President Donald Trump traveled through Asia this week, sitting down for a high-stakes meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, which he described as “truly great,” while Americans at home bore the brunt of the ongoing government shutdown, which is entering its second month.Democrats now find themselves in a bind as they have succeeded in framing health care as the issue at the heart of the stalemate but are grappling with the lapse of federal food assistance for millions of Americans set to begin Saturday.The shutdown is also likely to lead to more flight delays as the Federal Aviation Administration grapples with staffing shortages. At the same time, federal employees are working without pay, and food banks are bracing for a surge in demand.The president, though, seems to have his mind focused elsewhere as he instructed the Pentagon to immediately resume testing of nuclear weapons to ensure the U.S. keeps up with its rivals.“With others doing testing, I think it’s appropriate that we do also,” he told reporters after departing South Korea to return to the U.S.The Trump administration is continuing to add pressure on Venezuela, with the country’s authoritarian leader, Nicolás Maduro, now accusing the U.S. of “fabricating a new eternal war.”See previous updates here, and read the latest below:Trump Could Appear On '60 Minutes': SemaforAfter suing Paramount over a "60 Minutes" interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump could be slated to appear on the CBS News program later this year, according to a Semafor report.The White House and "60 Minutes" are reportedly in talks about a possible sit-down, which would come as CBS appears headed in a more conservative direction.Earlier this year, Trump settled a lawsuit against CBS's parent company, Paramount, over allegations that a "60 Minutes" interview with Harris was deceptively edited. As part of the settlement, Paramount agreed to pay $16 million and publish transcripts of future "60 Minutes" conversations with presidential candidates.Since then, Skydance Media has completed its merger with Paramount and taken steps that signal a rightward trajectory for CBS. The company is poised to elevate Bari Weiss, a polarizing right-leaning figure to the network's editor-in-chief, according to Semafor, and it's also hired a news ombudsman who was once a Trump nominee.A spokesperson for the White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment and CBS declined comment.
