He joined a growing procession of Western leaders – following French President Emmanuel Macron at the end of 2025 and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at the beginning of 2026 – seeking face time in the Chinese capital.

Here are the revolts to watch in the next two weeks: — First, there’s FISA: Republican leaders want to pass a straightforward extension of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA, next week, to give the Senate enough time to reauthorize the key spy authority before the April 20 deadline.

Host Stephanie Ruhle asked, “You want state leaders to suspend the gas tax. Gov. Newsom (D) says that is not going to bring down prices.
