Executive Summary:

  • US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo assured Chinese Premier Li Qiang today that the US does not seek to decouple with Beijing, as she continues her four-day tour of China.
  • Raimondo’s trip has already produced more tangible results than the three other recent cabinet-level trips to China. Raimondo and her counterpart Wang Wentao announced yesterday the establishment of two working groups to enhance the bilateral exchange of information and agreed to meet annually for discussions on US policy and commercial issues.
  • A US District Judge has set a March 4, 2024 trial date for the federal prosecution of former President Donald Trump's election interference case, setting up an unpredictable clash between Trump's legal and political calendars.
  • The Treasury Department has circulated a report outlining the economic benefits of labour unions as the Biden administration courts union votes ahead of 2024.
  • President Biden may sign a strategic partnership with Hanoi during a short stopover in Vietnam after the G-20 summit in India next month.
