『トランプ政権が「航行の自由作戦」に遅まきながら踏み切ったことは歓迎すべきことです。作戦が行われたのはミスチーフ礁の海域ですが、国際法上、ミスチーフ礁は低潮高地（満潮時に水没する地形）とされ、領海を持ちません。したがって、駆逐艦デューイがその12カイリ内で転落救助訓練を行い、明確に「無害通航」でない態様で航行したことは、その海域が公海であるとの認識を表示する効果を持つ

アチソンは1950年1月、「不後退防衛線」つまり譲れない領域として、日本・沖縄・フィリピン・アリューシャン列島を挙げました（「アチソン・ライン」）を表明して朝鮮半島を中ソの草刈り場として提供する合図を出したので朝鮮戦争が始まった。
President Donald Trump opened Friday's two hour and 15 minute meeting with Russia's Vladimir Putin by pressing him about Moscow's attempts to interfere in the 2016 election, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said.
Trump started by "raising the concerns of the American people" over Russian meddling and "pressed" Putin on the issue "on more than one occasion," according to Tillerson, who sat in on the meeting on the sidelines of the G-20 summit in Germany.
Putin again denied trying to influence the election. Tillerson called the denial a "hindrance in the ability of us to move the U.S.-Russia relationship forward."
Trump tweeted ahead of his arrival in Hamburg, Germany: "Everyone here is talking about why John Podesta refused to give the DNC server to the FBI and the CIA. Disgraceful!"
Podesta was the former chair of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign whose emails were stolen after he fell for a phishing scheme; however, Podesta did not run the Democratic National Committee -- which also had its email system breached.
Several U.S. intelligence agencies expressed confidence the meddling was the work of the Russian government, a viewpoint Trump largely accepts -- however, Trump also contends other actors may have been involved.
