Iran’s Military Budget is up more than 40% since the Obama negotiated Nuclear Deal was reached…just another indicator that it was all a big lie. But not anymore!

It’s unclear if the military budget of Iran is up 40% or 30%. According to multiple sources, the military budget increase since the Iran Deal was reached in 2015, trends upward along with government spending as a whole.
The Senate should get funding done before the August break, or NOT GO HOME. Wall and Border Security should be included. Also waiting for approval of almost 300 nominations, worst in history. Democrats are doing everything possible to obstruct, all they know how to do. STAY!

President Xi of China, and I, are working together to give massive Chinese phone company, ZTE, a way to get back into business, fast. Too many jobs in China lost. Commerce Department has been instructed to get it done!

In March of 2017 ZTE, pled guilty to charges it had violated US sanctions against both Iran and North Korea, by exporting those countries telecommunications equipment, the company, the second-largest Chinese telecom marker, also agreed to pay up to 1.19 billion dollars.
In April of this year Secretary of Commerce, Wilbur Ross, issued a denial of export privileges against ZTE, when the department uncovered that in 2016, during the settlement negotiations, and again in 2017 during the probationary period, ZTE provided false statements to the US.
Last week ZTE announced it had halted its main operations.
