Trump And Xi Prepare For Meeting On Trade Deal

U.S. and Chinese officials say a trade deal between the world’s two largest economies is drawing closer. The sides have reached an initial consensus for President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping to aim to finalize during their high-stakes meeting Thursday in South Korea. Any agreement would be a relief to international markets. Trump's treasury secretary says discussions with China yielded preliminary agreements to stop the precursor chemicals for fentanyl from coming into the United States. Scott Bessent also says Beijing would make “substantial” purchases of soybean and other agricultural products while putting off export controls on rare earth elements needed for advanced technologies.

Air Travel Turmoil: Flight Delays Skyrocket Amid Gov't Shutdown

Air travel turmoil deepened with more than 1,660 flights delayed nationwide on Monday and more than 8,600 delays on Sunday, with air traffic controller absences surging amid a federal government shutdown now in its 27th day. The Federal Aviation Administration cited staffing shortages affecting flights across the Southeast and at Newark Airport in New Jersey, while the FAA imposed a ground delay at Los Angeles International that delayed flights by an average of 25 minutes. Southwest Airlines had 45%, or 2,000, of its flights delayed on Sunday, while American Airlines had nearly 1,200, or a third, of its flights delayed, according to FlightAware, a flight-tracking website. United Airlines had 24%, or 739, of its flights delayed and Delta Air Lines had 17%, or 610, of its flights delayed. A U.S. Department of Transportation official said 44% of Sunday’s delays stemmed from controller absences — up sharply from the usual 5%. Roughly 13,000 air traffic controllers and 50,000 Transportation Security Administration officers must work without pay and will miss their first full paycheck on Tuesday. The mounting delays and cancellations are fueling public frustration and intensifying scrutiny of the shutdown’s impact, raising pressure on lawmakers to resolve the budget impasse.

Wisconsin Planned Parenthood Resumes Offering Abortions

Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin has resumed offering abortions after a nearly monthlong pause due to federal Medicaid funding cuts in President Donald Trump’s tax and spending bill that took effect at the beginning of October. Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin said it was able to resume offering abortions as of noon on Monday because it relinquished its status as an “essential community provider.” The organization says by doing that, it no longer fits the definition of a “prohibited entity” under the federal law and can receive Medicaid funds. Abortion funding has been under attack across the U.S., particularly for Planned Parenthood affiliates, which are the biggest provider.

USDA warns food aid payments will not go out Nov. 1

The Trump administration is warning that federal food aid will not be distributed on November 1 if the government shutdown continues. The U.S. Department of Agriculture posted a notice late Thursday saying SNAP benefits could be delayed unless Congress reaches a funding deal in the next few days. The White House blames Democrats for the impasse, saying they are refusing to negotiate unless Republicans agree to extend certain health care subsidies under the Affordable Care Act — a demand the administration calls unrelated to reopening the government. Officials also confirmed the administration will not use $5 billion in contingency funds to keep benefits flowing, saying that money is reserved for “true national emergencies.” If no deal is reached soon, millions of Americans could see their food assistance interrupted starting next month.
