** Good Evening,
------------------------------------------------------------
It's Thursday, December 6th.


** Huawei Arrest
------------------------------------------------------------
China demanded the release of a senior executive at tech giant Huawei Technologies after she was detained in Canada on extradition charges to the U.S, as NBC News reports (https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/china-calls-release-huawei-executive-detained-canada-n944666?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=9e9cd5c43c-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_12_06_06_04&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-9e9cd5c43c-145367789) .

And, as the WSJ’s Lingling Wei and Eva Dou report (https://www.wsj.com/articles/arrest-of-senior-huawei-executive-steps-up-u-s-china-confrontation-1544109346?mod=hp_lead_pos4&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=9e9cd5c43c-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_12_06_06_04&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-9e9cd5c43c-145367789) , the arrest intensifies the confrontation in the already divisive China-U.S. negotiations on trade.

** Arms Treaty
------------------------------------------------------------
Russia must scrap its 9M729 nuclear-capable cruise missiles and launchers or modify the weapons’ range to return to compliance with a key Cold War-era arms control treaty and avert a U.S. pullout from the pact, a senior U.S. official said today, as Reuters’ Jonathan Landay and Arshad Mohammed report (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-russia-missiles/russia-must-scrap-or-alter-missiles-u-s-says-violate-arms-treaty-idUSKBN1O52A8?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=9e9cd5c43c-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_12_06_06_04&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-9e9cd5c43c-145367789) .

** Oil Prices Tumble
------------------------------------------------------------
Oil prices fell as much as 5 percent today after Saudi Arabia’s energy minister exited a fractious Opec meeting saying he was “not confident” a deal to cut crude production could be achieved between the cartel and its allies, as the
FT’s Anjli Raval and David Sheppard report (https://www.ft.com/content/6ea97c04-f942-11e8-8b7c-6fa24bd5409c?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=9e9cd5c43c-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_12_06_06_04&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-9e9cd5c43c-145367789) .


** Rollback of Sage Grouse Protections
------------------------------------------------------------
The Trump administration today published documents detailing its plan to roll back Obama-era protections for the vast habitat of the greater sage grouse, a chicken-like bird that roams across nearly 11 million acres in 10 oil-rich Western states, as the New York Times’ Coral Davenport reports (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/06/climate/trump-sage-grouse-oil.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=9e9cd5c43c-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_12_06_06_04&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-9e9cd5c43c-145367789) .

This graphic illustrates whether a Chinese auto tariff reduction would impact U.S. exports. President Trump claimed China agreed to drop its 40% tariff on U.S. car imports, but U.S. cars won't significantly impact the $375 billion trade deficit the U.S. had with China in 2017.

“Nine Tonight,” Seger’s masterful live record contains the best versions of classics like “Rock and Roll Never Forgets,” “Main Street” and maybe most of all “Hollywood Nights (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_D4eUWBAE_A&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=9e9cd5c43c-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_12_06_06_04&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-9e9cd5c43c-145367789) .”
