Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is cutting short his trip to Asia to focus on the crisis in Israel. He will return to New York City on Thursday evening and receive a classified briefing, meet with community leaders, and attend Shabbat. Schumer's decision comes as a bipartisan congressional delegation visiting Beijing expressed hope for talks with China on its role in the fentanyl crisis. The Biden administration has recently taken action against China-based firms and executives involved in the supply of chemicals used to make fentanyl. In a separate development, the US has accepted China's invitation to attend a top annual security forum in Beijing, signaling potentially warming ties between the two countries.
