President Trump touched down in Japan on Monday, as he treks across Asia for a series of high-stakes meetings. He paid a short visit to the nation's emperor before retiring for the night.
En route from Malaysia, Trump predicted a "successful transaction" during his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping this week, while also telling reporters he'd "love" to remain in office for a third term and remained open to a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
Over the weekend, in Kuala Lumpur, he oversaw the signing of a renewed peace deal between Cambodia and Thailand, and also signed trade deals with both countries and Malaysia.
Back in Washington, funding for food stamps has moved to the center of the shutdown fight.
More than 40 million low-income food stamp beneficiaries are expected to receive less help with grocery bills — or no help at all — as the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is threatening to withhold billions of dollars in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) contingency funding.
The Senate will return to Capitol Hill on the 27th day of the government shutdown. Pressure has reached a fever pitch across the country as more polls show Americans blaming Trump and Republicans for failing to reopen the federal government.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) will host his regular press conference at 10 a.m., however, the House is still out of session. The Senate will reconvene at 3 p.m.
