  • Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in China today for a challenging trip designed to dial-down tensions and convey a raft of concerns including Chinese support for Russia, Chinese industrial overcapacity, and confrontational Chinese naval actions in the South China Sea.
  • The Federal Trade Commission yesterday finalised broad regulations banning most non-compete clauses in employment contracts. The rule is expected to come into effect in August.
  • Former GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley received 17% of the vote share in the Pennsylvania presidential primary yesterday - a warning sign for former President Donald Trump.
  • A new survey of swing states has found that Biden’s recent polling bump in key battleground states, “has mostly evaporated as a deep current of pessimism about the trajectory of the US economy hurts his standing with voters.”
  • Poll of the Day: Americans say, “limiting the power and influence of Russia and China,” are the US’ top long-term foreign policy priorities.
