The Washington Free Beacon <https://freebeacon.corn/national-security/u-s-mulls-repercussions-for-europes-

line as the Trump administration examines a range of options to pressure these countries after their refusal to 
back the United States in its efforts to expand sanctions on Iran, according to current and former U.S. officials." 
Multiple sources "who spoke to the Washington Free Beacon outlined a range of European priorities the

increased coordination on Lebanon needed by the French, and a range of items the Germans have sought to 
revive ties with America."

reports that a "top Russian general is blaming the U.S. military for a clash in northeast Syria this week that 
injured four U.S. service members, claiming that American troops attempted to block a Russian patrol `in breach 
of the existing agreements,' according to the Russian embassy." The Russian account, however, "contrasts 
sharply with a Wednesday statement from the White House, which blamed Russia for ramming the vehicle 
carrying coalition troops." 
US Embassy Defends Canada After Navarro Slams Country's Military Service In Afghanistan. 
The Hill <https://thehill.corn/homenews/administration/5 I3978-us-embassy-in-canada-responds-after-navarro-

statement praising Canada's military service in Afghanistan after White House trade adviser Peter Navarro 
sharply criticized Canadian policies in a new book." Richard Mills, the Embassy's chargé d'affaires, said that the 
US "deeply values the service and sacrifice of our Canadian allies in support of the defense of freedom and 
global security." The "unusual statement" comes after Navarro was quoted in a new book, "The Madman 
Theory" by CNN's Jim Sciutto, as saying, "Were they doing us a favor, or were they brought into the idea they 
needed to do that as part of the global effort against terrorists? I mean, if they were just doing us a favor, maybe 
their government should have been thrown out of office. I mean, every time that a Canadian shows up in a 
uniform, it's doing us a favor? How's that work?"

Kushner Touts Administration's Mideast Peace Strategy.

kushner-kenosha-israel-2020-and-the-presidents-love-language-087706> (8/27, 4.3IM) about the 
Administration's Mideast peace strategy, White House Senior Adviser Jared Kushner said, "President Trump has 
laid out a great vision for them," including "a proposal on the table for Palestinian state from Israel," which has 
"never been done before in the history of the negotiation." Kushner added, "We've built a full business plan that 
could take their economy and double their GDP, create a new, million new jobs, and reduce their poverty by 
50%," adding that "if they show courage and if they're willing to take a little bit of risk, I think under this 
President, he's shown that by doing things in an unconventional way, incredible things are possible." 
US, China Trade Jibes As Military Tensions Escalate. 
Reuters <https://wwvv.reuters.corn/article/us-usa-defence-china/u-s-china-trade-jibes-as-military-tensions-
worsen-idUSKEN25N0D6> (8/27, Blanchard) reports the US and China "traded jibes as military tensions grow" 
between the two nations, with Defense Secretary Esper vowing not to "cede an inch" in the Pacific and "China 
saying Washington was risking soldiers' lives." During talks with US allies in Hawaii, Esper said, "To advance 
the CCP's agenda, the People's Liberation Army continues to pursue an aggressive modemisation plan to 
achieve a world class military by the middle of the century." This, he added, "will undoubtedly involve the 
PLA's provocative behaviour in the South and East China Seas, and anywhere else the Chinese government has 
deemed critical to its interests." China's Defense Ministry "shot back," saying "certain U.S. politicians" 
damaging Sino-US ties in the run-up to the November election for their own gain. 
The Washington Examiner <https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/defense-national-security/esper-casts-

"met virtually with the chiefs of defense from 29 Pacific nations, and in a public shift, the defense secretary has 
begun to speak of building partnerships with smaller and further dispersed Pacific nations." Said Esper, "We are 
also looking to expand our engagement with new and emerging partners throughout South and Southeast Asia. 
Assisting countries across the region to develop their national security policies, strategies, plans, and laws is

18.61 M) reports China on Wednesday "fired a barrage of medium-range missiles across considerable distances 
into the South China Sea, Beijing's latest move to demonstrate its strategic dominance and sovereignty over the 
disputed waters, an American defense official said." Senior Col. Wu Qian, a spokesman for the Chinese Ministry 
of National Defense, "did not mention the missiles on Thursday but confirmed that China had carried out long-
planned drills over an area that stretched from Qingdao in northeastern China to disputed islands in the South 
China Sea known as the Spratlys." Col. Wu said, "The above exercises are not directed at any country." 
The Washington Times <https://www.washingtontimes.corn/news/2020/aug/27/pentagon-criticizes-chinese-

that when China imposed "a sweeping new national security law, onlookers wondered whether President Xi 
Jinping would impose his digital authoritarianism on the island state — or whether some sort of compromise 
would emerge leaving online life less free than before, but still free enough to use the word `freedom."' Now, the 
Post says, "we have an answer: China is not interested in compromise." Hong Kong, it argues, "is the latest

Russian Prosecutors Do Not Plan To Investigate Navalny's Suspected Poisoning.

Putin Says Prepared To Help Lukashenko If Belarus Protests Turn Violent. 
The AP <https://apnews.corn/087beabf50271e47bd94b172b51d3467> (8/27, Karmanau, Isachenkov) reports on 
Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin "warned that he stands ready to send police to Belarus if protests 
there turn violent" and "Belarusian police dispersed a protest in the capital with renewed vigor Thursday, 
detaining about 180 people and raising pressure on the opposition." Putin said Belarusian President Alexander 
Lukashenko "asked him to prepare a Russian law enforcement contingent to deploy to Belarus if necessary." 
Putin said, "We have agreed not to use it until the situation starts spinning out of control and extremist elements 
acting under the cover of political slogans cross certain borders and engage in banditry and start burning cars, 
houses and banks or take over administrative buildings." 
The New York Times <https://www.nytimes.corn/2020/08/27/world/europe/belarus-russia-putin.html> (8/27, 
Higgins, 18.61M) called it "an ominous warning...to protesters in Belarus not to push too hard to topple their 
country's embattled president," while the Washington Post

Intelligence Officials Say US To Offer Little Support For Belarusian Protesters. TIME

demonstrators in Belarus "can expect little more than rhetorical support from the United States, Trump 
administration officials say." While some US diplomats "have argued for imposing sanctions on Lukashenko's 
regime, U.S. intelligence officials have concluded he is likely to remain in power despite this month's allegedly 
rigged election because he retains the support of the leadership of the nation's military, internal security, 
government-controlled news media, and intelligence services." In addition, intelligence officials "in the US and 
Western Europe say, Russia's foreign and military intelligence agencies have," in the words of one European 
official, "thoroughly penetrated or intimidated their comrades in Belarus."

Rich, 18.61M) reports Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced Friday "he will resign because of ill 
EFTA00136601

health...just four days after he exceeded the record for the longest consecutive run as leader in Japanese history." 
The Japanese news media had been speculating about Abe's health "for weeks, particularly after he significantly 
dialed back public appearances as a new wave of coronavirus infections erupted in clusters throughout the 
country. When Mr. Abe visited a hospital twice in the span of a week, the rumor mill went into overdrive." 
EU Leaders Divided Amid Rising Turkish, Greek Tensions. 
The New York Times <https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/27/world/europe/greece-turkey-eu.html> (8/27, 
Erlanger, 18.61M) reports that an "escalating dispute between Greece and Turkey over energy resources in the 
eastern Mediterranean is fast becoming militarized, raising the risks of a clash among NATO allies." German 
Foreign Minister Heiko Maas, "who visited Greece and Turkey this week urging dialogue, warned both 
governments against further military escalation." As Germany tries to mediate, France, Greece, Cyprus and Italy 
are "engaged in military exercises involving ships and planes off the Cypriot coast" to "deter Turkey from 
further energy exploration in disputed waters."
