Trump lambastes Twitter, says it is doing nothing about the lies and propaganda from China

Trump tweets out more criticism against Twitter

Twitter is doing nothing about all of the lies & propaganda being put out by China or the Radical Left Democrat Party. They have targeted Republicans, Conservatives & the President of the United States. Section 230 should be revoked by Congress. Until then, it will be regulated!

And so the drama continues to unfold. Once again, just be mindful of the situation here in case it creates further negative spillovers for tech stocks in general.

Trump: Big sanctions on Turkey are coming

Trump tweets out a message to Turkey

Brian Kilmeade over at @foxandfriends got it all wrong. We are not going into another war between people who have been fighting with each other for 200 years. Europe had a chance to get their ISIS prisoners, but didn’t want the cost. “Let the USA pay,” they said.

Kurds may be releasing some to get us involved. Easily recaptured by Turkey or European Nations from where many came, but they should move quickly. Big sanctions on Turkey coming! Do people really think we should go to war with NATO Member Turkey? Never ending wars will end!

This is related to the strikes in the northern part of Syria last week. The lira has fallen on the tweet as USD/TRY is making new highs for the day around 5.9350 from 5.9200 levels earlier.

Trump voices displeasure over Iran breaching uranium stockpile limit

More sanctions to follow?

US Iran

Trump tweets:

Iran was violating the 150 Billion Dollar (plus 1.8 Billion Dollar in CASH) Nuclear Deal with the United States, and others who paid NOTHING, long before I became President – and they have now breached their stockpile limit. Not good!

This comes after the International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed overnight that Iran has now exceeded its supposedly agreed stockpile limit of low-enriched uranium, which breaches one of the key points in the 2015 nuclear deal.
Even so, reports say that Iran is still a long way off from being able to produce a bomb but when you see Trump tweet something like this, it’s never too long before something happens again amid escalating tensions between the two countries.

Unlikely US would agree to lift restrictions on Huawei – US official

US official cited by Reuters

  • Trump’s decision on whether to impose more tariffs on Chinese goods depends on meeting with Xi, nothing agreed ahead of time
  • Unlikely US would agree to lift restrictions on Huawei
From China’s perspective, it would make sense that Xi wouldn’t agree to meet without assurances that more sanctions wouldn’t be applied. If Trump walks out of the meeting and hits the US with a fresh round, it would reflect poorly on the leader. In general, these things are always agreed on ahead of time, with room for tweaks.
