U.S. President Trump nominated Dr. Heidi Overton to be the next commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

President Trump said he regards Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's performance as very strong.

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said in an interview on the 19th that Israel will not tolerate Turkey expanding military deployments in Syria, particularly any extension of Turkish forces into southern Syria that would "pose a threat" to Israel. He said Israel has issued a clear warning to Turkey and added, "The message has been conveyed, but apparently they did not listen, so we will make sure they understand it better."
