In April, this was a concern that, you know, if this deal was still out and really open for negotiation, that Xi Jinping could get Trump to back down on some of these key things that the Taiwanese want.

The underpinning of the U.S.-Taiwan relationship is this military relationship.

The U.S.

is Taiwan's main military backer, and Taiwan is worried that if the U.S.

is no longer as dependent on Taiwan, that that could change the balance of that relationship.

However, a win for Taiwan here is they did get this agreement finalized before Trump's scheduled meeting to go to meet with Xi Jinping.

in April.

This was a concern that, you know, if this deal was still out and really open for negotiation, that Xi Jinping could get Trump to back down on some of these key things that the Taiwanese want.

You know, we're starting to see, you know, Republicans really come out.

Against some of the tariffs, there was a lot of vote no, hope yes yesterday among House Republicans in terms of, you know, wanting to see this, you know, not wanting to stand out and specifically rebuke the president.

But they're recognizing that there's a messaging issue with voters that, you know, voters are not happy with the economy.

They think prices are too high and they recognize that tariffs are contributing to a piece of that.

This really kind of goes to show just how difficult it has been to find suspects in this case.

There was a slight breakthrough when the FBI released a video from a Nest camera on Nancy Guthrie's door that showed a masked individual with a backpack trying to dismantle the camera there.

But it's unclear exactly how close they are to actually finding the perpetrator behind this incident.

Some Republicans in Congress, including Lisa Murkowski and Tom Tillis, both senators have said that they think that she should step down.

In the House side, we've seen a growing effort from Democrats to move to impeach her.

That really faces long odds.

Republicans have asked for Democrats to put together a list of their demands, of their asks, of what they need to see in this bill be changed.

They're looking to see if there's any sort of off ramp that if these Democratic demands could be met by executive orders or some other actions to avoid a shutdown on Friday night at midnight going into Saturday.
