THIS WEEK IN DC

President Donald Trump is acting quickly to carry out key campaign pledges, announcing meetings to renegotiate the North American Free-Trade Agreement and taking early action to stall some of Barack Obama's last-minute regulations. 

Trump will receive his first foreign leader on Friday, British Prime Minister Theresa May, and he'll meet Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto on Jan. 31. Trade will be a major topic in both meetings. During a meeting with White House staff on Sunday, Trump said he would also be meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on starting the NAFTA negotiations.

Congressional Republicans, meanwhile, will head to a retreat this week in Philadelphia. The discussion is expected to focus how to replace the Affordable Care Act, and Trump is expected to join the lawmakers on Thursday.

In one of the administration's first acts last Friday, the White House ordered delays in regulations that had not yet taken effect. That action delays a new Agriculture Department rule that sets standards of proof for livestock and poultry producers who believe they have been harmed by processors' business practices. Some industry groups will be pressuring Trump's nominee for agriculture secretary, former Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue, to scrap the rule.
