Politics & Policy Daily: ‘You’ re Going to Have What You Need’

During a news conference, Trump pledged federal aid to the people hit by Hurricane Harvey.
President Trump will visit Texas on Tuesday, after Hurricane Harvey pummeled parts of the state over the weekend, killing at least eight people. Former President George H. W. Bush and Barbara Bush expressed sympathy for the residents of Texas, adding, “We salute them, the first responders, and the local elected officials for their grit and determination in the face of this extraordinary storm.” During a joint news conference with Finnish President Sauli Niinistö, Trump defended his decision to pardon former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and pledged federal aid to the people hit by Hurricane Harvey, saying “You’re going to have what you need, and it’s going to be fast.” In an interview with the Washington Examiner, Arpaio said “the door is open” to challenging Arizona Senator Jeff Flake. North Korea fired a missile over Japan, according to reports.

NK Shoots Three Missiles Over Japan

0

North Korea launched three ballistic missiles early Tuesday morning, according to the Japanese government.
North Korea fired a ballistic missile over Japan early Tuesday morning, according to the U. S., South Korean, and Japanese armed forces.
North Korea fired a ballistic missile from the capital city of Pyongyang, towards the Pacific Ocean, Yonhap News Agency reports, citing the South Korean military. The weapon flew over Japan and splashed down in the Pacific Ocean over 700 miles east of the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido. While there were early reports that North Korea fired three missiles, the Japanese government has clarified that the weapon broke into three parts after traveling more than 1,600 miles.
“We’ ll take utmost efforts to protect the public, ” Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said in a brief statement intended to reassure the alarmed Japanese people, some of which were instructed to prepare for a possible North Korean missile strike. The initial trajectory suggested that the missile might be headed for northern Japan.
Tuesday’s launch follows another provocative launch over the weekend in which North Korea fired three short-range ballistic missiles into the East Sea/Sea of Japan. While U. S. Pacific Command initially reported that all of the missiles failed, it later changed its assessment, stating that only one of the three failed.
Tuesday’s missile launch represents a major escalation at a time of heightened tension in Northeast Asia. “This ballistic missile appeared to fly over our territory, ” Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga, a senior government spokesman, said in response, “It is an unprecedented, serious and grave threat to our nation.”
North Korea has not launched a missile over Japan since 1998.
This post will be updated as more information becomes available.

Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan have welcomed their second daughter into the world, and her name is August. Before you ask, it’s unclear if she was named August because she was born in August. (But I highly doubt it.)
In usual Zuck fashion, the Facebook CEO and founder posted the announcement to Facebook along with a letter from him and his wife to the new baby girl.
Here’s the letter:
Zuckerberg and Chan had their first daughter, Max, in December 2015. They pledged to give away 99 percent of their shares to “advance human potential and promote equality for all children in the next generation.” At the time, Zuck’s shares were worth around $45 billion.

Toshiba, Western Digital reach broad agreement on chip unit sale

Toshiba Corp and Western Digital Corp reached a broad accord on the sale of the Japanese conglomerate’s chip unit as the U. S. company has agreed to drop its legal actions, sources close to the matter said Monday.
Western Digital CEO Steve Milligan is currently visiting Japan as the two companies have made progress on major issues at the working level. Milligan has met with officials of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, the sources said. The CEO is expected to continue to make final arrangements with Toshiba President Satoshi Tsunakawa.
Tsunakawa is likely to make a final decision on the deal at a board meeting Thursday and make an announcement the same day. Toshiba had told Western Digital a deal would be reached on condition the U. S. company drops its legal actions.
Western Digital, which has jointly invested in Toshiba’s Yokkaichi flash memory plant in central Japan, has taken the Japanese conglomerate to court to block the sale of Toshiba Memory Corp, claiming a sale without its consent would breach their joint venture contract.
The Western Digital-led consortium has so far raised 1.9 trillion yen ($17 billion) of Toshiba’s 2 trillion yen asking price for Toshiba Memory. The California-based company has proposed paying 150 billion yen of that amount by purchasing bonds convertible into common shares, forgoing voting rights for the time being.
Monday’s negotiations were also expected to be focused on the size of the voting rights in Toshiba Memory that Western Digital will be entitled to in the future. It may alternatively accept preferred shares.
Toshiba hopes to keep Western Digital’s voting privilege under 20 percent in consideration of antitrust regulations in the various countries it does business in.
Toshiba Memory will remain under Japanese control, with more than 60 percent of voting rights at the company to be held by Japanese parties, sources have said.
The price tag will also be covered by investments of 300 billion yen each from the government-backed Innovation Network Corp of Japan, the Development Bank of Japan and U. S. fund Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. Toshiba is seeking to retain some shares in the unit.
Toshiba and the Western Digital consortium also agreed to take the unit public several years down the line.
Toshiba is racing to finalize the sale to raise money that would cover huge losses from its now-bankrupt U. S. nuclear power unit, Westinghouse Electric Co. The losses have plunged the Japanese conglomerate into negative net worth, a situation it must remedy by next March to avoid a delisting from the Tokyo stock market.
The legal dispute with Western Digital derailed Toshiba’s negotiations with a separate consortium including South Korean chipmaker SK Hynix Co and U. S. investment fund Bain Capital.

However, a source tells Us exclusively that the couple is continuing to head in a more serious direction. “Cardi and Offset are not engaged yet, but they are moving very fast!” says the insider. “They say they are living together, but they both have shows for the foreseeable future so they’ re going to spend as much time together as they did before.”
“Offset has bought Cardi so many diamonds, bags, shoes, he has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on her and she is so in love with him, ” the source continues. “I can see them getting engaged, but the report they got engaged over the weekend is not true. They do call each other husband and wife, though.”
