For more, I'm joined now by WSJ national security reporter Robbie Grammer.

Well, Robbie, we spoke earlier this afternoon about how Europeans were reacting to Trump's speech at Davos.

Now we're talking again because he's canceled the tariff threat.

How is this going over in Europe?

Do we know any details about this framework of a future deal, as he says?

That was WSJ national security reporter Robbie Grammer.

Thanks, Robbie.

The U.S.

Supreme Court today heard oral arguments in the case of Lisa Cook, the member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors who President Trump tried to fire last year.

And the session was rough going for the Trump administration.

The court's decision could have consequences beyond Cook's individual case, determining whether the Fed will keep setting monetary policy independent of presidential meddling, a huge matter of concern for investors and the broader economy.

For more on the hearing, I'm joined now by WSJ Chief Economics Correspondent Nick Timorose.

Nick, coming into today's hearing, the Supreme Court had signaled that it wanted to protect the Fed from political interference.

For example, there was a decision last May in which the court said Trump could fire federal commissioners but made it clear that the Fed was off limits.

How did this play out during today's arguments?

Which way does it seem like the justices are leaning right now?

That was WSJ Chief Economics Correspondent Nick Timros.

Thanks, Nick.

A House committee has voted to find former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress after the Clintons declined to appear for depositions regarding sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The committee is led by Republicans, but the vote drew significant Democratic support to pass.
