Three months after the Singapore summit, evidence grows that North Korea is still making nuclear weapons.

A significant advance for LGBT rights in the world’s most populous democracy.

A new book by legendary Washington reporter Bob Woodward appears to contain explosive revelations about the President and the operation of the White House.

Donald Trump’s vanity-seeking military parade has been postponed amid reports that the estimated cost has increased dramatically.

Two months after the Singapore Summit, there’s no sign that anything substantive has been accomplished on the Korean Peninsula.

The Trump Administration continues to insist that North Korea is violating promises that it clearly never made.

The Trump Administration is falsely claiming that the North Koreans made commitments at the Singapore Summit that they clearly didn’t agree to.

Yet another sign that the Singapore Summit didn’t really accomplish much of anything.

A powerful political network is distancing itself from the Trump-dominated Republican Party.

The economy grew at an exceptionally strong pace according to the first estimate of GDP growth, but several caveats remain.

The President is apparently getting ready to take yet another ill-advised step in his ill-advised, economically illiterate trade war.

To the surprise of nobody other than, apparently, the President of the United States, the North Koreans are dragging their feet after getting what they wanted out of the Photo Op Summit in Singapore.

Donald Trump’s military parade will cost roughly the same as military exercises in South Korea he has previously called “tremendously expensive.”

Even if all he gets out of the Helsinki Summit is a handshake and a photograph, Vladimir Putin has already won.

More evidence that North Korea isn’t living up to the promises it made in Singapore.

A milestone for the nation’s oldest service academy, founded in 1802.

Trump’s deal-making prowess in NK and Iran isn’t too impressive.

The supposed promises made at the Singapore Summit don’t appear to be working out in the real world.

The Presidents of the United States and Russia will meet next month and there’s reason to worry about what Trump might give away.

A thinly-sourced report says Yes.

President Trump is at the center of controversy again after video emerged of him returning the salute of a North Korean General.

President Trump is touting his Photo Op Summit as the end of the North Korean nuclear threat. Reality is quite different.

The Singapore Summit meeting between President Trump and Kim Jong Un was about as substance-less as most analysts anticipated it would be.

With the start of the Singapore Summit just hours away, it’s not at all clear what the respective parties can possibly agree to other than what amounts to a photo opportunity.

Thanks to Donald Trump, the happiest man in the world right now is Vladimir Putin.

Donald Trump’s approach to international trade has nothing to with economics and everything to do with politics and the culture war he loves to provoke.

Among the stumbling blocks to a DPRK nuclear summit: who’s going to pay for Kim Jong Un’s hotel room?

Just over a week after he called it off, President Trump announced this afternoon that the June 12th Summit in Singapore was back on.

South Korea’s President is saying that Kim Jong Un has renewed his supposed commitment to ‘denuclearization,’ but it isn’t at all clear what that means.

Seemingly out of the blue, the June 12th summit between President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has been canceled by the United States.

Not surprisingly, the North Koreans are pushing back against American efforts to force them into a corner on denuclearization.

It was never going to be as easy as the administration thought.

The date and location of the meeting between President Trump and Kim Jong Un has been set, but there’s as much chance of failure as their is hope for success.

Some good news from North Korea.

The new Secretary of State is an improvement over the worst Secretary of State in history.

More signs of tension between President Trump and his Chief of Staff.

The United States is apparently looking to Libya as a guide for upcoming talks with North Korea. The DPRK most likely sees the fate of that nation and its leader as a warning.

There are reasons to be skeptical about the dawning of a new age on the peninsula.

The meeting between Kim Jong-Un and Moon Jae-In was historic, but many questions and caveats remain.

The Kim regime has announced the end, for now, of its nuclear and ballistic missile testing programs. To understand why they made this concession, one needs to read between the lines.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Top positions in the State Department are vacant, and there’s only one person to blame for that.

President Trump is continuing his dangerous and misguided trade war rhetoric,

March’s Jobs Report fell far short of expectations.

Begun the trade wars have.

After initially praising the completion of a trade deal with South Korea, President Trump is now suggesting he may withhold final approval contingent on progress on talks with North Korea. This makes no sense whatsoever.

Another significant development on the Korean Peninsula.

After several days of speculation, it was confirmed that the leaders of North Korea and China had met in Beijing. This was meant as much for external consumption as it was the relationship between the two nations.

In selecting John Bolton as his National Security Adviser, Donald Trump has signaled to the world that he’s likely to take action that will only serve to make the world a more dangerous place.

From Europe to the Middle East, to Asia, America’s allies are concerned about what the selection of John Bolton as National Security Adviser means going forward. They should be, and so should every American.
