President Trump’s big meeting with China’s President Xi Jinping is being called a success, but a lot of people are asking: Will China really stick to the deal?

A major sinkhole opened up at Exit 49 on the Long Island Expressway yesterday. Mark explained what caused it and said it’s a story to watch. Mark interviews Fox News contributor Liz Peek. Liz thinks Trump may have convinced Xi to get Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz, since Iran is such a close ally of China. But she says there was no official agreement signed. She also pointed out that China didn’t expect so many big-name CEOs (especially from tech) would show up with Trump, and she thinks Trump might have to get tough on Iran again to keep his word. On top of that, China is struggling with oil supply and new business. Palm Beach International Airport will be renamed Trump International Airport, which is sure to fire up the Democrats.
