Daily round-up of news from the US.
StoryPolitical Risk

Executive summary:

  • House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) intends to hold a vote this morning on a new funding plan to avert a government shutdown at midnight tonight. We have a roundup of what to expect inside.
  • President-elect Trump issued a new tariff threat against the European Union yesterday, threatening a trade war with the bloc if they don’t purchase more US oil and gas.
  • President Biden announced a final round of student debt cancellation, promising to erase the student debt of 55,000 public sector workers.   
  • One of the casualties of the government funding negotiations is likely to be a package of bills to curb outbound US investment in some parts of the Chinese tech sector.
  • US allies say Biden’s strategy of slow-walking key weapons amid fears of a nuclear escalation with Russia cost Ukraine a chance of victory.
  • Senior US diplomats have arrived in Damascus for talks with the rebel faction that now controls most of Syria.
  • US officials are continuing to temper expectations of a ceasefire agreement in Gaza, despite positive signs from Hamas that they may be open to more concessions in light of the Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire deal and Iran’s diminished regional power.
  • Poll of the Day: Democrat, Republican, and Independent foreign policy leaders alike believe that security alliances benefit both the United States and its allies
