Stevenson’s army, October 13
Who knows what US policy in Syria/Turkey is this morning? NYT has some “live updates.” The president played golf yesterday while aides scrambled to explain what was happening. Lindsey Graham said Trump was willing to sanction Turkey now. [He has the power already; where’s the sanction?] Axios said officials said Trump had called Erdogan’s bluff two times. Looks the opposite to me. Maybe later this week somebody will write the tick-tock.
In other news, it looks as if China got the most out of the mini trade deal.
AP has more background on the Trump=Zelensky phone call.
