President Trump heads to the United Nations as Chinese President Xi Jinping prepares for a high-profile state visit to Washington.
On today’s 10 Minute Drill, we break down Trump’s busy foreign policy week, his U.N. address, and what to watch for when he meets with Xi at the White House. Trade and the broader U.S.-China relationship will be front and center as the two leaders meet for talks, a state arrival ceremony and a state dinner.
Plus, today’s Climate Grifter: Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse. We dig into the Rhode Island Democrat’s climate advocacy and questions surrounding environmental organizations connected to his wife, Sandra Whitehouse, including concerns raised by ethics watchdogs over potential conflicts of interest.
We also cover the latest developments in the Paramount deal, including commitments involving CBS and CNN; Kamala Harris’ future and whether she will make another run for president in 2028; Harris campaigning alongside Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed; Cory Booker’s comments about El-Sayed; and Gavin Newsom’s latest reflections on his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.
From Trump and Xi to the 2028 Democratic field, climate politics and the media, we break down the biggest political stories of the day.
