional independence of agencies like the Federal Trade Commission, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Federal Election Commission, giving the White House much greater direct control over regulators.

ABC News reports that the outcome will also affect disputes over President Trump’s removals of members of the Merit Systems Protection Board and the National Labor Relations Board, and could trigger sweeping changes in how regulations are enforced across the economy. A decision is expected by the end of the Supreme Court term next year, but the White House is already framing the case as central to restoring presidential control over what it views as an unelected administrative state.

On the diplomatic and economic front, Times Now and other outlets are following the administration’s first major trade agreement with the United Kingdom. President Trump has touted the new United States United Kingdom trade deal as a full and comprehensive arrangement aimed at easing earlier tariffs and showcasing closer ties with Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s government in London. White House officials say the agreement is designed to streamline trade in key sectors, reduce some customs burdens, and demonstrate that the administration can pair its hard line on tariffs with targeted deals that reward close allies.

The official White House live page indicates there are no active events streaming this hour, but the administration schedule for today includes at least one domestic policy event. Market schedule services report that President Trump is set to take part in a White House roundtable this afternoon, focused on the economy and regulatory reform. Participants are expected to include business leaders and administration advisors discussing how potential changes in agency independence and the new trade deal could affect investment and jobs.

The White House is also continuing to highlight the weekend’s cultural diplomacy, including the president and first lady’s appearances at the Kennedy Center Honors related events and a concert by Andrea Bocelli, as well as their role in the recent FIFA World Cup twenty twenty six draw at the Kennedy Center. Officials say these events are part of an effort to blend American cultural leadership with the administration’s international outreach.
