US: Secretary of State Pompeo is scheduled to deliver a speech on "Communist

China and the future of the free world" at the Richard Nixon Presidential

Library in California at 1640ET/2140BST (will also be livestreamed on

www.state.gov). 

- Will be watched for further indications of U.S. policy toward China, at a time

of escalating diplomatic tensions. It's unlikely to be reconciliatory; Pompeo

said Wednesday: "We are setting out clear expectations for how the Chinese

Communist Party is going to behave, and when they don't, we're going to take

actions that protect the American people, protect our security, our national

security, and also protect our economy and jobs."

- White House press Sec McEnany said today Pompeo would deliver remarks on China

at 1600ET, unclear whether she was referring to the above event, or whether this

would be pre-speech remarks.
