"The decision to pull out of the Iran deal is the latest example of the administration’s aggressive unilateralism," Financial Times chief foreign affairs commentator Gideon Rachman writes from London (subscription).
The big picture: "America’s allies may harrumph that it is unacceptable for the US to walk away from the Iran deal or the Paris climate accord, but there is not much they can do about it. After all, European allies depend not only on the dollar, but also ... on American military protection."
Senior vice president and head of engineering at Tesla, Doug Field, is reportedly "taking a break" from the company citing the need to "recharge" and be with his family, Bloomberg reports. The announcement rides on the heels of CEO Elon Musk taking over responsibilities of the production department amid the "rocky ramping up of the Model 3 sedan."
Why it matters: Field's break comes at a time when the company is seeking to show investors that it can maintain recent momentum in scaling up production of the mass market Model 3 — a product that’s critical to the Silicon Valley electric automaker’s future.
