Weekly News Summary

Trump has had bad luck recently with North Korea. Trump said that one week ago would take Kim Jong Un at his word over the death of Otto Lambier. Trump said that Kim Jong Un said he felt badly about it, he knew the case very well, but knew about it later, and he will take him at his word:

He also recently stated that he believed Kim Jong Un at his word for his nuclear program testing:

He had to walk back from that recently, stating that he would be pretty disappointed if Kim Jong Un was starting to test rockets again. John Bolton would not confirm nor deny whether or not they were building up their nuclear testing again. But, it is a smack in the face for Trump, who was hoping for a win after the summit.

Trump signs bibles while visiting Alabama and looking at Tornado damage:

Trump, despite having a record long Government shutdown is going to request that Congress issue $8.6 million for the wall. Speaker Pelosi says “President Trump hurt millions of Americans and caused widespread chaos when he recklessly shut down the government to try to get his expensive and ineffective wall, which he promised would be paid for by Mexico,”

Lastly: what you should know about the recent Boeing 737 Max crash by the Ethiopian Airlines, in article by Sarah Mervosh of the New York Times. I definitely recommend reading this article.

Update: John Bolton’s name, updated the style of the website, and, just to clarify, the link from the Times was previously working, it might not work now.
