0:09.4 | Hey, good morning. It's Saturday, May the 10th, the 11th day of Donald Trump's second presidency, and here's where we stand. |
0:16.5 | The trade war, Trump, seemed to think he could easily win against China is not playing out that way, |
0:21.5 | as the president freelances public concessions, while officials from his administration are meeting in |
0:26.5 | Geneva with their Chinese counterparts who are not making any public concessions at all. |
0:32.3 | Until about two hours ago, two of America's nuclear-armed allies, India and Pakistan, |
