(Reuters) - Highlights of the day for U.S. President Donald Trump's administration on Tuesday:

HEALTHCARE

Trump meets briefly with Republicans in Congress to consolidate support for a plan to overhaul the Obamacare healthcare law with a partial replacement, the biggest legislative effort of his presidency so far.

SUPREME COURT

Neil Gorsuch, Trump's Supreme Court pick, says he will have no trouble ruling against the president as he tries to stake out his independence amid concerns by Democrats that he would be beholden to the man who nominated him.

TILLERSON

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson plans to skip a meeting with NATO foreign ministers next month in order to stay home for a visit by China's president and will go to Russia later in April, U.S. officials say, an itinerary that allies may see as giving Moscow priority over them.

NUCLEAR ARMS

The Trump administration will review whether the United States will reaffirm the goal of a world without nuclear weapons as part of its U.S. nuclear policy reassessment, the top White House nuclear policy adviser says.

NORTH KOREA

The Trump administration is considering sweeping sanctions aimed at cutting North Korea off from the global financial system as part of a broad review of measures to counter Pyongyang's nuclear and missile threat, a senior U.S. official says.

SECURITY

The Trump administration confirms it is imposing restrictions on electronic devices carried by travelers coming to the United States from 10 airports mainly in the Middle East and North Africa in response to unspecified terror threats.

BRITAIN

British Prime Minister Theresa May, who has been criticized by opposition for not pressing Trump on contentious issues during a trip to Washington, tells a magazine, "I like to think we got on."

CANADA
