Trump's phone, however, is still capable of intercepting and potentially analyzing incoming calls. The Trump Organization‏ has announced that it will stop selling its iPhone software, which it says uses the same encryption technology used by Apple, to third parties that receive foreign calls.

"I do not believe that the government will ever be able to intercept the voice, video, and text of people who call us," Trump said Wednesday during a speech in Mar-a-Lago, Florida. The executive order was signed by four top administration officials from the Department of Commerce, Justice, Energy and Commerce, the Department of Homeland Security, Transportation, and the National Science Foundation. He also ordered a review of what he said were the Trump Organization's use of a common server.

In October, Trump visited Russia and the Russian government on a series of visits that he promised would be an "incredible show of force." He also met with Russian President Vladimir Putin on a visit to the Chinese city of Vladivostok, where he spoke on the sidelines of an emergency summit that was to take place later that month. The meeting was an effort to further bolster ties between the two countries during his first 100 days in office. Both countries have been pressing the Trump administration to lift sanctions on Russia, though he has yet to respond.

In August, the White House announced that President Trump had agreed to lift the sanctions on Russia, a move that Russia denied, and he had previously promised to lift them.

While Trump's administration is a complex and complicated affair, it has been largely unanticipated. The administration's history of pushing for sanctions hasn't been as complex as it might have been in the past, and the Trump administration has largely maintained that it has the means to respond to any serious threats to its interests, even if it is to be used as a bargaining chip with the West in its ongoing efforts to resolve the Middle East crisis.

The president has often made repeated promises that he would address any concerns about trade. He told the Wall Street Journal last summer that he would end the trade war with China, which he described as a "trade war." But in that episode, the president suggested that he would try to get China to stop manipulating its currency, as he said he intended to do once he was there.

Trump has also been critical of the U.S. military and the world's allies. He has said that China is a threat to his empire, which he called "somebody else's problem." The Trump Organization is among a handful
