Wednesday on the News Hour, President Trump meets with Syria’s new leader, a man who previously led a U.S.-designated terrorist group. Republicans push ahead on the president’s spending and tax cuts despite opposition from Democrats and some within their own party. Plus, we speak with autistic Americans and their families about how RFK Jr. is influencing the way people think about the condition.
