Summary

Will a wild week in Washington foreshadow what to expect from President-elect Trump's second term in office? As Congress stared down a government shutdown, President-elect Trump and Elon Musk took to X to shoot down the 1547-page Continuing Resolution. It wasn't until Friday evening that Democrats came together with some Republicans to pass the temporary government funding bill. FOX News Senior White House Correspondent Jacqui Heinrich breaks down what this all could mean for the incoming administration. American diplomats visited the Syrian capital of Damascus for the first time in over a decade last week, meeting with the leader of the Islamist rebel group Ha'yat Tahrir al-Sham -- the terrorist organization that has largely taken control of the region after ousting former President Bashar Assad. Now, as various rebel groups with differing agendas aim to fill this new power vacuum in Syria, how can the U.S. act to ensure a dangerous terror group like ISIS doesn't take control of Syria? FOX News Foreign Correspondent Alex Hogan shares the significance of Americans meeting with HTS, what could happen if Syria permanently fell under the control of terrorists, and how this potential future reality could be avoided.
