** Good Evening,
------------------------------------------------------------
It's Wednesday, August 15th.


** Turkey Tariffs
------------------------------------------------------------
Turkey sharply raised tariffs Wednesday on some U.S. imports as a court kept a detained U.S. pastor under house arrest, extending a fight between the two NATO allies that has sent the country’s currency plummeting, as the
WSJ reports (https://www.wsj.com/articles/turkeys-economic-red-flags-stand-out-among-emerging-markets-1534336200?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=bf9aae4a6a-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_08_15_09_25&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-bf9aae4a6a-145367789) .

------------------------------------------------------------
The United States on Wednesday imposed sanctions on a Russian port service agency and Chinese firms for aiding North Korean ships and selling alcohol and tobacco to Pyongyang in breach of U.S. sanctions aimed at pressuring North Korea to end its nuclear programs, as Reuters reports (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-northkorea-sanctions/u-s-targets-chinese-and-russian-firms-with-breach-of-north-korea-sanctions-idUSKBN1L01N2?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=bf9aae4a6a-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_08_15_09_25&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-bf9aae4a6a-145367789) .

Taliban insurgents overran an Afghan Army base and a police checkpoint in northern Afghanistan on Wednesday, killing at least 39 soldiers and police officers, officials said, and a suicide bomber in the capital killed at least 48 people in a classroom, as the
