Good morning. It's Thursday, January 26. Mexico's president is considering canceling next week's visit to Washington following President Trump's order to begin construction of a wall between the two countries, a senior official said.

UCF's No. 2 in command warned that the university could halt one of its major hiring initiatives for new faculty members if the state unleashes major budget cuts.
