> The program highlights Trump’s White House meeting with Qatar’s prime minister and the US military’s “Iron Gate” operation, which extends its maritime blockade of Iran to the land border. It also covers national security concerns over whether the affair involving Nvidia founder Jensen Huang is linked to Chinese intelligence activity, bipartisan congressional demands for answers, Trump’s plan to take Huang to China for the APEC leaders’ summit, and an expected two-month extension of the US-China trade truce ahead of Trump’s planned APEC meeting with Xi Jinping next week.
