President Joe Biden will speak by phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on April 4, three days after an Israeli airstrike killed seven World Central Kitchen aid workers. The White House said President Biden was “outraged and heartbroken” by the attack, but the president has made no fundamental change in the United States’ steadfast support for Israel in its conflict against the Hamas terrorist group in Gaza.

NATO is marking 75 years of collective defense across Europe and North America, with its top diplomats vowing to stay the course in Ukraine as better-armed Russian troops assert control on the battlefield. The anniversary comes as the now-32-nation alliance weighs a plan to provide more predictable, longer-term military support to Ukraine.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has arrived in China for a 6-day visit, a trip she said was necessary to “advance America’s economic and national security interests.” Ms. Yellen landed in the southern Chinese export hub of Guangzhou. The Treasury Department said her trip, the second in less than a year, aims to press her Chinese counterparts on Washington’s concerns about the regime’s “unfair trade practices” and “industrial overcapacity,” which pose a threat to economies around the world.
