Purpose of President's Trip to China

from Wisconsin's Midday News

Meidas Touch Chief Washington Correspondent Scott MacFarlane talks about the purpose of the President's two-day trip to China. Is this more about navigating the war with Iran or negotiating future trade agreements? What does a successful trip look like? Does the inclusion of Elon and Tim Cook make it feel less like a Presidential visit and more like a business meeting? Does that matter? President Trump is endorsing a temporary suspension of the federal gas tax to provide some relief at the pump. Are lawmakers spring into action or meeting this idea with resistance and skepticism? That federal gas tax is in place to fund highway construction, are lawmakers concerned about defunding this dedicated revenue source for the highways?
