Summary

President Donald Trump is set to embark on his first major foreign trip of his second term when he heads to the Middle East next week. He is expected to visit Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, where his agenda will likely include serious discussions on trade, energy, Israel-Gaza ceasefire talks, and more. FOX News State Department and Foreign Policy Correspondent Gillian Turner previews next week's historic trip and discusses how the Trump administration is addressing multiple global conflicts, including the one between India and Pakistan. As the Republican-led Congress continues trying to find a consensus on the ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’, some on Capitol Hill have expressed concerns about what they call America’s national debt crisis. Texas Republican Congressman Jodey Arrington says this is a generational opportunity to drastically address the government’s spending and find ways to reform our entitlements. The Chairman of the House Budget Committee discusses the severity of America’s debt problem and what he thinks needs to be done in the coming months. Learn more about your ad choices.
