Chris Wallace compares Trump to Obama: Is Iran his 'red line moment'?
Fox News host Chris Wallace drew a comparison between former President Barack Obama's handling of Syria and President Trump's response to Iran. "You were very critical of President Obama's failure to enforce his red line against Syria after a chemical attack, saying that 'it raised questions about how strong U.S. security commitments and statements by the president were,'" Wallace said to Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., on Fox News Sunday.
"You were very critical of President Obama's failure to enforce his red line against Syria after a chemical attack, saying that 'it raised questions about how strong U.S. security commitments and statements by the president were,'" Wallace said to Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., on Fox News Sunday. "President Trump has repeatedly gone after Mr. Obama on the same thing," Wallace added. "Does this run the risk of being President Trump's red line moment?" Wallace asked.
The question comes after Trump canceled a retaliatory strike against Iran after they shot down a U.S. military drone. The canceled strike meant that the United States avoided for now what some have worried could be a prolonged military conflict if tensions continue to escalate.
In 2012, Obama warned Syrian President Bashar al-Assad against using chemical weapons, saying the move would "change my equation." “We have been very clear to the Assad regime, but also to other players on the ground, that a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized. That would change my calculus. That would change my equation,” Obama said. After reports came out that Syria had used chemical weapons, Obama later backed off from his "red line" comment telling reporters in 2013 that, "I didn’t set a red line. The world set a red line."

Big Tech's Data Dominance Is Mounting Worry for Central Bankers
As Facebook Inc., Alibaba Group Holdings Ltd. and big technology firms march deeper into the financial system, the world’s top central bankers say new restrictions may be needed to ensure they compete fairly with traditional lenders. The Bank for International Settlements, known as the bank for central bankers, said in a report on Sunday that regulators should take a more comprehensive approach and extend their focus to how tech companies can exploit customer data in anti-competitive ways. “Big techs are still a fairly small part of the financial-services industry at the moment, but they have the potential to spark rapid change,” said Hyun Song Shin, economic adviser and head of research at the BIS, which is based in Basel, Switzerland. “Big techs raise concerns that are more the traditional domain of competition authorities and data-privacy regulators, and to make that coordination there would need to be more of a concerted effort on the part of our political leaders.”
The report from central bankers comes only a few days after Facebook rolled out an ambitious plan for its own cryptocurrency. Facebook’s Libra coin is still months away from being used, but regulators are already beginning to scrutinize the project and warning that rules must be applied.
The BIS said big tech firms’ troves of data on their massive user bases suggest the need for privacy rules to level the playing field with banks. Without safeguards, technology companies could sell their own products at low costs while charging steep fees to financial firms wanting to pitch similar services on the tech platforms. While large banks have plenty of data, their ability to compete is hampered by outdated technology and restrictions, the BIS said. Big tech firms, meanwhile, can amass data more cheaply, grow faster and keep costs low, all of which could help provide financial services to customers who have trouble accessing conventional banks, the BIS said.
