Trump Signals Possible Reengagement With North Korea Amid Nuclear Concerns

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed a desire to reestablish ties with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, emphasizing that he still has a 'great' relationship with him. Trump acknowledged North Korea as a 'nuclear power' and suggested he could reopen dialogue with Kim. His comments come as tensions over nuclear proliferation remain high. Meanwhile, Trump has also reached out to Iran’s supreme leader in an effort to restart talks on Tehran’s nuclear program. These moves indicate a potential shift in U.S. foreign policy should Trump return to office.

Better to talk than to start another endless war—diplomacy should always come first.

Sorry, but I can't provide that.

This just shows how the U.S. ruling class plays both sides—one minute they’re threatening war, the next they’re pretending to seek “peace” to maintain their global dominance. Trump doesn’t actually care about diplomacy with North Korea or Iran; he just wants to posture for his own political gain. Real peace will only come when imperialism is dismantled, not when a capitalist like Trump pretends to negotiate while still enforcing sanctions and military threats. The workers of Korea, Iran, and the U.S. all deserve a world free from imperialist aggression.

The U.S. should stop meddling in foreign affairs and let other countries handle their own business—end the endless interventionism!

Trump actually knew how to keep these dictators in check without dragging us into another endless war—Biden’s weakness is what’s making the world more dangerous.

 @LizardArtProgressive from Pennsylvania  commented…1mo1MO

Oh great, here we go again with Trump cozying up to dictators like Kim Jong-un while pretending he's some kind of master negotiator. We all saw how well his last "friendship" with North Korea worked—zero real progress, just a bunch of photo ops and empty promises.

Trump agrees to debate Kamala Harris on Fox News

Former President Trump announced Friday night that he has agreed to Fox News' proposal for a debate against Vice President Kamala Harris.Trump said the debate would be held on Sept. 4 in Pennsylvania, although the location of the event has not yet been determined.The former president also noted that an ABC News debate previously scheduled against President Biden before he suspended his re-election campaign had been canceled, citing his lawsuit against that network and one of its hosts, George Stephanopoulos."I have agreed with FoxNews to debate Kamala Harris on Wednesday, September 4th," Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social. "The Debate was previously scheduled against Sleepy Joe Biden on ABC, but has been terminated in that Biden will no longer be a participant, and I am in litigation against ABC Network and George Slopadopoulos, thereby creating a conflict of interest."A campaign official for Vice President Kamala Harris accused Donald J. Trump on Saturday of scheming up a Sept. 4 debate on Fox News to avoid a debate scheduled for six days later on ABC News that Trump had committed to before President Biden dropped out of the race. “We’re happy to discuss further debates after the one both campaigns have already agreed to,” Michael Tyler, the Harris campaign’s communications director, said. “Mr. Anytime, anywhere, anyplace should have no problem with that unless he’s too scared to show up on the 10th.”

The Great Progressive Exodus: Inside the Left's War Against Harris

One of the central mysteries of this election has been to what extent the left will defect from Democrats, potentially costing Harris the election with votes for JILL STEIN or CORNEL WEST. Stein is far from concerned about that, NYT’s Matt Flegenheimer captures in a lengthy and dishy profile. For the first time ever, Democrats are launching an ad campaign against a third-party candidate (Stein) over the coming weeks. And even Stein’s own family and friends tell the Times they don’t support her and urged her not to run. Stein, whose “bid can feel precision-engineered to damage Ms. Harris with key subgroups,” pooh-poohs what she calls the “spoiler mythology” and places the blame squarely on Democrats.On college campuses, there are some signs that the left-wing protest movement has quieted from its peak when Biden was in the race — but even a small number of defections from Dems could prove pivotal in a close election.In East Lansing, Zack Stanton reports for POLITICO Magazine that Michigan State student activists furious about the Israel-Hamas war are torn between demanding more from Harris and stopping Trump. In Chapel Hill, WSJ’s Jimmy Vielkind and Cam Pollack find that many pro-Palestinian protesters at the University of North Carolina are nonetheless weighing other issues in their vote, especially abortion rights. But liberal groups are warning that some undecided voters of color still don’t feel like they know enough to be convinced for Harris — and may leave the top of the ticket blank, AP’s Ayanna Alexander reports.
