U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are holding face-to-face for the first time since Trump returned to office, with energy expected to be a top-tier issue. Ben Storrow from POLITICO’s E&E News breaks down the stakes of this high-tension meeting, the two countries’ contrasting energy strategies and the stakes for the global energy landscape. Plus, the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee advanced President Donald Trump’s pick for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission along with a slate of other nominees and largely bipartisan energy measures.
