We are getting very close to meeting our objectives as we consider winding down our great Military efforts in the Middle East with respect to the Terrorist Regime of Iran: (1) Completely degrading Iranian Missile Capability, Launchers, and everything else pertaining to them. (2) Destroying Iran’s Defense Industrial Base. (3) Eliminating their Navy and Air Force, including Anti Aircraft Weaponry. (4) Never allowing Iran to get even close to Nuclear Capability, and always being in a position where the U.S.A. can quickly and powerfully react to such a situation, should it take place. (5) Protecting, at the highest level, our Middle Eastern Allies, including Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, and others. The Hormuz Strait will have to be guarded and policed, as necessary, by other Nations who use it — The United States does not! If asked, we will help these Countries in their Hormuz efforts, but it shouldn’t be necessary once Iran’s threat is eradicated. Importantly, it will be an easy Military Operation for them. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Ackman pushes Trump administration to retire Fannie and Freddie shares
Investing.com -- Hedge fund manager Bill Ackman met with Trump administration officials this month to advocate for the retirement of the government’s senior preferred shares in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, according to Barron’s.
The Pershing Square CEO presented his proposal during meetings with several key officials, including National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett, White House Deputy Chief of Staff James Blair, Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte, and Treasury Under Secretary for Domestic Finance Jonathan McKernan.
Ackman’s request centers on retiring the government’s senior preferred shares, which give it a $370 billion claim on the two mortgage-finance firms. The hedge fund manager has been publicly pushing this plan over the last several months.
The meetings represent part of a broader campaign by investors with stakes in the outcome to persuade President Donald Trump to help them realize returns on their shares in the two companies.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac remain under government control, and their release from that status appears to be some time away.
