Trump<\/a>\u00a0has assured Arab leaders that he will not allow\u00a0Israel<\/a>\u00a0to annex the already occupied West Bank,\u00a0<\/strong>sources told NBC News, amid fears of retaliation from the U.S. ally after a host of countries moved to\u00a0recognize Palestinian statehood<\/a>.
Trump made the comments Tuesday, according to two sources who were in the room, as he\u00a0presented his 21-point plan for peace<\/a>\u00a0in the Middle East to Arab leaders\u00a0<\/strong>gathered in New York for\u00a0<\/strong>the United Nations General Assembly. The comments were first reported by\u00a0Politico<\/a>.
Trump\u2019s special envoy\u00a0Steve Witkoff\u00a0<\/a>said the meeting with leaders from countries including Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Egypt and Turkey was \u201cproductive.\u201d He said a breakthrough could be imminent in efforts to bring an end to the war in the Gaza Strip, where Israel has continued a\u00a0deadly military campaign to take over Gaza City<\/a>.

Trump is set to meet with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif at the White House later this afternoon after hosting a separate bilateral meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan this morning.
The meeting with Sharif comes after the U.S. and Pakistan announced in late July that they had reached a trade deal<\/a> that Pakistan said would lead to lower tariffs on exports.
Trump said the agreement entailed both countries working together to develop the Asian nation’s oil reserves.
In June, Pakistan said that it would recommend Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize<\/a>, citing the president’s efforts to bring an end to the conflict between Pakistan and India.

When Michigan state Sen. Mallory McMorrow decided in February that she wanted to run for an open U.S. Senate seat, she conveyed her intentions to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. But the committee asked her to hold off, according to three sources familiar with the conversations.
In that call and subsequent ones, some of which took place at the staff level, DSCC officials didn\u2019t explicitly ask her not to run, but \u201cthey were slow-walking,\u201d said one source who discussed the private conversations on condition of anonymity. \u201cIt was, \u2018Can you wait a little longer, can you wait?\u2019\u201d
In early April, McMorrow defied their wishes and launched her campaign<\/a>, inveighing against \u201cthe same old crap in Washington\u201d and highlighting polls that showed the Democratic Party\u2019s approval rating at an all-time low.
\u201cWe need new leaders,\u201d she said in her launch video. \u201cBecause the same people in D.C. who got us into this mess are not going to be the ones to get us out of it.\u201d
Whether she intended it or not, the 39-year-old McMorrow started a trend of Democratic outsiders end-running party leaders to launch their campaigns, sometimes in explicit opposition to them. The movement is fueled by a crisis of confidence among Democratic voters in their own party, which is giving encouragement to the types of nontraditional candidates who have been walloped by leadership-aligned rivals in the past.

With a government shutdown looming, the Trump administration is threatening to fire federal employees if a deal isn\u2019t reached in less than a week. Usually, if the government shuts down, some workers go on unpaid leave, but the White House is now raising the stakes, saying additional jobs will be lost. NBC\u2019s Ryan Nobles reports for “TODAY.”

China\u00a0led several countries in announcing new climate plans yesterday following a veiled rebuke of the\u00a0U.S. president\u2019s anti-climate rhetoric<\/a>\u00a0a day earlier at the\u00a0U.N. General Assembly.
Addressing a climate leaders\u2019 summit hosted by U.N. Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres, Chinese President\u00a0Xi Jinping\u00a0said in a live video message from Beijing that by 2035, his country would cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 7% to 10% from their peak.
In addition, Xi said China planned to increase its wind and solar power capacity by six times its 2020 levels within the next 10 years \u2014 helping to increase its share of nonfossil fuels in domestic energy consumption to over 30%.
China\u2018s reduction target marked the first time the world\u2019s biggest emitter pledged a cut in emissions, rather than just limiting their growth, though the reduction was less than many observers had expected.

The escalator escalation keeps escalating.
Trump has demanded an investigation into what he called a \u201ctriple sabotage\u201d\u00a0at the United Nations General Assembly<\/a>, including\u00a0his unsubstantiated allegation that an escalator was deliberately halted<\/a>\u00a0while he and first lady Melania Trump were riding it.
The U.N. says the escalator was likely stopped when a White House videographer\u00a0accidentally triggered a safety mechanism<\/a>. Nonetheless, Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres\u2019 office said late Wednesday that it had ordered a \u201cthorough investigation\u201d into the three incidents mentioned by Trump, and was \u201cready to cooperate in full transparency\u201d to find out what caused them.

Trump<\/a> will hold talks with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan at the White House this morning as the Republican leader has indicated that the U.S. government\u2019s hold on sales of advanced fighter jets to Ankara may soon be lifted.
During Trump\u2019s first term, the United States kicked out Turkey,<\/a> a NATO ally, from its flagship F-35 fighter jet program after it purchased an air defense system from Russia. U.S. officials worried that Turkey\u2019s use of Russia\u2019s S-400 surface-to-air missile system could be used to gather data on the capabilities of the F-35 and that the information could end up in Russian hands.
But Trump last week gave Turkey hope that a resolution to the matter is near as he announced plans for Erdogan\u2019s visit.

Trump is expected to sign a deal today to facilitate\u00a0the sale of TikTok\u00a0<\/a>from a Chinese-based company to a group of American investors, two senior White House officials told NBC News.
Members of the Trump administration have signaled for days that a deal was being finalized between Chinese and U.S. officials.
A senior White House official confirmed to NBC News on Wednesday that once the deal was implemented, TikTok\u2019s U.S. operations would be run by a new joint-venture company. ByteDance, TikTok\u2019s current China-based owner, will hold less than 20% of the stock of the new company, the official said.
