MNI POLITICAL RISK - Kishida To Deliver Address To Congress

US
  • President Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida described Kishida's official White House visit as “historic” in a joint statement formally announcing a raft of new measures to bolster cooperation on defence and security; space; advanced technology and economic cooperation; diplomacy and development; and people-to-people ties.
  • Today, Biden and Kishida will meet with Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. for a first-ever trilateral leaders’ summit – officially designed to “enhance economic and energy security, bolster maritime cooperation, invest in critical infrastructure, and deepen people-to-people ties,” but broadly viewed as a format to coordinate a response to China’s actions in the South China Sea.
  • Kishida will address joint meeting of Congress today at 10:35 ET 15:35 BST.
  • House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) met yesterday with right-wing Republican House Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) to discuss her plan oust him if he moves forward with a national security supplemental package to fund Ukraine.
  • The commander of US Central Command is expected to travel to Israel today to coordinate in advance of a possible attack from Iran or its proxies.
  • Poll of the Day: Voters who have an unfavourable opinion of both President Biden and former President Trump are slightly more likely to vote for Biden.
