Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announces details for the impeachment trial against former President Donald Trump with the start of arguments to begin February 9, giving the Senate time to confirm President Joe Bidenâs Cabinet.
President Biden supports Senator Schumer's call for new elections in Israel amid strained relations over the Gaza conflict. Schumer's criticism of PM Netanyahu's leadership reverberates in both nations. Biden's measured response reflects frustration with Netanyahu's hindrance of humanitarian efforts. Tensions rise over Israeli military operations in Rafah. The U.S. seeks a clear plan to protect civilians while facilitating ceasefire talks.

Ukraine has entered a
"transitional phase" of the war.
Russia is conducting probing
attacks along the front line. It is
trying to advance where it can. And
it is preparing what seems to be a
future offensive down the road, Franz-Stefan Gady, an associate fellow at the
International Institute for Strategic Studies, to CNN.
This year, Ukraine really needs U.S.
support. Thereâs certain weapons
systems, certain logistical support
which the European countries
simply cannot provide to Ukraine, Franz-Stefan Gady, an associate fellow at the
International Institute for Strategic Studies, to CNN

This Day in History: , The United States Officially Enters World War I.
April 6, 1917.
War against Germany was
declared in both the Senate and
House of Representatives by votes
of 82-6 and 373-50, respectively.
President Woodrow Wilson had called for
the declaration of war four days earlier.
The U.S. had been preparing for
war since the passage of a $250 million arms
appropriations bill in Feb.

American public opinion shifted as German
attacks on ocean liners escalated.

forces proved to be a turning point in
the war after four years of bloody combat

Itâs a great business and Iâm going
to put together a group to buy TikTok, Steven Mnuchin, Former Treasury Secretary, via CNBCâs âSquawk Boxâ.
This should be owned by

something like this in China, Steven Mnuchin, Former Treasury Secretary, via CNBCâs âSquawk Boxâ.

before it heads to President Joe Biden, who has indicated

Biden will call on U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai to triple tariffs on Chinese
steel and aluminum, NPR reports. .
Those tariffs are presently at about 7.5%.
While these Chinese imports "account for less than 1% of U.S. demand," the country's steel prices are 40% cheaper than America's, NPR reports. .
The White House is concerned that
this could prompt a surge of exports. .
China's policy-driven overcapacity poses
a serious risk to the future of the
American steel and aluminum industry, Lael Brainard, Biden's top economic adviser, via NPR.
The president understands
we must invest in American
manufacturing, but we also have
to protect those investments and
those workers from unfair exports. , Lael Brainard, Biden's top economic adviser, via NPR.
The Biden administration also sent officials to Mexico to discuss preventing Chinese steel from entering the U.S. via its southern neighbor. .
I want to emphasize our desire to
cooperate and partner with Mexico
on addressing imports coming in
to the North American market as
a way of circumventing tariffs, Senior administration official, via NPR.
I'm not going to get ahead
of the diplomatic conversations
that have happened today and
that will be happening in the
days and weeks to come. , Senior administration official, via NPR.
But I think we're hoping to come to
a mutually acceptable solution with
Mexico, because this is a problem that
affects both of our economies, Senior administration official, via NPR.

House Republican leaders have lambasted President Joe Biden for his perceived inaction in enforcing existing measures against Iran. Representative Steve Scalise, the No. 2 House Republican, voiced concerns over the administration's policies allegedly facilitating Iran's oil sales, which fund terrorism. The Biden administration faces mounting pressure to deter future attacks without exacerbating regional tensions or antagonising China, a major buyer of Iranian oil.
