Five deadlines facing the Trump administration

President Trump will emerge in April from his first 100 days in office with a mixed record when it comes to getting things done, and with a series of new challenges that could have major implications for his presidency.

Trump got his Supreme Court nominee confirmed by the Senate, but he also failed to meet a self-imposed deadline last month when Congress couldn't move a bill to repeal Obamacare. That failure damaged Trump's image as a dealmaker and raised questions about his ability to deliver on other priorities.

But the White House will have another opportunity to flex its muscles on Capitol Hill this month as the government barrels toward a shutdown on April 28 if Congress fails to pass a new funding bill. And a series of upcoming meetings and announcements will put Trump's foreign policy rhetoric to the test for the first time.

Here are five deadlines looming ahead of the Trump administration.

April 28: Government shutdown

Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are hoping to avoid a government shutdown in three weeks by finding a solution that funds the federal government beyond April 28. That's when the continuing resolution Congress passed in December is set to expire.
