Trump International Hotel in DC Hub for Deals
"In July 2018, a wealthy Iraqi sheikh named Nahro al-Kasnazan wrote letters to NSA John Bolton & Secretary of State Mike Pompeo urging them to forge closer ties w those seeking to overthrow government of Iran."
washingtonpost.com/politics/a-wea…
""Kasnazan wrote of his desire “to achieve our mutual interest to weaken the Iranian Mullahs regime and end its hegemony.”"
"Four months later, he checked into the Trump International Hotel in Washington and spent 26 nights in a suite on the eighth floor — a visit estimated to have cost tens of thousands of dollars."

""Troll slayer" and journalist Lyudmila Savchuk when undercover at a troll factory for two and a half months to see how it works.Savchuk found that the organization was broken up into departments: "news division," the "social media seeders", and

a group dedicated to producing visual memes known as "demotivators."The operation was run by a local restaurateur who was placed under US sanctions for attempting to interfere with US elections.""
"Savchuk believed her work would help Facebook understand how its platform could be gamed, but no longer believes the fight against trolls is winnable."

A US Navy image showed the Russian destroyer Admiral Vinogradov (l) sailing close to the USS Chancellorsville

bbc.com/news/amp/world…
US Seventh Fleet Commander Clayton Doss called the Russians "unsafe and unprofessional", saying their destroyer "made an unsafe manoeuvre against USS Chancellorsville". He dismissed the Russian allegation as "propaganda".
Two warships; two narratives - but one very real chance of accident or potential injury. There is simply no reason for vessels of this size to be in such close proximity.

As the first CDU prime minister, Saxony's country chief Michael Kretschmer demanded an end to the sanctions against Russia on Friday. "We have to reduce these sanctions gradually," he said in an interview with the news agency dpa.

An important issue in St Petersburg: The Gazprom pipeline "Nord Stream 2" , which arrives in Schwesig's state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in Germany; a large part of the gas should flow out of Germany by 2020 from Kretschmer's state of Saxony.
According to Gazprom, there were further discussions with the German company BASF, whose subsidiary Wintershall has invested almost one billion euros in the refinancing of the pipeline.

Trump said today that Putin had assured him by telephone that Russia is "not looking at all to get involved in Venezuela." Here's what Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said yesterday.
(This isn't some idle gotcha. US officials have been using the Russian presence - and, to a lesser degree, Cuba's - in rhetoric about Washington keeping military options for Venezuela on the table. So what the president says about this could matter a great deal.)
Update to this. White House's @presssec, asked about these dueling comments, replies: "The president was relaying what President Putin said to him that's it."

When @JZarif says, "#Iran never raced towards a bomb, nor will it race towards a bomb," rest assured it is the exact opposite.
We will realize how Tehran sought nuclear arms for decades. For a country sitting on an ocean of oil & gas, a "peaceful" nuclear program is meaningless.
A very telling cartoon about #NorthKorea & #Iran, as Pyongyang signals indications to set aside its nuclear weapons/ballistic missile program. This is leaving Tehran as now sole target of the international community's soon-to-come pressures.
For those who describe #Iran's FM @JZarif as a "moderate" or "reformist"

"We will exit the NPT. / We will launch advanced enrichment," he says in response to Trump's May 12th #IranDeal deadline.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
