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

HEALTHCARE

Republican lawmakers struggling to overcome differences over new healthcare legislation confronted a stark choice after Trump delivered an ultimatum: pass the bill on Friday or keep Obamacare in place.

Steadfast opposition from the House's conservative Freedom Caucus, as well as Republican moderates, have put Trump's art-of-the-deal skills to the test.

PIPELINE

Trump will make an announcement on TransCanada Corp's Keystone XL pipeline on Friday morning, after the company said the Department of State had issued a presidential permit for construction of the line linking Canadian oil sands to U.S. refiners.
