In addition to Tuesday night’s tax talk, we know the President will be speaking about the automotive industry.

 At the Willow Run Airport, there’s a lot of work being done on safety technology, but what most expect the president to speak about specifically is a new review of federal auto fuel economy and emissions rules.

For weeks now, the big automakers have been trying to get a review on current rules and regulations.

A review would open the door to lower fuel economy requirements, automakers argue cheap gas makes it hard to sell fuel-efficient vehicles. 

Top automaker executives are expected to be in attendance today.

President Trump is expected to speak at 2:20 p.m.
