Quick Glance: Foreign Leaders Push for US Ukraine Aid, Republicans Turn to Trump

An unprecedented series of foreign officials, including from Japan, Britain, and Italy, have visited Washington in recent months, urging congressional Republicans to approve more military aid for Ukraine.

However, former President and current Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump might hold a different stance that these lawmakers could listen to.

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida called on lawmakers to overcome 'self-doubt' about the country's role on the world stage, warning that Ukraine's hopes would collapse without US support.

The visits of foreign leaders to Washington reflect deep anxieties, especially in Europe, about how long Ukraine can hold on without significant new help from Washington.

Quick Glance: Taiwan Rejects China's Aid Offer After Earthquake

Taiwanese authorities have not yet estimated the cost of recovering from the massive, deadly earthquake that hit the island on Wednesday.

China offered aid, but Taiwan swiftly turned it down due to their conflict-ridden relationship.

Taiwan's quick rejection likely stems from lingering bitterness over how the 1999 earthquake was handled.

China's aid always comes with conditions, leading to Taiwan's resistance based on distrust and military threats.

'Oppenheimer' finally premiered in Japan, eliciting mixed and highly emotional reactions from Japanese filmgoers.
