Summary

As Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida visits the White House and a trilateral summit with the U.S., Philippines, and Japan, President Biden is emphasizing how important of a priority America's relationship with the Indo-Pacific region is. Founder and President of Eurasia Group, Ian Bremmer shares how creating alliances in Asia thwarts Chinese influence, how these partnerships influence America economically, and how leaders in the Indo-Pacific feel about President Biden and former President Trump ahead of the 2024 Election. This week, the House of Representatives delayed sending impeachment articles to the Senate to begin the trial of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Why? Whether it was because House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) didn't push the articles through fast enough or because Republicans are putting pressure on Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who may be trying to quickly dispense with said articles, the process has now been halted. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram explains where the impeachment process stands and how it could play a role in the future of Speaker Johnson. Learn more about your ad choices.
