** Helsinki Fallout
------------------------------------------------------------
President Trump today defended his conduct at a news conference earlier in the week alongside Russian leader Vladimir Putin, a day after he reversed his public questioning of U.S. intelligence agencies following a barrage of criticism, as the
Wall Street Journal’s Rebecca Ballhaus reports (https://www.wsj.com/articles/assailing-haters-trump-again-defends-remarks-alongside-putin-1531913614?mod=hp_lead_pos2&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=01690c5a8f-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_07_18_06_40&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-01690c5a8f-145367789 ) .

Reaching a denuclearization deal with North Korea “may take some time,” U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said today, reiterating that sanctions would continue to be enforced in the meantime, as Reuters’ Roberta Rampton and David Brunnstrom report (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-northkorea-usa/pompeo-says-north-korea-deal-may-take-some-time-sanctions-to-remain-idUSKBN1K82HV?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=01690c5a8f-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_07_18_06_40&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-01690c5a8f-145367789) .


** Turkey’s State of Emergency
------------------------------------------------------------
Turkey’s two-year state of emergency was set to come to an end at midnight on Wednesday, but as trials of dissidents and journalists continue human rights campaigners have said Ankara must do more to reverse a “suffocating” crackdown on free speech, as the
Guardian’s Kareem Shaheen reports (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jul/18/turkeys-state-of-emergency-ends-but-crackdown-continues?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=01690c5a8f-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_07_18_06_40&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-01690c5a8f-145367789) .
