THE LEAD STORY - NETANYAHU TRIES TO SWAY TRUMP IRAN DECISION: President Trump called the Iran nuclear deal a "horrible agreement for the United States" in response to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bombshell allegations about Tehran's covert activity – but stopped short of saying whether he'd abandon the deal ahead of a looming deadline ... The president addressed the claims during a Rose Garden press conference Monday, moments after Netanyahu held a dramatic presentation revealing intelligence he says shows Iran is lying about its nuclear weapons program. "That is just not an acceptable situation," Trump said. Trump said Netanyahu's claims show Iran is "not sitting back idly." Trump has repeatedly expressed a desire to exit the Iran deal, which was signed during the Obama administration. A crucial deadline for re-certifying the deal is on the horizon. CARAVAN 'INVASION' AT THE BORDER: Almost 200 migrants parked at the nation's busiest border crossing are planning to seek asylum in the U.S. following their dramatic journey in a caravan through Mexico, setting up a showdown with the Trump administration over immigration and asylum policy ... Eight women and children entered a border facility on Monday to formally file asylum papers, with the rest to follow soon, organizers said. Immigration officials confirmed the facility had begun "processing undocumented arrivals again." The caravan, which reached the border with San Diego after an approximately 2,000-mile trip, once included more than a thousand people. It is now down to a few hundred. The migrants' decision to seek asylum comes just one day after U.S. officials closed the border facility there because it was at capacity. MUELLER'S OUTLINE FOR TRUMP: Earlier this year, Russia Special counsel Robert Mueller outlined for President Trump's legal team more than 40 questions he planned to ask in a possible interview with the president, according to reports ... The list of questions, leaked by unnamed sources and reviewed by The Wall Street Journal, focuses mostly on Trump's decisions to fire former FBI Director James Comey and to dismiss former national security adviser Mike Flynn, who has pleaded guilty to lying to investigators about his contacts with Russia. One question, the New York Times reported, focused on whether the president had contacted Flynn about possible immunity or a pardon. POTENTIAL TRADE WAR AVOIDED - FOR NOW: The Trump administration announced that it would wait another 30 days before deciding whether to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from the European Union, Canada and Mexico -- temporarily avoiding a potential trade war with the 28-member bloc ahead of crucial trade talks with China this week ... The White House also said it had reached an agreement with South Korea on steel imports following discussions on a revised trade agreement, the outlines of which were previously announced by U.S. and South Korean officials. The administration also announced that it had reached agreements in principle with Argentina, Australia and Brazil on steel and aluminum that will be finalized shortly.
