President Donald Trump will be meeting with Colombian President Gustavo Petro today at the White House. President Trump has followed through on his commitment to stopping the opioid epidemic, and Colombia has been a major producer of cocaine.
The federal government is in a partial shutdown after the Senate separated Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding from the package previously approved in the House of Representatives. The lower chamber is preparing to vote on the details of the remainder of fiscal year 2026 appropriations, with DHS to be temporarily extended while that agency’s final funding is negotiated.
House Speaker Mike Johnson said he expects the adjusted package to be approved. He stated, “I don’t understand why anybody would have a problem with this… Remember, these are the bills that have already been passed; we’re going to do it again.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For President Trump to be led by the Lord is his discussions with the Colombian president.
- For Speaker Johnson and members of the House as they consider the changes to appropriations made in the Senate.
- For President Trump and his advisors to seek God’s direction as they implement strategies to address the opioid crisis.
