President Trump leaves tonight for a jam-packed multi-day trip to Asia. The trip includes a high-stakes sit-down with Chinese President Xi Jinping [[ she jeen-peeng ]] in South Korea. China and the U.S. have been involved in a trade standoff since Trump took office for the second time.

The Senate is adjourned until Monday after failing to pass spending legislation for a 12th time earlier this week. Canada is pushing pause on its TV ad about tariffs after President Trump's reaction. Trump announced he was halting trade talks with Canada after the ad that used former President Reagan's warnings about tariffs started airing. Today, Ontario Premier Doug Ford said he's pausing the ad after the first two World Series games "so that trade talks can resume." The Canadian prime minister already left for Asia, where he was scheduled to meet-up with Trump in Malaysia to discuss trade. A popular cholesterol drug is being recalled over its effectiveness. Ascend Laboratories says it's recalling over 140-thousand bottles of its generic drug for Lipitor because the pills may not dissolve properly and be less effective.

The Blue Jays will host the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers tonight for game one of the Fall Classic. The game starts at 8 p.m. Eastern.
