President Donald Trump said he is not planning to impose additional sanctions on North Korea, saying the two sides are “getting along very well.”

United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson called for a new nuclear deal with Iran and pointed to Donald Trump as the person who should negotiate it, in a Sept. 23 interview with NBC. "I think there's one guy who can do a better deal ... and that is the president of the United States. I hope there will be a Trump deal,” Johnson told NBC.

The United Kingdom plans to impose sanctions on countries that “arrest or intimidate dissident journalists,” Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said in an article for The Telegraph. Raab said the "Magnitsky" sanctions will take effect after Brexit, according to a Sept. 23 post on the EU Sanctions blog, and will include bans on U.K. entry and asset freezes.

The European Union has been “very slow” to impose more sanctions on Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro-led regime, a senior State Department official said Sept. 23. The U.S. wants the EU to follow through on sanctions it said it would impose if the Norway-brokered negotiation broke down between the Maduro regime and the opposition party, the official said. The talks ended earlier this month. “We all understand that they have their procedures and that it’s hard with 28 countries,” the official said of the EU, “but I would hope to see movement in October.”

The Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control on Sept. 24 sanctioned four entities and four vessels for operating in Venezuela's oil sector.

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said tariffs on autos are not related to national security.

Japan will eliminate or reduce tariffs on $7.2 billion of U.S. food and agriculture exports under a mini-deal with the country that the administration says replicates the agricultural access the U.S. would have received if it had joined the Trans Pacific Partnership.
