The Trump administration is applauding the January jobs reports.

This comes as the President signs executive order taking aim at Dodd-Frank financial overhaul.

Last month's jobs report, which showed the U.S. economy adding 227,000 jobs and the unemployment rate at 4.8 percent.

The report also says that more Americans started looking for work, although not all of them found jobs immediately.

"Today's report reflects the consumer confidence that the Trump presidency has inspired," said White House press secretay Sean Spicer.

"President Trump campaigned on how to make America work again. Even before he took office, the markets knew he would deliver on that promise."

President Donald Trump also signed an executive order that will direct the Treasury secretary to review the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial overhaul.

It's Trump's first step at scaling back regulations on financial services.

Trump has called the law a "disaster" and said it failed to address some of the causes of the 2008-2009 financial crisis.

US President Donald Trump said he's decided to withdraw support for a treaty regulating the multibillion-dollar global arms trade.

It's the latest example of the Trump administration's dislike of international pacts.

Trump said on Friday that he has decided to revoke the United States' status as a signatory of the Arms Trade Treaty regulating international trade in conventional weapons, including small arms, battle tanks, combat aircraft and warships.

He said America was "rejecting this treaty" and "taking our signature back".

Trump made the announcement during a speech in Indianapolis to the National Rifle Association, which claims the treaty poses a threat to the Second Amendment.

The US signed the treaty in 2013 but never ratified it.

12. Spicer exiting briefing room

STORYLINE:

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said on Wednesday that the US administration is "doing the prudent thing" by conducting a 90-day interagency review of the Iran nuclear deal to make sure Iran is living up to its side of the agreement.

"Part of this is to get the entire team to look at it the next 90 days, review that is required under the deal," Spicer said. "So we will have recommendations presented to the president on where the deal stands and how to act further."

The Trump administration has notified Congress that Iran is complying with the terms of the 2015 nuclear deal negotiated by former President Barack Obama, and says the U.S. has extended the sanctions relief given to the Islamic republic in exchange for curbs on its atomic program.

However, in a letter sent late Tuesday to House Speaker Paul Ryan, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the administration has undertaken a full review of the agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.

The certification of Iran's compliance, which must be sent to Congress every 90 days, is the first issued by the Trump administration.

The deadline for this certification was midnight.

As a candidate in the 2016 presidential election, Donald Trump was an outspoken critic of the deal but had offered conflicting opinions on whether he would try to scrap it, modify it or keep it in place with more strenuous enforcement.

Tuesday's determination suggested that while Trump agreed with findings by the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, that Iran is keeping to its end of the bargain, he is looking for another way to ratchet up pressure on Tehran.

Spicer also told reporters at the briefing that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas was scheduled to visit Washington early in May and hold talks with Trump.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has defended President Donald Trump's "America First" foreign policy, saying the president is "not afraid to try diplomatic tactics where the old ones were simply not getting the outcomes that America needs and deserves."

Pompeo was speaking at a Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) gathering in Orlando, Florida on Monday.

Pompeo said the U.S. is maintaining pressure on North Korea while "keeping an outstretched hand for diplomacy."

He also got a laugh when he said he thinks that he's spent more time with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un than any other American, "now surpassing Dennis Rodman."

Pompeo also announced the U.S. is imposing sanctions on Zhuhai Zhenrong Limited and its chief executive for violating restrictions on Iran's oil industry.

The U.S. sanctions are part of the Trump administration's effort to increase pressure on Iran by starving its economy.

Oil exports are Iran's largest source of foreign income and the U.S. campaign has raised tensions between the two countries.

China has continued to import Iranian oil as other countries have stopped out of fear of U.S. penalties.

Pompeo also insisted that "America First does not mean America alone."

Despite tensions between the U.S. and traditional allies over NATO funding, the Iran nuclear deal and international trade, he said that relations are strong between the U.S. and allies in Eastern Europe, the Persian Gulf and the Pacific region.  

And he said U.S. relations with Israel were "unequalled."

He also promised that the administration would keep as a top priority getting the remains of any fallen soldiers returned to the U.S.

Finally, Pompeo briefly touched on the administration's effort to protect U.S. service personnel from prosecution by the International Criminal Court.

Earlier this year, Pompeo announced the U.S. would repeal or deny visas to any ICC staff trying to investigate Americans in Afghanistan and elsewhere.

"This administration has moved heaven and earth to prevent them from wrongfully prosecuting anyone in this room, or anyone other who has served in the United States armed forces," he said.

The Trump administration is applauding the January jobs reports.

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer on Friday addressed last month's job report, which showed the U.S. economy adding 227,000 jobs and the unemployment rate at 4.8 percent.

The report also says that more Americans started looking for work, although not all of them found jobs immediately.

Trump also signed an executive order that will direct the Treasury secretary to review the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial overhaul.

It's Trump's first step at scaling back regulations on financial services.

Trump has called the law a "disaster" and said it failed to address some of the causes of the 2008-2009 financial crisis.

STORYLINE:

President Donald Trump lashed out at his intelligence chiefs on Wednesday, calling them "naive" and "passive" after they told Congress that North Korea is unlikely to dismantle its nuclear arsenal and that the Iran nuclear deal is working.

Trump tweeted: "The Intelligence people seem to be extremely passive and naive when it comes to the dangers of Iran. They are wrong!" and  "Perhaps Intelligence should go back to school!"

On Wednesday, Iranian foreign minister Javad Zarif, tweeted to Trump #ThatAwkwardMoment, "When @realDonaldTrump's own intelligence agencies contradict what he, the warmongers in his admin, and the Israelis say about Iran."  

U.S. intelligence agencies told Congress on Tuesday that North Korea is unlikely to dismantle its nuclear arsenal, that the Islamic State group remains a threat and that the Iran nuclear deal is working. The chiefs made no mention of a crisis at the U.S.-Mexican border for which Trump has considered declaring a national emergency.

The U.S. intelligence agencies also said Iran continues to work with other parties to the nuclear deal it reached with the U.S. and other Western nations.

In doing so, they said, it has at least temporarily lessened the nuclear threat. In May 2018, Trump withdrew the U.S. from that accord, which he called a terrible deal that would not stop Iran from going nuclear.

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday called Iran a "corrupt dictatorship" and said his country stands with the Iranian people "in their courageous struggle for freedom".

He was referring to anti-government protest that took place earlier this month across Iran, which saw dozens of people killed and thousands arrested across the country.

During his first State of the Union address on Tuesday night, Trump once again criticised the 2015 deal reached with Iran to curb its nuclear programme.

"I am asking the Congress to address the fundamental flaws in the terrible Iran nuclear deal," he said.

Trump has threatened to abandon the deal this spring unless it is fixed to his liking.

"The president is directing an interagency review of the deal to review that, and we have 90 days before the next one comes up, and we'll have more. But, right now we're undergoing a 90 day review, and I think the statement the secretary of state made to Congress clearly stated that the president is directing the National Security Council to lead an interagency review of the plan and evaluate whether suspension sanctions related to Iran, pursuant to the JCPOA (Iran nuclear deal) are in the vital interest of our national security. The letter clearly lays out what the president is going to do make sure they are living up to their agreement."

+++WHITE FLASH+++

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Sean Spicer, White House Press Secretary:

"(Reporter) Is the president concerned that Iran may be cheating on the JCPOA? David Albright, the noted weapons inspector, says they're developing a new centrifuge which he says could be a violation.

(Spicer) And I think that's why he's asking for this review. If he didn't and he thought everything was fine, he would have allowed this to move forward. He's doing the prudent thing by asking for a review of the current deal and what's happening."

+++WHITE FLASH+++

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Sean Spicer, White House Press Secretary:

"(Reporter) The president has said that he would like to see the nuclear deal renegotiated with Iran. How specifically does he plan to get a new deal? Is that something he still wants to do?

(Spicer) Well, again, that's why we're undergoing this interagency review. Part of this is to get the entire team to look at it the next 90 days, review that is required under the deal. So we will have recommendations presented to the president on where the deal stands and how to act further."

STORYLINE:

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer says the administration is "doing the prudent thing" by conducting a 90-day interagency review of the Iran nuclear deal to make sure Iran is living up to its side of the agreement.

"Part of this is to get the entire team to look at it the next 90 days, review that is required under the deal," Spicer said. "So we will have recommendations presented to the president on where the deal stands and how to act further."

The Trump administration has notified Congress that Iran is complying with the terms of the 2015 nuclear deal negotiated by former President Barack Obama, and says the U.S. has extended the sanctions relief given to the Islamic republic in exchange for curbs on its atomic program.

However, in a letter sent late Tuesday to House Speaker Paul Ryan, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the administration has undertaken a full review of the agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.

The certification of Iran's compliance, which must be sent to Congress every 90 days, is the first issued by the Trump administration. The deadline for this certification was midnight.

As a candidate in the 2016 presidential election, Trump was an outspoken critic of the deal but had offered conflicting opinions on whether he would try to scrap it, modify it or keep it in place with more strenuous enforcement.

Tuesday's determination suggested that while Trump agreed with findings by the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, that Iran is keeping to its end of the bargain, he is looking for another way to ratchet up pressure on Tehran.

“We agree with the administration that tax reforms are important and necessary. We also stressed, as the country report states, that supporting low and middle income households and promoting investments in human and physical capital formation would feed back into better growth and lead to more broad-based improvements in living standards over the medium term.”

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Bill Murray, Spokesperson, International Monetary Fund (IMF):

“The most important issue is that, to be sure that Greece has a strategy for how to deal with its exceptionally high level of nonperforming loans over the medium term. The ECB, the European Central Bank, has suggested that bringing forward already-scheduled stress test and undertaking targeted asset reviews will allow us to assess whether the current strategy for ensuring the soundness of the banking system is adequate. And lastly, we think that that this is a constructive proposal, that's what Poul underscored earlier today, a constructive proposal that achieves the same broad objectives. And we are discussing the exact modalities with our colleagues in the ECB regarding dealing with nonperforming loans over the medium term.”

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Bill Murray, Spokesperson, International Monetary Fund (IMF):

“We're, indeed, in close contact with the authorities regarding pension reform. Its implementation remains a critical condition for the fourth review of the IMF program with Ukraine. We urge the authorities and the Parliament to ensure that the adopted pension law achieves the objectives of the reform which has been worked out in liaison with the IMF and the World Bank. We stand ready to further cooperate closely with the authorities on any possible revisions the draft pension law may require in order to meet the objectives of the reform.”

8. Wide shot, IMF building exterior

International Monetary Fund (IMF) spokesperson Bill Murray said his organization supports US tax reform in principle, but is looking for details on the new proposal backed by the Trump Administration before passing judgement on its impact.

Speaking to reporters in Washington DC today (28 Sep) Murray said, “Our general principle is tax reform is definitely needed in the United States. We're heartened that that is underway. Now we have to look at the details.”

In a recent working paper the IMF found that, depending on how a tax cut is targeted, it is possible to make some progress toward the first two objectives. Personal income tax cuts can help support growth and, if well targeted, can also help improve income distribution. However, the paper also found that lowering personal income tax rates does not raise growth enough to offset the revenue loss that is caused by the tax cut itself.

Murray said supporting low and middle income households and promoting investments in human and physical capital formation “would feed back into better growth and lead to more broad-based improvements in living standards over the medium term.”

A blog outlined the findings here: https://blogs.imf.org/2017/09/01/the-benefits-and-costs-of-a-u-s-tax-cut/

Turning to Greece, Murray said the IMF does not see any immediate financial stability concerns in the Greek banking system. He stressed, however, the need for a strategy to deal with Greece’s exceptionally high level of nonperforming loans over the medium term as outlined by Poul Thomsen, Director of the European Department, during a speech in London earlier Thursday.

The IMF spokesperson said, “We think that that this is a constructive proposal, that's what Poul underscored earlier today, a constructive proposal that achieves the same broad objectives,” adding that the IMF is discussing the exact modalities with the European Central Bank (ECB) regarding dealing with “nonperforming loans over the medium term.”

Murray also reiterated the need for pension reform in Ukraine. He said the IMF urges the authorities and the Parliament “to ensure that the adopted pension law achieves the objection of the reform which has been worked out in liaison with the IMF and the World Bank.” He noted that the IMF stands ready to “further cooperate closely with the authorities on any possible revisions the draft pension law may require in order to meet the objections of the reform.”

President Donald Trump doubled down on his accusation that the special counsel's investigation is a "witch hunt."

The president sent out tweets Monday morning claiming "there was NO COLLUSION. So now the Dems go to a simple private transaction, wrongly call it a campaign contribution."

In a follow-up tweet Trump claimed "Cohen just trying to get his sentence reduced."

This comes after filings Friday, where prosecutors in New York for the first time link Trump to a federal crime of illegal payments to buy the silence of two women during the 2016 campaign.

Special counsel Robert Mueller's office also laid out previously undisclosed contacts between Trump associates and Russian intermediaries and suggested the Kremlin aimed early on to influence Trump and his Republican campaign by playing to both his political and personal business interests.

AP's White House reporter Jill Colvin says "the president has made this argument now for a number of months claiming that it's not actually a campaign contribution because the money came from him personally and not the campaign's bank account."

"The reason we have campaign finance laws, the ways that they're written are that if you make a contribution, if you spend money that is supposed to help a presidential candidate or any candidate for that matter, attain office then that counts as a campaign contribution regardless of which bank account comes from."

Cohen is expected to be sentenced later this week.

And a judge has set a court date for Tuesday afternoon for former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort  after prosecutors with the special counsel's office detailed lies they say he told them.

In a court filing Friday night, special counsel Robert Mueller said Manafort had lied about contacts with Trump administration officials and with an associate who U.S. authorities say has ties to Russian intelligence.

Manafort's attorneys have denied that he made false statements.

Manafort pleaded guilty to conspiracy in September and agreed to cooperate with Mueller's investigation. But prosecutors say his deception has torpedoed that plea deal.

....which it was not (but even if it was, it is only a CIVIL CASE, like Obama's - but it was done correctly by a lawyer and there would not even be a fine. Lawyer's liability if he made a mistake, not me). Cohen just trying to get his sentence reduced. WITCH HUNT!

You know every time one of these documents come out, it seems like the investigations get closer and closer to the president. Firstly, talking about Michael Cohen, this is the president's former lawyer, a guy who used to describe himself as the president's fixer. And we learned in these court documents one coming from the special counsel's office and then another document coming from prosecutors in New York, who are the ones who've been working his case there."

"And we found out a number of relevant things, the most important arguably is the fact that prosecutors believe Michael Cohen when he says that he paid, remember Michael Cohen has been charged with campaign finance violations for these hush money payments to two women who accused President Trump of affairs. Trump has denied those accusations. But nonetheless Cohen arranged payments to these women during the campaign, to make sure that they didn't come forward with their stories. According, to one of those filings, it was the president who directed Michael Cohen to make those payments in order to hide those stories."

The reason we have campaign finance laws, the ways that they're written are that if you make a contribution, if you spend money that is supposed to help a presidential candidate or any candidate for that matter, attain office then that counts as a campaign contribution regardless of which bank account comes from. Also complicated by the fact that the president, at least for a large portion of his campaign was very much self-financing and so those boxes didn't matter as much as they might for traditional candidates. So, the president's argument there doesn't really stand."

There will be a lot of questions about who Manafort was talking to in the Trump administration.

Republican Donald Trump is receiving an enthusiastic response from veterans as he criticizes Democrats and vows to reform the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Trump is telling veterans gathered at the annual convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Charlotte that: "Our politicians have totally failed you."

Trump offered a 10-step fix for the VA healthcare system, including asking Congress to pass legislation giving the VA secretary more authority to remove poor employees, plus increasing outreach and the number of mental health care professionals in the system.

Clinton on Monday spoke at the same gathering and offered a scathing critique of Trump's foreign policy, casting him as too reckless to serve as the country's commander in chief.

But when Trump mentioned Clinton's name on Tuesday, it was met with shouts of "Lock her up!"

Trump jokes, "I guess she didn't do very well" with the crowd.

DONALD TRUMP: On whether his now-defunct Trump University provided value to students it enrolled, "We have an A from the Better Business Bureau."

MARCO RUBIO: "The Better Business Bureau gave it a D-minus."

MEGYN KELLY of Fox News: "With respect, we went back and looked at this...The rating from the Better Business Bureau was a D-minus."

THE FACTS: Trump's school only had an A rating from the Better Business Bureau after it stopped taking students, in 2011. At the time the school was operating, in 2010, news sources reported the D-minus rating. The bureau has said the school's rating fluctuated.

Trump has portrayed a lawsuit brought against his school as the work of a law firm that recruited former students to try to squeeze money out of him.

DONALD TRUMP: Families of the 9-11 hijackers were allowed to leave the U.S. around the time of the attacks, even though "they knew what was happening. The wife knew exactly what was happening. They left two days early ... and they watched their husband on television flying into the World Trade Center, flying into the Pentagon."

THE FACTS: No relatives of the hijackers were known to be in the U.S. before or after the attacks.

Trump appears to be confusing relatives of the hijackers with relatives of Osama bin Laden who were in the U.S. at the time. They left the U.S. nine days after the attacks, not two days before.

After bin Laden became the prime suspect in the attacks, Saudi Arabia organized the evacuation of more than 20 members of his family - mostly nieces and nephews - from the United States because some feared reprisals from Americans. The Bush administration came under harsh criticism for the action.

MARCO RUBIO dismissed Trump's business record, saying he "inherited over $100 million."

THE FACTS: That's hard to pin down. Trump's father, Fred Trump, died in 1999, and left behind an estate publicly estimated at between $200 to $250 million. But no firm numbers are available - and the estate was to be split among Trump and two of his siblings.

If Rubio's estimate is high, however, Trump's insistence that he only received a "small loan" from his father is even harder to justify. Fred Trump not only gave his son an initial stake, but also guaranteed loans on the Grand Hyatt project that first made Trump's name. Fred Trump also let his son borrow against his future inheritance - and, in 1991, one of Trump's casinos admitted it had broken New Jersey law by accepting an illicit $3.5 million loan from Fred Trump.

If Rubio's estimate is high, however, Trump's insistence that he only received a "small loan" from his father is even harder to justify. Fred Trump not only gave his son an initial stake, but also guaranteed loans on the Grand Hyatt project that first made Trump's name. Fred Trump also let his son borrow against his future inheritance - and, in 1991, one of Trump's casinos admitted it had broken New Jersey law by accepting an illicit $3.5 million loan from Fred Trump.

"So this is, this is kind of a new development in the last week or two in which Rubio and Cruz are going after Donald Trump's business record. Previously there's been a lot of public records stuff out there, a lot of reporting on it in the past, but the candidates had really shied away from it. So last night, for example, one of the big things they went for was Trump University, which is a for-profit real estate seminar company. You can't really quite say it was an educational institution because the State of New York never authorized it to speak of itself as such."

"So Donald Trump last night said that family members of the 9/11 hijackers had been escorted out of the country in the days after the attacks. We're not entirely clear what he was referencing, but what we think it was is that following the 9/11 attacks, members of the Bin Laden family, and we're talking very distant relatives, not you know sort of his sister, were escort, or were allowed to leave country under the George W. Bush administration. And there was certainly some questions about whether or not that was prudent and whether there's been questioning or things like that, but the US really didn't push this. That said, the idea that 9/11 hijackers had family members here and we just sort of let them walk isn't accurate, as best we know."

"So how much money Donald Trump has at any given time has been a remarkably difficult thing to pin down. Donald Trump himself will tell you it's $10 billion plus, but you start looking into that and there are certainly very reasonable estimates that put it at in the realm of sort of three to four billion dollars and honestly it's very hard to actually determine these things without sort of full access to his books. Now his tax records would kind of help, but he hasn't released those. So in terms of the inheritance, and whether Donald Trump basically got born on third base, as the saying goes, that there is some truth to that. He certainly did receive a significant amount of money to begin his career with his father and perhaps even more than the money, his father sort of got him set up with construction contacts. He guaranteed debt on one of his first big projects, the Grand Hyatt in Manhattan and in fact his father at one point when Donald Trump was really struggling in the casino business sent a lawyer into one of Trump's casinos to buy $3.5 million worth of casino chips."

DONALD TRUMP: On whether his now-defunct Trump University provided value to students it enrolled, "We have an A from the Better Business Bureau."

MARCO RUBIO: "The Better Business Bureau gave it a D-minus."

MEGYN KELLY of Fox News: "With respect, we went back and looked at this...The rating from the Better Business Bureau was a D-minus."

THE FACTS: Trump's school only had an A rating from the Better Business Bureau after it stopped taking students, in 2011. At the time the school was operating, in 2010, news sources reported the D-minus rating. The bureau has said the school's rating fluctuated.

Trump has portrayed a lawsuit brought against his school as the work of a law firm that recruited former students to try to squeeze money out of him.

DONALD TRUMP: Families of the 9-11 hijackers were allowed to leave the U.S. around the time of the attacks, even though "they knew what was happening. The wife knew exactly what was happening. They left two days early ... and they watched their husband on television flying into the World Trade Center, flying into the Pentagon."

THE FACTS: No relatives of the hijackers were known to be in the U.S. before or after the attacks.

Trump appears to be confusing relatives of the hijackers with relatives of Osama bin Laden who were in the U.S. at the time. They left the U.S. nine days after the attacks, not two days before.

After bin Laden became the prime suspect in the attacks, Saudi Arabia organized the evacuation of more than 20 members of his family - mostly nieces and nephews - from the United States because some feared reprisals from Americans. The Bush administration came under harsh criticism for the action.

MARCO RUBIO dismissed Trump's business record, saying he "inherited over $100 million."

THE FACTS: That's hard to pin down. Trump's father, Fred Trump, died in 1999, and left behind an estate publicly estimated at between $200 to $250 million. But no firm numbers are available - and the estate was to be split among Trump and two of his siblings.

Republican Donald Trump received an enthusiastic response from veterans as he criticized Democrats and vowed to reform the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Trump told veterans gathered at the annual convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Charlotte that: "Our politicians have totally failed you."

Trump offered a 10-step fix for the VA healthcare system, including asking Congress to pass legislation giving the VA secretary more authority to remove poor employees, plus increasing outreach and the number of mental health care professionals in the system.

Clinton on Monday spoke at the same gathering and offered a scathing critique of Trump's foreign policy, casting him as too reckless to serve as the country's commander in chief.

But when Trump mentioned Clinton's name on Tuesday, it was met with shouts of "Lock her up!"

Trump jokes, "I guess she didn't do very well" with the crowd.

+++WHITE FLASHES BETWEEN SOUNDBITES+++

1. SOUNDBITE (English) Donald Trump, (R) Presidential Nominee:

"The veterans health system will remain a public system because it is a public trust, but never again will we allow any veteran to suffer or die waiting for care. That means veterans will have the right to go to a VA facility, or the right to see a private doctor, or clinic of their choice whatever is fastest and best for the veteran."

+++WHITE FLASH+++

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Donald Trump, (R) Presidential Nominee:

"There will be no more five-day waits in line. If you are waiting in line, you're going to go to a private doctor across the street, a private or public hospital across the street or nearby and you are going to be taken care of quickly and efficiently. People are waiting in line five days, six days, seven days and many are dying."

+++WHITE FLASH+++

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Donald Trump, (R) Presidential Nominee:

"The other candidate in this race, you know her name, crooked Hillary Clinton, and believe me folks, she is crooked, has a much different view. She recently said of the VA scandal that it's not as widespread as it's been purported to be. It's like she's trying to sweep it under the rug, which by the way politicians have done for years and years and years. It's going to be four more years of the same."

+++WHITE FLASH+++

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Donald Trump, (R) Presidential Nominee:

"Just look at her invasion of Libya, and her handling of Benghazi, a disaster, or look at her emails, which put America's entire national security at risk.(Audience members "Lock her up, lock her up.")

"And to think she was here yesterday. I guess she didn't do very well."
