Aside from the fact that his views are utterly repellent, can we talk about how inarticulate this guy is? It's like watching a high-school freshman bluster his way through a debate. nymag.com/intelligencer/…

Trump will meet with senators this week to discuss possible sanctions on Turkey over the S-400 purchase. A 2017 law requires him to impose some, but doesn't set a deadline, "so Trump could delay indefinitely." wsj.com/articles/lawma…

Shipping insurance premiums in the Gulf have risen "eight to 10 times in the past eight weeks," and will probably climb further. Refiners in Asia may start to look for alternative oil suppliers as tensions continue to mount. ft.com/content/0eb388…

Yukiya Amano, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, which (among other things) inspects Iran's nuclear program, has died. There will be an abrupt leadership battle at a complicated time for the agency. iaea.org/newscenter/pre…

I can't help it. Every time I see Trump seriously tweet about A$AP I burst out laughing. Can you imagine being the Swedish PM taking this call? twitter.com/realdonaldtrum…

How you know this is a load of horseshit: No one in the history of journalism (unless you work for my employer) has ever said, "We developed the story together... given the possible controversy, we decided to leave my name out of it." dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7…

"Everything is at a standstill." Turkey's effort to clean up $20bn worth of bad debts is going, well, badly, in part because of (unrealistic?) hopes that the economy will rebound later this year. uk.reuters.com/article/uk-tur…

Iran says it released the Mesdar last night after giving it "a notice to comply with environmental regulations." It's still holding the Stena Impero, which Tehran claims it seized after a collision with a fishing boat. washingtonpost.com/world/middle_e…
