\nPresident Biden \u2019s foreign policy is expected to take center stage during this week\u2019s Sunday talk shows as Democratic tensions in Washington boil up over immigration, Israel and other domestic issues. Biden is in the United Kingdom this weekend for the Group of Seven (G-7) summit, his first foreign trip as president. He met with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson for a bilateral meeting ahead of the summit on Thursday. On Friday, he held an informal meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron and met with Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, Johnson, Macron and Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Saturday. One of the administration\u2019s focuses this week was on China. Biden pressed G-7 leaders to call out China\u2019s forced labor practices during the summit Saturday in Cornwall, England. The G-7 leaders also unveiled the \u201cBack Better World\u201d initiative, a global infrastructure proposal meant to counter China\u2019s \u201cBelt and Road Initiative.\u201d As Biden was pressing the G-7 on China, Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke with Chinese diplomats on Friday over a range of issues that have divided the two countries. In the call with diplomat Yang Jiechi, the two got into heated exchanges over the origins of the coronavirus pandemic, democracy in Hong Kong, China\u2019s treatment of Uyghur Muslims and Taiwan. Blinken will appear on ABC\u2019s „This Week,“ CBS\u2019 \u201cFace the Nation\u201d and „Fox News Sunday.“ Back home, however, Democratic tensions are showing signs of boiling over amid conflicts over a host of issues. The latest clash featured Rep. Illhan Oman (D-Minn.), who feuded with fellow Democrats after she sought to condemn the U.S. military\u2019s support of Israel after 11 days of fighting between Israel and Hamas. Omar appeared to compare the U.S. and Israel to Hamas and the Taliban while discussing war crimes and lamenting \u201cunthinkable\u201d human rights \u201catrocities\u201d committed by a series of actors. The statement drew the ires of Jewish Democratic lawmakers, who dubbed Omar\u2019s statements \u201coffensive\u201d and misguided.\u201d By Thursday afternoon, Omar clarified that she was \u201cin no way equating terrorist organizations with democratic countries with well-established judicial systems.\u201d In a rare move, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) issued a statement with her full leadership team promoting the right to \u201clegitimate criticism,\u201d but denouncing \u201cfalse equivalencies\u201d between nations and terrorist groups. Pelosi, who will appear on CNN\u2019s \u201cState of the Union,\u201d later said she doesn\u2019t believe further action should be taken against Omar. Progressives also took aim at Vice President Harris during her first foreign trip as vice president to Guatemala and Mexico. Harris took the trip amid the administration\u2019s efforts to curb the flow of migrants heading to the southern border. While in Guatemala, Harris drew backlash after telling would-be migrants \u201cdo not come, do not come.\u201d \u201cI want to emphasize that the goal of our work is to help Guatemalans find hope at home. At the same time I want to be clear to folks in this region who are thinking about making that dangerous trek to the United States Mexico border: Do not come, do not come,“ Harris said. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-N.Y.) hit back at Harris, saying on Twitter \u201cwe can\u2019t help set someone\u2019s house on fire and then blame them for fleeing.\u201d Here’s the full lineup of Sunday show guests this week: ABC\u2019s \u201c This Week \u201d \u2014 Secretary of State Antony Blinken; Rep.
