China's Xi Jinping has expressed his readiness to work with President-elect Donald Trump, following his last meeting with current US President Joe Biden at the APEC forum in Peru. Biden emphasized the importance of maintaining a relationship of competition, not conflict, between the two nations, while Xi highlighted the principles of mutual respect and peaceful coexistence. Xi's statement comes despite Trump's proposed 60% tariffs on US imports of Chinese goods and the appointment of China hawks to his transition team. The leaders did not address the tariff issue, but Biden has previously stated that their conversations have always been candid and frank, preventing miscalculations and avoiding conflict.

Biden's $8 Billion Arms Sale to Israel: What You Need to Know

GazaIsraelUS PoliticsBiden AdministrationArms Sale

President Biden's administration has announced an $8 billion arms sale to Israel as fighting continues in Gaza.

The informal notice to Congress isn't the final notification before a sale, and the leaders of the House Foreign Affairs Committee or the Senate Foreign Relations Committee can review the package.
