The GOP's Unity Is About To Face A Major Test

President Trump has been working at a swift pace in order to lay out all his policy initiatives in his first 100 days in office. One of those was his cost-cutting Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, headed up by SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

Evening Edition: Rethinking Gaza Following War

President Trump, standing alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, proposed the possibility of the United States assuming control of Gaza to lead in its rebuilding efforts. The President suggested the Palestinian people be resettled somewhere else while the complete routing out of Hamas and the infrastructure rebuilding take place. The idea was immediately rejected by Arab nations of Egypt and Jordan, two nations President Trump has tried to convince to take in more Palestinians. FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Richard Goldberg, Senior Advisor for the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, who says while there was some shock over President Trump's comments, we should not be shocked about him thinking differently about the Israeli-Palestinian long running conflict.

President Donald Trump imposed ten percent tariffs on Chinese imports earlier this week, just a day after the tariffs on Canada and Mexico were put on a 30-day pause.

New York City Special Narcotics prosecutor Bridget Brennan explains how chemical sales from China circumvent the legal system and worsen the fentanyl crisis.
