US sets Turkey deadline to give up Russian missile deal
Acting US Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan on Friday wrote to his Turkish counterpart, warning him of the consequences Ankara would face if it did not step back from a deal to buy a Russian air defense system. The US considers the S-400 air defense system a threat to NATO's F-35 fighter jet program. What Shanahan's letter says: If the Ankara government proceeds with its deal with Moscow, Washington will unwind the country's participation in the F-35 fighter jet program. Turkey will be forbidden from taking final delivery of the four F-35s it recently ordered. Training for Turkish personnel on the F-35 will be discontinued from the end of July. All Turkish personnel on the program must leave the US by the end of that month.

Obama cyber chief confirms 'stand down' order against Russian cyberattacks in summer 2016
The Obama White House’s chief cyber official testified Wednesday that proposals he was developing to counter Russia’s attack on the U.S. presidential election were put on a “back burner” after he was ordered to “stand down” his efforts in the summer of 2016. The comments by Michael Daniel, who served as White House “cyber security coordinator” between 2012 and January of last year, provided his first public confirmation of a much-discussed passage in the book, “Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin’s War on America and the Election of Donald Trump,” co-written by this reporter and David Corn, that detailed his thwarted efforts to respond to the Russian attack.
