US President Donald Trump’s Asia trip recently stopped by South Korea. Trump asked leaders of the World to stop any relations with North Korea.
He also continued to threaten Kim Jong-un despite being so close in the vicinity. Trump also told him to make a deal. He wanted Kim to negotiate by ending his nuclear program.
In recent weeks North Korea had quieted a bit. They haven’t launched any missiles recently. Yet there is still a great concern about their refusal to stop their nuclear activities.
Since starting his tour more warships have entered the Korean Peninsula.
Trump cited progress with North Korea but didn’t go into any details.
More Money
Trump said things are looking more favorable but still asked for more spending. So what exactly does he need $4 billion to do?
Trump wrote a letter to Congress asking for the rise in spending. He wrote “this request supports additional efforts to detect, defeat, and defend against any North Korean use of ballistic missiles against the United States, its deployed forces, allies, or partners.”
John McCain and Mac Thornberry said they would consider Trump’s request. They said “this request also underscores the threat posed by the rogue North Korean regime and the urgent need to boost our missile defense capabilities to meet it.”
This could be a welcoming change for the President who has found the going tough with McCain. Trump and McCain were recently at odds over health care.
