Trump Addresses Suspected Russia Plague: 'In Very Deep Discussions'
On this edition of "Balance of Power," which examines the intersection of politics and global business, Lauren French, a senior advisor to the Senate Majority PAC, explains that the PAC is now making spending decisions on a week-by-week basis after withdrawing from North Carolina. She notes the group is closely monitoring races in Kansas, South Carolina and Mississippi as it recalibrates its midterm strategy. Retired U.S. Air Force Gen. Charles Wald also joins the program to discuss threats against U.S. military bases, saying such threats are not unusual. He argues that the departure of B-1 bombers from RAF Fairford is being depicted "a little bit out of context" and characterizes the move as a smart precaution. Wald also highlights the growing drone threat, which he says is receiving significant attention from the U.S. military, and suggests the U.S. can learn from the creativity Ukraine has demonstrated in its use of drones during the war. The segment also touches on President Trump's comment that the suspected Russia plague situation is "in very deep discussions," underscoring how global health and security concerns are overlapping with the political and business landscape ahead of the midterms.
