  • An important part of the newly announced US-China trade truce might already be in trouble in the Senate.

  • Democrat Chuck Schumer and Republicans Marco Rubio both said they oppose Trump's announcement, and Rubio said a large majority of the Senate would support a law backing up the Huawei ban.
