US, China Reach TikTok ‘Consensus,’ Setting Up Trump-Xi Call
Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.President Donald Trump said he would speak with Chinese leader Xi Jinping on Friday as US and Chinese officials reached a framework deal on keeping the TikTok app running in the US.It would be the first direct engagement between Trump and Xi since June.“I will be speaking to President Xi on Friday. The relationship remains a very strong one!!!,” Trump said in a post on social media Monday. Referring to a meeting of top officials between the two nations in Madrid, Trump also said that the session “has gone VERY WELL!”US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who led the talks in Spain, told reporters that a framework to keep ByteDance Ltd.’s TikTok app running in the US had been reached. China’s Vice Commerce Minister Li Chenggang also told reporters in Madrid that a framework of “consensus” had been reached on TikTok, while cautioning that Beijing won’t sacrifice principles for a deal.The terms of the blueprint, and whether they would satisfy the requirements of a US national security law that took effect in January, remain unclear. But a US official emphasized that some arrangement was crucial in order for Trump and Xi to have their first in-person tête-à-tête later this year.Had there been no deal on TikTok, a Trump-Xi meeting on the sidelines of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation gathering in South Korea late next month would have been off the table, the official said. A Trump state visit to China would also have been off the table, the official added, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive issue.Today's show features: Bloomberg News White House Reporter Skylar Woodhouse on President Donald Trump and Xi Jinping’s expected talks Friday, and the potential for a resolution to the TikTok saga Yelena Shulyatyeva, Senior US Economist for The Conference Board, on this week’s FOMC policy meeting Bloomberg Businessweek Senior Reporter Max Chafkin on Elon Musk’s $1 billion Tesla stock purchase Brent Schutte, Chief Investment Officer of Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management on the outlook for US monetary policy See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

CDC’s Total Overhaul Takes Shape
Since it was established almost 80 years ago, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been considered the gold standard for public health. For generations, the world has looked to the agency for guidance during dangerous disease outbreaks, with its website frequently bookmarked by physicians across the country looking for science-backed recommendations.But in the months since Robert F. Kennedy Jr. took over the Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees the CDC, the agency has been thrown into disarray. HHS laid off thousands of CDC employees in April, including people studying chronic disease—Kennedy’s central issue—before bringing back some workers as a result of various lawsuits.Dr. Richard E. Besser, President and CEO of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, offers his view on the potential dangers that come with the overhaul at the CDC. Dr. Besser speaks with Carol Massar, Tim Stenovec and Bloomberg News Health Reporter Jessica Nix on Bloomberg Businessweek Daily.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
