And I think what we are hoping for is that we want to make sure we never get to that point, she said when asked about the U.S. providing troop support to Taiwan in a potential invasion.
On Wednesday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent sought to do some damage control. It doesn't appear to be working yet. Understanding what's happening with the dollar now traces back to early 2025, when the greenback hit a multi-year high relative to other currencies just days before Trump's return to the White House.

This is the kind of weekend that makes you wonder if things will ever feel good again, said Jimmy Kimmel on Monday evening, after a couple days of horrific news: the terror attack at a Hanukkah celebration on Australia's Bondi Beach, a mass shooting at Brown University in Rhode Island, and the murder of one of our greatest directors and patriots, Rob Reiner, and his wife, Michele Reiner.
