..he’s a great negotiator. I think he wants to meet.
Trump talks about letter of credit. not giving Iran money
Trump seemimgly talks about a temporary waiver for a credit line for Iran.

“The document for the first time provides official confirmation and codification of what many in the Moscow elite say has become a hybrid war against the West. Russia is seeking to subvert Western support for Ukraine and disrupt the domestic politics of the United States and European countries, through propaganda campaigns supporting isolationist and extremist policies, according to Kremlin documents previously reported on by The Post. It is also seeking to refashion geopolitics, drawing closer to China, Iran and North Korea in an attempt to shift the current balance of power.”

“The academic, Vladimir Zharikhin, called for Russia to ‘continue to facilitate the coming to power of isolationist right-wing forces in America,’” …
“Other points in the policy proposal …suggested that Moscow stoke conflict between the United States and China over Taiwan… as well as ‘to escalate the situation in the Middle East around Israel, Iran and Syria to distract the U.S. with the problems of this region.’”

🧵British Foreign Secretary Cameron, with Blinken: Perhaps nothing is more important than the supplemental that the Congress is looking at at the moment. & I come here with no intention to lecture anybody, or tell anybody what to do, or get in the way of the process of politics and other things in the United States. I just come here as a great friend and believer in this country, and a believer that it's profoundly in your interest and your security.
..And I'm looking forward to meetings I'm going to be having in Congress later today. And above all, we know it’s right for us. We know that it is right to stop Putin's aggression. We know it's right for our own militaries and our own production bases to ramp up production, not just for Ukraine, but for our own stocks. And as Tony said, so many of the jobs created will be jobs created here in the United States.
..we know it's right to send a very clear message to all those watching around the world, including China, that we stand by our allies, that we don't reward aggression, that we help those who are trying to fight it off.

🧵Went back and reread Turkish section of WaPo Grenell piece a few times, because something puzzling me. It seems to suggest, without saying explicitly, that Grenell was being paid by someone to try to broker the Erdogan Trump meeting, which Trump ultimately declined.
Implication is-by someone on the Turkey side? note the graf on his increasingly pro Erdogan statements. but he has not registered. washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…

you all might recall Flynn unregistered lobbying for the Turks while working for Trump in 2016

🧵Schumer: Palestinian civilians do not deserve to suffer for the sins of Hamas, and Israel has a moral obligation to do better. The United States has an obligation to do better. I believe the United States must…pressure the Israelis to let more of it get through
Schumer criticizes Israel for causing so much civilian suffering but continues: Israel is by no means the only one responsible for the immense civilian toll.
Schumer calls for negotiated two state solution, with a demilitarized Palestinian state living side by side with Israel. ..Only just solution is one in which each people can flourish in own state side by side.

🧵Jake Sullivan: Today, on behalf of President Biden, I'm announcing an emergency package of security assistance of $300 million worth of weapons and equipment to address some of Ukraine's pressing needs.
This is possible because of unanticipated cost savings in contracts that DOD negotiated to replace equipment we've already sent to Ukraine through previous drawdowns.
We're able to use these cost savings to make this modest amount of new security assistance available.
