The moves would maintain the status quo in place since October, when Trump first declined to certify the deal to Congress but left it intact. The Obama administration and five other world powers negotiated the accord with Iran in 2015 in an effort to block Tehran from building nuclear weapons.

Iran agreed to dismantle or destroy most of its nuclear infrastructure under the agreement.

The horror in Gaza can continue indefinitely thanks to an Israeli state of mind that has learned to wipe atrocities out of one’s consciousness

Moon habe in dem 30-minütigen Telefonat Trump über die Ergebnisse der hochrangigen Gespräche mit Nordkorea am Dienstag informiert, teilte der Pressechef im Präsidialamt Yoon Young-chan mit. Beide hätten vereinbart, sich über den Verlauf der innerkoreanischen Gespräche intensiv auszutauschen.

Trump sagte, die USA seien offen für Gespräche, sollte sich Nordkorea zu einem angemessenen Zeitpunkt und in einer angemessenen Situation einen Dialog wünschen. Es werde keinen militärischen Angriff geben, während beide Koreas Gespräche führen.

The “F-52” is a fictional jet only available to fly if you’re a gamer at the controls of “Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.”

Trump lauded the sale of the fictional planes alongside Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg at the White House on Wednesday, remarking on the very real and growing defense relationship with America’s Northern Europe ally.

Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats calls this foreign intelligence the “holy grail” that provides insight into the thinking and actions of U.S. adversaries. However, the program, which is to expire on Jan. 19, also sweeps up Americans’ communications.

The House of Representatives voted on Thursday to extend the National Security Agency’s warrantless surveillance program for six years with minimal changes, rejecting a yearslong effort by a bipartisan group of lawmakers to impose significant new privacy limits when it sweeps up Americans’ emails and other personal communications.

The Congressional showdown on Section 702 reforms/renewal continues to generate little actual debate or reform — but plenty of bad proposals. Both the House and Senate Intelligence Committees have decided there should be a renewal — preferably an extended one — with zero actual reform.

Members of the House offered up some tepid reforms in the USA Liberty Act, only to find this offering blocked by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), which offered a zero-reform package at the last minute. Fortunately, no one was able to tack a lousy non-reform bill to the tailend of the annual budget bill, thereby dodging reform discussions and giving the NSA a surveillance blank check for the next 5-10 years.

Having been stiff-armed for a few weeks, the HPSCI has put together another Section 702 „reform“ bill that does nothing to change the status quo and actually has the possibility of making things worse.

WikiLeaks-Gründer Julian Assange ist seit dem 12. Dezember im Besitz der ecuadorianischen Staatsbürgerschaft. Das teilte Außenministerin María Fernanda Espinosa mit. Ihr Land habe sich für die Einbürgerung des Australiers entschieden, während es „weiter nach Wegen zu einer Lösung“ der Lage sucht.

Intel said that the sale was made as part of an automated trading programme. Previously, a spokesperson said that they were pre-planned and unrelated to the discovery of the Spectre and Meltdown flaws – although Google shared news about them in June, and the sale was only arranged in October.
