About this episode
First: Donald Trump is putting the world on notice by threatening a trade war with Colombia until that country agreed to work with him to deport migrants from the US. His strong arm tactics worked ... but will they next time?
Plus: It's Pete Hegseth's first official day at the Pentagon, and we're expecting him to receive multiple executive orders from President Trump that will reshape the military, including a ban on transgender troops.
And: Tech stocks plunge after a surprise announcement from a Chinese AI startup that appears to threaten companies here in the US and has national security experts on edge.
