Trump administration indeed pausing arms sales to Taiwan. Unclear what, if anything, Beijing offered in return. Allies will see it (rightly) as further evidence that the US approach to Beijing is conciliation and accommodation.

Trump, in a new post on Iran this morning, demands that as part of the peace deal, other Middle East nations join the Abraham Accords and recognize Israel.





Senior administration official says the Iran agreement will not be signed today, but indicated progress on a deal. "If the Iranians make significant accommodations on the enrichment question then we will make significant accommodations on sanctions relief,” the official said. On the nuclear issue, the current plan is to deal with the entire stockpile of enriched material. "If you have a final deal where the Iranian are enriching, then you don't have a final deal,” the official added.

President Trump is the ONLY one who could have gotten Iran — the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism — to the negotiating table. We are greatly encouraged to learn a PEACE DEAL in Iran is underway — and look forward to learning more about the specifics. Under President Trump’s leadership, our nation is stronger, more respected on the global stage, and safer than ever before.
