The decision drew criticisms from top Democratic lawmakers, who objected to the substance of the decrees and, joint by several Republican colleagues, cried foul over alleged executive overreach. Questions surrounding the legality of the POTUS' actions and no firm conclusion to the fiscal spat between the White House and the Democrats in sight keep participants in the dark.
- Spiralling U.S.-China tensions provide another source of worry, as Washington sanctioned 11 Chinese and HK officials, including HK Chief Executive Carrie Lam & China's top representative in the city Xia Baolong. At the same time, U.S. Health Sec Azar starts his visit to Taiwan, in another move that will further test U.S. relations with mainland Beijing.
