US House Speaker meets Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen in California amid rising tensions with China
US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen met at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California, where they pledged their commitment to their shared values and maintaining Taiwan's peaceful status quo. They also discussed regional challenges faced by Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific region, including China's continued aggression towards the island. The meeting has attracted criticism from Beijing, which had previously sent a threatening email to McCarthy and other members of Congress who planned to meet with Tsai, warning that China would "take necessary and resolute actions" if they continued with the meeting.

REUTERS — Trump, newly charged, urges defunding US Justice Department and FBI
Former President Donald Trump called on Republicans in Congress to cut funding for the U.S. Justice Department and the FBI, but his proposal is unlikely to be approved. Trump is facing two criminal investigations led by Special Counsel Jack Smith. One of the investigations focuses on attempts by Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 election, while the other focuses on classified documents that Trump retained after leaving office. The Manhattan district attorney has charged Trump with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records over allegations that he orchestrated payments to two women before the 2016 election. Trump declared himself the victim of election interference without offering evidence, and his arraignment is scheduled for December. Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said he does not agree with the charges brought against Trump, but it is uncertain how this will affect the legal proceedings.
