The @POTUS-Xi dinner here was a “highly successful meeting," says @PressSec in statement and the Chinese president, "in a wonderful humanitarian gesture, has agreed to designate Fentanyl as a Controlled Substance."
And @POTUS agreed that on Jan. 1, he'll "leave tariffs on $200 billion worth of product at the 10% rate, and not raise it to 25% at this time," adds @PressSec.
"China will agree to purchase a not yet agreed upon, but very substantial, amount of agricultural, energy, industrial, and other product from the United States to reduce the trade imbalance between our two countries," according to @PressSec.

Dedicating this thread to Raza Rumi & ilk.

Thread on GREAT BB:

•Great democratic leader BB used EDHI's air ambulance for her election campaign and that too without the knowledge of Abdul Sattar Edhi.

2/N
• During 2nd tenure of BB, free hajj was accorded to 316 VIPs on Zakat fund

• During PPP 2008-13 tenure, free Hajj was accorded to 450 journalists (incl Asma Shirazi), politicians & other VIPs.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

This is going to be a long thread on why I am NOT going to vote for PTI. Please note: I am not saying that other parties are better or worse than PTI. This is just a critique on the politics of Imran Khan and PTI. #GeneralElections2018
1) "Absolutely deliberate - this was a deliberate targeting of the peace process" – Imran Khan on the death of Hakimullah Mehsud, the leader of TTP.
bbc.com/news/world-asi…
2) Imran Khan claimed that TTP commander and leader, Waliur Rehman was ‘pro-peace’. tribune.com.pk/story/560646/i… "Pro-peace" - really?

this is going to be a long thread about why i, a political scientist, am going to vote in the Pakistani General Elections on 25 July (and also other things) 1/N
for the past months I have felt incredibly conflicted about the repressive environment in Pakistan in the lead up to elections. this past week with so many lives lost, everything has felt utterly meaningless 2/N
i spent the better part of a year on a project on women’s voter turnout with amazing coauthors, the best survey team I’ve ever worked with, and dedicated partner orgs. but recently it has felt hollow in the face of bigger issues 3/N
