That was Bloomberg's Jomana Persechi on Bloomberg's This Weekend.
We go next to Ukraine, where there was a major escalation overnight as Russia confirmed its military fired a hypersonic Orestnik missile near Kyiv.
This was part of an attack involving approximately 90 missiles and 600 drones.
Now, Ukraine's air force said that most of the missiles and drones were shot down.
Meantime, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that two people were killed and over 80 others injured, and he called for solutions from the U.S.
and from Europe.
The U.S.
has paused a $14 billion arms sale to Taiwan.
More on that from Bloomberg's Monica Ricks.
Senate Republicans are blasting President Trump's so-called anti-weaponization fund.
Trump is aiming to use this fund to compensate allies that he claims were mistreated by the Biden administration, and that would include January 6th rioters.
Republican Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania and Democratic Congressman Tom Suozzi of New York are teaming up to introduce the first bill that tries to block this fund.
Suozzi says the fund is just wrong.
That was Democratic Congressman Tom Suozzi on ABC This Week.
On the same program, Congressman Fitzpatrick said his GOP House colleagues are on board, too.
Now, this comes as GOP incumbents who have opposed the president have lost primaries recently to Trump backed challengers.
That would include Representative Thomas Massey of Kentucky and Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana.
The Secret Service has identified the gunman who opened fire outside the White House yesterday as 21-year-old Nazir Best.
They have yet to determine a cause for this shooting.
Now, last July, Best was arrested for walking into a restricted area on White House grounds, and he had been known to the Secret Service for walking around the complex and asking how to gain access.
