Talking Points

From West Wing Wiki

On the eve of the President's visit to a controversial trade summit in Brussels, Josh feels torn when he learns that free-trader Bartlet will reverse his position about sacrificing American jobs to foreign lands -- while C.J. takes out her frustrations with a new FCC ruling allowing multimedia companies increased ownership of TV stations. As the administration fights to spin the job-loss fallout, Donna tells Josh about her dissatisfaction with her limited role on his staff. In the midst of it all, Kate Harper steps in as the brash new Deputy National Security Advisor.
