** Good Evening,
------------------------------------------------------------
It's Monday, October 1st.

** NAFTA Revamp
------------------------------------------------------------
President Donald Trump has hailed Canada’s eleventh-hour decision to join the U.S. and Mexico in a revamped trilateral trade deal as “historic news” for America and the world, sparking a rally across North American financial markets, as the
FT’s James Politi, Demetri Sevastopulo and Jude Webber report (https://www.ft.com/content/8a43c9f4-c51e-11e8-8670-c5353379f7c2?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=1ca0c3109c-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_10_01_07_03&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-1ca0c3109c-145367789) .

And the WSJ reports (https://www.wsj.com/articles/ten-things-to-know-about-the-new-nafta-deal-1538365823?mod=hp_lead_pos2&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=1ca0c3109c-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_10_01_07_03&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-1ca0c3109c-145367789) “ten things to know about the NAFTA deal.”

** But China
------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, as the Trump administration takes a victory lap in the wake of the new trade agreement with Canada and Mexico, the relations between the U.S. and China, the world's second largest economy, continue to intensify.  In the latest sign of the increasingly fraught ties, CNBC reports (https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/01/defense-secretary-james-mattis-cancels-trip-to-china.html?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=1ca0c3109c-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_10_01_07_03&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-1ca0c3109c-145367789) , the Pentagon has canceled Defense Secretary James Mattis' visit to China later this month.

The Smiths were one of the biggest bands ever to come out of England. Their music ruled when I was in high school in the mid-1980s. Just getting your hands on a Smiths record was a big deal back then. For many, the band was all about lead singer Morrissey. For me the Smiths were about guitarist Johnny Marr and the jangling pop he produced which would prove so influential for bands like Oasis and yes, even Radiohead. Check out Radiohead (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtmS2ePSSdU&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=1ca0c3109c-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_10_01_07_03&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-1ca0c3109c-145367789) covering the Smiths’ “Headmaster Ritual,” this is just fantastic.
