BREAKING: In tweets, President Trump says US was prepared to retaliate against Iran on 3 sites last night, but when he was advised of potential for “150 people” to be killed, he stopped the strike, saying it would not be proportional to the shooting down of an unmanned US drone.
"I am in no hurry," President Trump added on his decision to cancel retaliatory strikes on Iran last night.

President Trump says of Iran sanctions: "Sanctions are biting & more added last night."
The US government's decision-making on responding to Iran is being done without a Defense secretary, and the acting Defense secretary has been expected to depart that role today after he withdrew from consideration for the permanent role Tuesday.

Ta-Nehisi Coates discusses Joe Biden's comments on segregationists:

"Those very polite relationships were premised on the fact that those people's deeply deplorable views actually disenfranchised an entire sector of the electorate."
"You work in a Capitol that was built by enslaved people. You are there enjoying the benefits of their labor."

1. Iran releases video of their shooting down the United States' RQ-4A, the $180 Million dollar unmanned drone which was patrolling the straights to keep commercial shipping lanes safe from attack.
2. The Pentagon had hours earlier shown a map indicating that the drone was shot down in international waters.
3. Notice that the Iranian video has falsely centered the white circle, not around where the drone was shot down: Screen shot from Iranian video (1., above).

#Breaking du @financialtimes:1 nouvelle fois, en novembre 2018 au #G20, #Trump, qui avait annulé leur entrevue officielle, s'est entretenu officieusement avec #Poutine pendant 15 minutes au moins. Sans traducteur US ni staff. La diplomatie de #Trump est-elle bien celle des USA?👇
2) Le président US #Trump annule l'entrevue avec #Poutine au #G20 à cause de l'attaque de la #Russie sur des navires ukrainiens de la mer Noire. Belle sanction. Mais aussitôt annulée par cette entrevue officieuse. Où est la logique? Où est l'affirmation de puissance US?
3) Ce soir, la question d'1 président US #Trump, dont les intérêts (politiques? financiers? Autres?) divergent de ceux stratégiques de la nation, est clairement posée. Par ce nouvel épisode #Poutine d'autant plus saugrenu qu'il est sous enquête fédérale de Mueller. Mais pas que.

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

It’s a 7:41 drive from the White House to the Trump Hotel DC (with a motorcade; slower for you).
