You have done so much for so many people for so long. Thank you for allowing us to use this forum. Political wisdom holds that americans, the American Public doesnt vote on Foreign Policy. But i think thats an old way of thinking. In 2019 Foreign Policy is domestic policy in my view. And domestic policy is Foreign Policy. Theyre deeply connected. A deeply connected set of choices we make about how to advance the american way of life and our vision for the future.

President to enter north korea after crossing the demarcation line between the 2 careers with his counterpart came jungmann said a lot of progress had been made during their talks but sanctions against pyongyang do remain in place well our Senior Correspondent for a gas stove explains now whether the symbolic meeting could affect the almost total economic blockade of north korea. For all the buzz hype and the coverage denuclearization was going nowhere it had stalled again despite all the summits all the handshakes perhaps what it needed was something crazy something radical. The 1st sitting u. S. President to visit north korea who would have thought the worlds most militarized border to boot they shook hands again and talked him german and trump trying to
Or that well commish just gone midday here in moscow you watching r. T. International now making history donald trump has become the 1st u. S. President to enter north korea though the north korean media and trump himself up the meeting an amazing event the direct the reaction back home was far more muted if not outright critical vague talk about talks while kim continues to develop Nuclear Warheads and missiles seems like this gigantic p. R. Stunt in trenches unembellished as authoritarian rule without any real meaningful strategy for denuclearization out president shouldnt be squandering american influence on photo ops and exchanging love letters with a ruthless dictator instead we should be dealing with north korea through a principle diplomacy that promotes yes securitate defense how allies and uphold human rights. I have no problem with him sitting down with kim to noon in north korea or anyplace else but whats going to happen tomorrow and the next day if were going to bring peace
