The news remained constantly filled with something new from the American President. He was constantly saying or doing something controversial.
The latest controversy surrounded immigrants and ICE, a law enforcement agency who tackle immigration related issues.
A transcript was released where Trump called immigrants animals, though it wasn’t clear if he meant a particular group or immigrants in general.
Trump was expecting to still meet with Kim Jong-un despite threats to pull out of talks.
It was also announced that the U.S. demanded that North Korea ship it weapons to the U.S.
Strange Demand
The U.S. Government was certainly requesting something strange. At this point nothing had been accomplished between the two leaders.
All that was on the table were promises and those could be cancelled at any moment. So for America to make such demands at such a critical stage was surprising to say the least.
Nevertheless if North Korea gave into such demands one would have to assume that Trump knows what he is doing.
Trump still expected to meet with Kim despite threats of pulling out so it was just a waiting game to see how this all pans out.
When asked about the meeting Sarah Sanders said Trump was ready.
“If they want to meet, we’ll be ready and if they don’t, that’s OK too,” Sanders said.
She added: “I haven’t seen that that’s a specific thing. I know that that comment was made. There’s not a cookie-cutter model on how this would work. This is the President Trump model. He’s going to run this the way he sees fit. We’re 100% confident, as we’ve said many times before, as I’m sure you’re all aware, he’s the best negotiator and we’re very confident on that front.”
