Istanbul stocks slump and the lira tumbles even further after Trump authorizes doubling of tariffs on Turkish steel and aluminum.
White House cites Turkey’s steel and aluminum exports as nat’l security threat.

“Tariffs are imposed on imports from particular countries whose exports threaten to impair national security as defined in Section 232, independent of negotiations on trade or any other matter.”

Pence, in a briefing with reporters, says he's hopeful the shutdown can be resolved, but Democratic leaders need to accept Trump's invitation to come back to the WH this week "and start negotiating."
The reason Trump is asking for more money now for the border than in his proposed budget is because "things have gotten a lot worse," Pence says. Even the @washingtonpost reported over the weekend there's a "bonafide" crisis, he says.
Pence told reporters the Trump administration wants statutory change to allow children to apply for asylum at embassies in other countries, which would require personnel changes at State Dept.

BREAKING: Trump has discussed firing Federal Reserve chief Jerome Powell as his frustration has intensified after this week’s interest-rate increase and months of stock-market losses.

Advisers close to Trump aren’t convinced he will try to do it, but say he wants to.
Trump has talked privately about wanting to fire the Fed chair many times in past few days.

Any such attempt would have potentially devastating ripple effects on markets, undermining investors’ confidence in Fed’s ability to shepherd the economy without political interference.
It’s unclear how much legal authority the president has to fire Jay Powell.

And at least one of Trump’s economic advisers, Kudlow, has said a president can’t fire Federal Reserve chair without cause.

That hasn’t stopped Trump from expressing his desire to get rid of Powell.

"After cheating the IRS for years, lying to banks and to Congress, and seeking to criminally influence the presidential election, Cohen’s decision to plead guilty--rather than seek a pardon for his manifold crimes--does not make him a hero," NY prosecutors said in court papers.
MICHAEL COHEN in court: "I take full responsibility for each act."
COHEN, audibly emotional, says to people of US: "You deserve to know the truth and lying to you was unjust.”

Trump "publicly mocks me, calling me a rat and a liar.''

Cohen says wants to ensure that when history of Trump is written Cohen not recorded as "villain of his story."

"Trump has used Harley-Davidson as an example of a US business that is being harmed by trade barriers. Yet Harley has warned consistently against tariffs, saying they would negatively impact sales"

Harley, hit by tariffs, shifts some production overseas apnews.com/6c8942f7363743…
Important issue highlighted by @riotwomennn: are tariff exemptions determined by bribes?

Corker: "22,000 companies have asked for exemptions.There is no basis to deal with them. Are they going to grant these exclusions based on political contributions?"
Trump’s trade war with the European Union is going to cost Harley-Davidson as much as $100 million a year and force the manufacturer to shift production out of the U.S. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
