Obama Pushes Trade In Asia, But Has 2016 Killed The TPP?:

It was their last, best chance at a big, bipartisan deal: President Barack Obama and congressional Republican leaders all agreed on free trade.

Just a little more than a year ago, that philosophical alignment looked like enough for Obama’s signature trade deal and centerpiece of his Asian pivot policy — the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership — to clear Congress.

Then the 2016 presidential campaign intervened. Now, as Obama participates in his last Southeast Asian summit to promote the pivot and its massive trade pact, the TPP looks like it’s headed to the political graveyard.

Duterte’s Tongue The Least Of Obama’s Philippine Problem:

t’s not just a runaway tongue that worries the United States about the volatile new president of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte. It’s what else he’s thinking.

A foul-mouthed outburst cost the new leader of Washington’s key Pacific ally a chance to meet President Barack Obama in Laos on Tuesday.

What To Expect At Apple’s iPhone Event:

On Wednesday, September 7, the company is holding its annual fall media event in San Francisco, where it typically unveils the new iPhone. This year, we may even see an option with a new shade of black added to the lineup.

But the device, likely called the iPhone 7, is just the main attraction. There’s a lot more expected, including a new version of the Apple Watch and software updates for all Apple products.

Get ready to hear an outpour of anger from Apple (AAPL, Tech30) fans over the removal of the headphone jack, too. The industry standard 3.5mm headphone jack doesn’t take up much space and works with most third-party headphones, but Apple is rumored to remove it all together in favor embracing wireless headphones.
