Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un are planning a new meeting. After meeting in Singapore last June in the wake of the G7, the two heads of state are ready to hold a new summit. In a speech on the occasion of the New Year, the North Korean leader said he no longer produces or tests nuclear weapons, which immediately triggered Donald Trump's reaction. The American President said in a tweet that he was "eager to meet President Kim". However, the North Korean head of state also warned in his speech that North Korea was ready to change its tone if the United States did not keep its promise of removing sanctions related to the nuclear issue.
The shutdown continues. Trump and the Democrats stand their ground. While Republican and Democratic leaders met Tuesday in Congress, no solution was found regarding the financing of the wall between Mexico and the United States. The Democrats, who now hold the majority of the House of Representatives, want to vote on the budget law on Thursday, the day Nancy Pelosi will start her term as speaker. But this bill, which does not include the $5 billion required by the president to build the wall, risks being rejected once again by Trump, although he has adopted a more conciliatory tone on twitter, calling on the Democrats to reach an agreement.
A new impetus for bilateral cooperation between China and the United States. On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of diplomatic relations, Xi Jinping and Donald Trump pledged to strengthen ties between the two countries. Xi Jinping wants to "advance relations between China and the United States with a central role of coordination, cooperation and stability" and Trump welcomed his "strong friendship" with the Chinese president, New China press agency reports.
In other news. At his inauguration yesterday, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro promised to "restore order" and free Brazil "from the yoke of corruption, crime, economic irresponsibility and ideological straitjacket". Trump congratulated his Brazilian counterpart on Twitter.
“Kim Jong Un says North Korea will not make or test nuclear weapons, or give them to others - & he is ready to meet President Trump anytime.” PBS News Hour. I also look forward to meeting with Chairman Kim who realizes so well that North Korea possesses great economic potential!

Border Security and the Wall “thing” and Shutdown is not where Nancy Pelosi wanted to start her tenure as Speaker! Let’s make a deal?
