“They would like to see me lose an election because they have never been challenged like this,” @POTUS says of #China.
“A lot of money is coming into our coffers” from tariffs on the “dumpers” from #China, according to @POTUS.
“Unfortunately they just raised interest rates,” @POTUS says of the @federalreserve. “I’m not happy about that.”
"Those who interfere with our liberties will pay a price," @SecPompeo tells reporters and specifically mentions past election interference actions by #Russia.
"What Secretary Kerry has done is unseemly and unprecedented," says @SecPompeo about @JohnKerry and his efforts to save #Iran #JCPOA. "It is beyond inappropriate."
"Actively undermining U.S. policy as a former secretary of state is literally unheard of," adds @SecPompeo.
I imagine the #sonytruthers playing armchair #DFIR investigators will emerge from wherever they’ve been hiding in order to dispute the #DPRK #indictment. My advice: you were wrong in 2014-2015, and you’d still be wrong today. HT @JohnHultquist int.nyt.com/data/documenth…
Because #attribution is inherently political per @RidT and @BuchananBen, you need more than “hacking” knowledge to assess national policy. Experience w/ #cybersecurity clearly helps, but gov internals, intel agency processes, bureaucracy, trade, diplomacy, LE, are all important.
I think it’s slowly changing, but a failure of #cybersecurity has been to think “soft” areas are much easier than coding, so any leet hacker is inherently qualified to address political science, history, economics, and related topics by virtue of their ability to code in ASM.
Hope expressed by @SecPompeo that Biegun can provide a"far brighter future for the people of North Korea."
"Full denuclearization of North Korea" was agreed to by Kim Jong Un at the #SingaporeSummit, according to Biegun.
"Almost everybody that runs for office has campaign violations," says @POTUS in taped interview with @foxandfriends.
"For 30, 40 years I've been watching flippers," adds @POTUS. "It ought to be outlawed."
"They just make up lies" to get lighter sentences, according to @POTUS.
In cabinet meeting, @larry_kudlow says economy of #China "is just heading South...Right now, their economy looks terrible.”
Pool allowed to remain in cabinet meeting for extended time. @POTUS comments: “if you’d like, you can stay. If you’d like, you can leave. Freedom of the press.”
In cabinet meeting @POTUS asks @jeffsessions to look into opioids coming from #China and #Mexico, saying those countries were “sending their garbage and killing our people. .. It’s almost a form of warfare."
And we’re underway at 14:48

First part of the briefing dedicated to recent return of US service members' remains from #DPRK.
If true this is far from #CVID touted by many US officials (to which #DPRK has never agreed anyway).
This is what @marcorubio had to say back in May:
"The Asian unemployment rate has reached the lowest level in history," says @POTUS, referring to Asian-Americans.
"We will shortly be the largest in the world in energy."
"I've kept my promises," declares @POTUS.
"The president knows it's a serious issue...and he's looking into the matter," says @hogangidley45 on Air Force One regarding 3-D plastic guns.
"Whether a shutdown happens before or after the election his focus is getting the (immigration) problem fixed," @hogangidley45 says of @POTUS.
Democrats advocating for abolishing @ICEgov "is lunacy at the highest level," adds @hogangidley45.

In Granite City, #Illinois, @POTUS says "we're here today to celebrate a great victory...pouring new American steel into the spine of our country.
"U.S. Steel is back," declares @POTUS.
Now @IvankaTrump on stage: "This president and this administration is fighting for each and every one of you."
Senate "filled with serious doubts" about the conduct of the foreign policy of the @realDonaldTrump administration, says @SenBobCorker opening hearing at which @SecPompeo is to testify.
“We will not let this drag out to no end,” says @SecPompeo of #DPRK diplomacy.
US policy on #Russia sanctions “completely unchanged,” @SecPompeo tells senators.
Every senator who voted against confirmation of @DeptVetAffairs nominee Robert Wilkie are "super lefts" who will run against him for president in 2020, @POTUS says to VFW national convention in KC.
"We're ready to make a real deal" with Iran, declares @POTUS.
#Russia is supplying the #DPRK with up to 400 tons of oil products a month, according to a new report from @rianru.
“There is no rush” contradicts @SecPompeo two months ago who told @HouseForeign: “The model that we've laid forth is a rapid denuclearization, total and complete, that won't be extended over time...”
At Chequers @theresa_may, alongside @POTUS, says she thanked him for expelling 60 intelligence officers from #Russia following Salisbury nerve agent incident.
Will pursue a US-UK free trade agreement following #Brexit, adds @theresa_may.
US and UK in agreement on how to deal with #DPRK and #Iran and need for increased @NATO defense spending, declares @theresa_may.
#ROK Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha plans to visit #Japan on Sunday for back-to-back meetings on the #DPRK with @SecPompeo and @konotarogomame.
Some reaction to the outcome in Pyongyang:
#DPRK foreign ministry says talks with @SecPompeo “really disappointing” because delegation “came out with such unilateral and robber-like denuclearization demands as CVID, declaration and verification that go against the spirit of the North-U.S. summit meeting.”
#DPRK “firm, steadfast" resolve to give up #nuclear programs may falter after US demanded unilateral denuclearisation during Pyongyang talks , according to KCNA.
Before leaving Pyongyang @SecPompeo said the talks were “productive” but acknowledged he did not meet Kim Jong Un on this trip.
In Pyongyang, @SecPompeo discussions with #DPRK officials include repatriation of American remains from Korean War, in addition to denuclearization issues.
US and #DPRK establish working groups for "nitty gritty stuff," including validation of efforts to achieve denuclearization, according to pool report from Pyongyang.
And @SecPompeo leaves negotiations venue to make secure phone call to brief @POTUS.
SHORT THREAD on the upcoming #Helsinki summit b/n #Putin, @realDonaldTrump.
1. Amidst modest,if not low,expectations on the very deliverables of the meeting it's interesting to see public & back-channel efforts of #Moscow & #Washington to build the agenda for the summit.

2. @AmbJohnBolton 's visit to #Moscow was meant to lay the ground for the summit & it appears the parties have reached agreement on the basics. What #Putin & #Bolton were conveying to one another is important.

Blowing up the engine test stand is ok. Blowing up all the facilities including the gantry tower is way better. #sohae #dprk
Like Punggye-ri, this just means they don’t think thy have to test new designs. Except it’s even easier to build a test stand for a missile engine. #dprk
It doesn’t mean that they can’t make more of@them same icbm engines. #dprk
