!!! Trump to discuss possibility of withdrawing from NATO in meeting in a couple of hours with NATO's secretary general, White House says


The White House, in response to reports of Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz, says Iranian claims are unacceptable but there has been an "uptick in traffic," despite the fact that only two vessels have transited since the ceasefire


Leavitt: "Iran put forward a 10-point plan that…was literally thrown in the garbage by President Trump…Many outlets in this room have falsely reported on that plan as being acceptable to the United States, and that is false."



Jenkins: Democrats are already saying that this is taco—-Trump always chickens out. Let me give you another acronym—Nacho—never avoids confronting hard obstacles.

This morning, I asked President Trump if he’s okay with the Iranians charging a toll for all ships that go through the Strait of Hormuz, he told me there may be a Joint US-Iran venture to charge tolls: “We’re thinking of doing it as a joint venture. It’s a way of securing it — also securing it from lots of other people.” “It’s a beautiful thing”



Yes, it's good. The war is bad. So, the ceasefire is good. Pretty simple. Trump's out of the escalation trap, for now, thank God. And if the ceasefire is going to hold and lead to a peace deal it may involve a very gradual opening of the Strait and then an Iranian toll system.

@thejadge @Timodc No. The people elected this government over and over.

The Israelis should be punished for this, and there is no reason for a Democratic presidential candidate to suggest we will lift one fucking finger for them after the shit they have pulled boosting the Republicans and then inducing our idiot president into launching their war
