Lee Jae Myung, the president of South Korea, met with President Donald Trump on Monday at the White House, where the two talked about, among other things, their relationship with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.In an Oval Office conversation, Trump gushed about his desire to get the two leaders together. "Yeah, we want to have a meeting. I'd like to have a meeting," Trump told Lee. "I get along great with him when we were there. We even had a press conference. His first press conference. Kim Jong Un had a press conference. This was a little different press conference. I said, have you done a press conference before? And you know what? He did a great! It was a great press conference, actually. Actually historic. I doubt he's done one since. But I said, 'Would you like to meet the fake news? What do you want to do?' And they came in — they came in, and you've never seen anything like it. And then he said, 'Enough!' And that was the end of the press conference." Trump's Cabinet officials on the sofa around him laughed boisterously. Lee then made a comment prompting some on social media to question if it was a joke. The Irish Star reported it as a joke, though it wasn't clear. “I look forward to your meeting with Kim Jung Un,” and “construction of Trump Tower in North Korea, and playing golf at a place," Lee said through a translator.Kim has promoted the idea of a North Korea resort town on the beach. His government published photos of families playing in the ocean in July, but a closer look at the photo reveals that most of the women are wearing the same swimsuit top. "The Korean people have great expectations for you, Mr. President. Thank you once again for your time," Lee added. See the clip below or at the link here. - YouTube youtu.be

According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, the Pentagon has been using its leverage to keep Ukraine from responding in kind to massive attacks from Russia as it defends its territory.That led an incredulous Joe Scarborough to lash out at the Trump administration and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who has been accused of meddling with Ukraine weapons shipments, of handcuffing the besieged country while once again giving Russian President Vladimir Putin an upper hand in the war.Holding up a copy of the Journal with a headline reading “Pentagon Has Quietly Blocked Ukraine’s Long-Range Missile Strikes on Russia,” the “Morning Joe" host launched into a tirade.Noting Russia's demands as part of the ceasefire agreement that has gone nowhere, the MSNBC host pointed out, “The security guarantee, they say Russia has to be a part of that. China has to be a part of that –– all nonstarters, all absolutely ridiculous, that will never happen.”“Also after talking to Donald Trump, they [Russia] blow up American factories,” he added. “So again, the question is what happens today after [Russian diplomat Sergey] Lavrov goes on TV and says, we're basically going to do nothing, we're just going to sit back.”“And what happens today inside the Pentagon when we find out that the United States military leadership is telling Ukraine, who has been invaded by the Russians, 'Hey, they're allowed to kill your women and children. They're allowed to lob missiles into apartment buildings, but you can't even strike military targets deep inside Russia.'""That is unbelievable,” he exclaimed. “I cannot even imagine, I cannot even imagine what they would be saying about a Democrat if a Democrat were doing that at this stage of the war during these negotiations.”You can watch below or at the link. - YouTube youtu.be
