** May Survives
------------------------------------------------------------
Theresa May on Wednesday night narrowly saw off a vote of no confidence, but immediately faced a new confrontation with Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn as she tried to save her Brexit deal, as the
FT’s Laura Hughes and George Parker report (https://www.ft.com/content/24d1dadc-19bc-11e9-b93e-f4351a53f1c3?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=f658a30bcf-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_01_16_08_34&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-f658a30bcf-145367789 ) .

** INF Treaty
------------------------------------------------------------

** Critical Quote
------------------------------------------------------------

** “My concern, by the statements made by President Trump, is that you set in motion enthusiasm by the enemy we're fighting. You make people we're trying to help wonder about us. And as they get bolder, the people we're trying to help are going to get more uncertain. I saw this in Iraq. And I'm now seeing it in Syria.”

— U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC)
