** Good Evening,
------------------------------------------------------------
It's Wednesday, September 6th.

** Putin Rejects Cutting Oil to NK
------------------------------------------------------------
President Vladimir Putin of Russia said his country opposed cutting off oil supplies to North Korea as part of new sanctions being considered in the wake of the country’s latest nuclear test, according to official accounts of his meeting Wednesday with President Moon Jae-in of South Korea, as the
New York Times’ Choe Sang-Hun reports (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/06/world/asia/north-korea-putin-oil-embargo.html?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=835330f97c-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_09_06&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-835330f97c-145367789) .

Dive Deeper: See CFR’s backgrounder by Eleanor Albert on NK’s military capabilities (https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/north-koreas-military-capabilities?utm_medium=social_earned&utm_source=tw&utm_campaign=backgrounder&utm_term=north-koreas-military-capabilities&utm_content=090617&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=835330f97c-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_09_06&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-835330f97c-145367789) .

And, CSIS’s Tony Cordesman on “The Real Impact of North Korea's Nuclear and Missile Programs (https://www.csis.org/analysis/destabilizing-northeast-asia-real-impact-north-koreas-nuclear-and-missile-programs/?block2&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=835330f97c-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_09_06&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-835330f97c-145367789) .”

Plus, CSIS’s newest short video (2:27): “How It Works: Detecting a North Korean Missile Strike on Guam (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPgRm2ApspE&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=835330f97c-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_09_06&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-835330f97c-145367789) .”

** Iran Nuclear Deal
------------------------------------------------------------
France’s foreign minister said today (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-iran-nuclear-france/frances-foreign-minister-worried-by-trumps-stance-on-iran-nuclear-deal-idUSKCN1BH2KU?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=835330f97c-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_09_06&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-835330f97c-145367789) he was worried that President Donald Trump could put into doubt a nuclear deal between Iran and a group of major world powers.

** Changes at the Fed
------------------------------------------------------------
Stanley Fischer today submitted his resignation as vice chairman of the Federal Reserve, adding to the turbulence at the U.S. central bank as it faces a host of vacancies at its most senior levels, as the
FT’s Sam Fleming reports (https://www.ft.com/content/958a2a84-9314-11e7-a9e6-11d2f0ebb7f0?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=835330f97c-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_09_06&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-835330f97c-145367789) .

And, as the WSJ’s Michael Bender reports (https://www.wsj.com/articles/president-trump-unlikely-to-nominate-gary-cohn-to-become-fed-chairman-1504731461?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=835330f97c-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_09_06&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-835330f97c-145367789) late this afternoon, President Trump is unlikely to nominate top economic adviser Gary Cohn as the next Federal Reserve chairman.
