Good Wednesday morning.

The president’s economic team said it was looking for ways to limit the damage from such a move. • Mr. Trump has vowed to cut aid to Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador over migration. He was reacting after the Senate blocked billions of dollars in disaster aid for Midwestern states, in part because Democrats said a proposed $600 million in nutritional assistance to Puerto Rico fell short of its needs. • Jens Stoltenberg, the NATO secretary general, sat very stiffly next to Mr. Trump on Tuesday, two days before the 70th anniversary of the alliance, as the president criticized German military spending and predicted the United States would get along with Russia.
