** Stepped Up Harley Threats
------------------------------------------------------------
President Trump warned Harley-Davidson Inc. that moving production overseas would mark “the beginning of the end” of the iconic brand, a day after the manufacturer said it planned to make more motorcycles abroad to avoid European Union tariffs, as the
Wall Street Journal’s Rebecca Ballhaus reports (https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-steps-up-threats-against-harley-davidson-1530020819?mod=hp_lead_pos7&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=0a548ceee5-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_06_26_07_22&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-0a548ceee5-145367789) .

Meanwhile, Bloomberg’s Natalie Wong and Josh Wingrove report (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-06-26/canada-said-to-prepare-steel-quotas-tariffs-on-china-others?utm_content=business&utm_campaign=socialflow-organic&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&cmpid=socialflow-twitter-business&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=0a548ceee5-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_06_26_07_22&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-0a548ceee5-145367789) that the Canadian government is preparing new measures to prevent a potential flood of steel imports from global producers seeking to avoid U.S. tariffs.

And, as CNBC reports (https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/26/stock-market-is-getting-whiplash-over-trump-trade-policy.html?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=0a548ceee5-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_06_26_07_22&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-0a548ceee5-145367789) , investors are getting whiplash from watching the back-and-forth happening among Trump administration officials who can't seem to agree on a trade policy.

The FT's Shawn Donnan reports (https://www.ft.com/content/dd08ad9c-78c2-11e8-bc55-50daf11b720d?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=0a548ceee5-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_06_26_07_22&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-0a548ceee5-145367789) on divisions within the Trump administration over how to prosecute its trade war with China.

** Iran Protests/Oil Imports
------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. is pressing allies to end all imports of Iranian oil by Nov. 4 and doesn’t want to offer any extensions or waivers, as Bloomberg’s Nick Wadhams and Javier Blas report (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-06-26/u-s-is-said-to-press-allies-to-end-iran-oil-imports-by-nov-4?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=0a548ceee5-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_06_26_07_22&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-0a548ceee5-145367789) .

Meanwhile, Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani promised Iranians today the government would be able to handle the economic pressure of new U.S. sanctions amid a second day of demonstrations in protest at financial hardship and a weakening currency, as Reuters reports (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-nuclear-iran-rouhani/iran-says-it-can-handle-fresh-sanctions-amid-national-strike-idUSKBN1JM0IK?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=0a548ceee5-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_06_26_07_22&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-0a548ceee5-145367789) .

** Smiles

“It’s like California weather,” one of my swimming buddies said this morning at 6:30 as we plunged in for morning laps. Those four words are the greatest words ever said when it comes to morning lap swimming. Blue skies, sunshine and cool temperatures get everyone into an early morning groove. The water looks crystal blue. On days like these I always get into a groove as a I start thinking about my favorite music while I swim, and I really start feeling “California.”

This morning it was a Grateful Dead California classic, “China Cat Sunflower” into “I Know You Rider” AKA “China Rider.” I’m still smiling (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rl6scWO_bvA&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=0a548ceee5-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_06_26_07_22&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-0a548ceee5-145367789) .
