.@USTradeRep Lighthizer says he will notify Congress to begin formal negotiations with Japan for a bilateral trade agreement. Expects it to be done in two stages with an “early harvest” focused on tariffs on goods.

Today is the release date of THE FIGHTERS. I'll be off-line most of the day, but before then just this: Thanks to everyone who helped, in so many ways, across so many years. Many who helped already know what's within. I hope the rest of you will read. https://t.co/3f8taUWVOK

She is diabetic and has now been held at LHR immigration without access to food or water for 90+ minutes.

I repeat, I am a tax-paying permanent resident and my only family member, my 65 year old mother, is being held at the border because UKBA say the fact that she is visiting me is suspicious? Why? @sajidjavid @DavidLammy @hammersmithandy @mcashmanCBE

[Krishna Omkar (he/him) @krishnaomkar]

She has held valid visas for the UK for 10+ years and her visa was recently renewed in May 2018 for 5 years. I fail to understand why she is being treated in this way. I am a tax-paying permanent resident and I can't even have my only family member visit me?

[Krishna Omkar (he/him) @krishnaomkar]

@sajidjavid I am a UK permanent resident (indefinite leave to remain). My mother visiting from India has just been held at LHR because she is here "too often". She has NEVER exceeded her 180 day allowance. Why is she being targeted? @DavidLammy @hammersmithandy

Superb review by @bobdavis187 of the debate now over whether the U.S. erred in allowing China into the W.T.O., which paved the way for China’s rise to economic preeminence without moderating its politics https://t.co/6z8ZpDpll1

.@SecretaryRoss on 232 autos timing: "We weren't ready to come to a conclusion on automotive anyway. It'll be another month or so. The whole work on the auto tariffs will continue. Depending on where we are with the EU, might have an impact on what are the eventual conclusions.”

NEW: Congress abandoned a bipartisan attempt to undo Trump’s deal with Beijing to save ZTE. The Chinese telecommunications giant is a serial sanctions violator and threat to national security, according to U.S. officials. https://t.co/4g7kRXzate with @siobhanehughes

[Megan Cassella @mmcassella]

Trump appears unbowed in his quest to continue escalating trade tensions regardless of what anyone says. As the economic fallout builds, the political fallout will, too — and both could reach a peak around election time. A look at where we might be headed: https://t.co/BspGqGDKCM

[Greg Ip @greg_ip]

On steel, coal, and China, Trump embraces industrial policy, even if he doesn't call it that. Who wins, who loses? Read my big piece. https://t.co/AAHST1l3IZ
