Some additional contexts not included in the British-centric financial review below.

(1) Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae will be at the White House next week.  This meeting was scheduled several weeks before Operation Epic Fury began.  The timeline continues to indicate that President Trump’s primary geopolitical focus is on China, not necessarily the U.K-EU angle, although that is a materially significant overlay.

(2) “A major U.S. weapons package for Taiwan worth about 14 billion dollars is awaiting approval from Donald Trump and could be announced after his planned visit to China later this month, according to sources familiar with the discussions. The proposed deal would be the largest U.S. arms sale ever to Taiwan and comes as military tensions between China and the self-ruled island continue to rise.” {SOURCE}

Heavenly Father, we ask for You to protect our leadership’s intent through value-driven stewardship.  Keep arrogance and pride far from the heart of our leadership and help them to listen well. Dear God, we ask that You provide spiritual protection and intellectual discernment; provide calm through troubled waters, and space for wisdom to enter the hearts and minds of our national leadership keeping their bold influence aligned with Christ’s example. ~ Amen
