Latest From Ukraine: Russian Defenses Retreat Kherson & What A GOP Majority Could Mean For U.S. Aid
Ukraine Update & GOP Push Back 11.14.22
Last week’s midterm elections had major implications domestically in fact but they may impact the way in which our country handles things abroad.

Comments made by GOP congressional leader Kevin McCarthy have suggested there can be more limits to assist to Ukraine, although he did soon cut back his remarks.
Today on AirTalk, we dig into what a possible GOP-led House could mean for Ukrainian aid with Recent York Times chief diplomatic correspondent Steven Erlanger, and we also get an update on Russia’s war in Ukraine with Kyiv Independent reporter Asami Terajima.

Biden China Talks 11.14.22
The highlight of Biden’s seven-day, round-the-world trip to Asia, was the nearly three hour sit-down meeting with Chinese President Xi Jingping. It got here at a critical juncture for the 2 countries amid increasing economic and security tensions. Speaking at a news conference afterward, Biden said that on the subject of China the U.S. would “compete vigorously, but I’m not on the lookout for conflict.” He added: “I absolutely consider there needn’t be a latest Cold War” with the rising Asian power. President Joe Biden objected to China’s “coercive and increasingly aggressive actions” toward Taiwan and the leaders of the 2 superpowers aimed to “manage” differences between their nations as they compete for global influence.
Joining us today on AirTalk to discus U.S.-China relations is Steven Erlanger, chief diplomatic correspondent for The Recent York Times and Alex Wang, professor of law at UCLA who teaches Chinese law and politics.
