Trump and the Loyal Opposition
But let's face it, a serious U.S. rival won't provoke a confrontation just to blow up a few U.S. planes sitting on the tarmac. 'Decapitation strike' is the fear now dominating congressional hearings and Pentagon planning: blinding our satellites, using space-based hypersonic weapons. The goal would be to render the U.S leaderless while neutralizing a key tenet of deterrence. The U.S., after all, needs to be able to know who hit it to deter such an attack.

Trump sees India trade deal, skeptical on progress with Japan
STORY: With one week to go before his deadline for trade deals, Donald Trump is feeling hopeful about talks with at least one major country: ''I think we're going to have a deal with India, possibly, and that's going to be a different kind of a deal. It's going to be a deal where we're able to go in and compete. Right now, India doesn't accept anybody in. I think India's going to do that and if they do that, we're going to have a deal for less much less tariffs.' The U.S. President spoke to reporters on Air Force One on Tuesday (July 1). He said he wasn't thinking about extending the July 9 deadline for agreements. And he again expressed doubt about a deal with Japan: 'They and others are so spoiled from having ripped us off for 30, 40 years; that it's really hard for them to make a deal. You know, it's very hard.' Trump said Japan had refused to take American rice, despite having a shortage of the staple grains. And he said Tokyo had been 'unfair' more broadly, citing its big trade surplus in cars as evidence. The president said he could impose a 35% tariff on the country - or well above the 24% he announced in April and then paused. Earlier Tuesday, Japan's chief cabinet secretary said Tokyo would continue talking to Washington, but would not sacrifice its agriculture sector in order to get a deal. India's foreign minister said this week that talks were at an 'intricate' stage. Sticking points are thought to include duties on car parts, steel and farm goods.
