Summary
It was a busy week for the U.S. overseas, as well.
U.S. officials were in Niger this week to attempt facilitating talks between supporters of the captive president and leaders of coup. They were not been allowed to see or speak with President Mohamed Bazoum.
And the Biden administration has crafted new regulations on how American businesses can invest in Chinese enterprises.
We cover these stories and so much more during this week's News Roundup.
