The Washington Post apparently got a little misty-eyed Thursday when it published an article about Donald Trump’s recent remarks on North Korea — referencing Hillary Clinton attack ads against Trump no less than three times.

President Donald Trump defied political and media critics of his “fire and fury” warning to North Korea, suggesting that perhaps it wasn’t a tough enough statement.

President Donald Trump paid close attention to the threat posed by North Korea throughout his career, clearly viewing modern presidents as too weak or stupid to stop it.

Former President Barack Obama’s National Security adviser, Susan Rice, wants President Donald Trump to accept North Korea as a nuclear power.

Speaking to reporters Wednesday, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said President Donald Trump’s remark that North Korea risked “fire and fury like the world has never seen” was an attempt to speak “in language that Kim Jong-un can understand.”

After two and a half years in prison, Canadian pastor Hyeon Soo Lim has been set free by North Korea. The brutal regime cited “humanitarian” concerns over Lim’s health as the reason for ending his life sentence of hard labor early. His release was described as “sick bail.”

Former U.S. spokesman at the United Nations Richard Grenell called on U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley to press for tougher sanctions on North Korea Tuesday, arguing that she should call for an emergency session to address the growing crisis.

Defense Secretary James Mattis issued a stern warning to North Korea Wednesday after news reports indicated the regime may now have the capability to miniaturize a warhead atop of a missile that could target the U.S. or its allies.

President Trump’s tough language toward North Korea is causing many in the mainstream media to clutch their pearls and accuse Trump of being rash and reckless — but over 20 years ago, President Bill Clinton used similarly tough language against the same regime.

On Wednesday’s broadcast of “CNN Newsroom,” Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) argued that President Trump’s “fire and fury” comments about North Korea “enhances” North Korea’s leader and “diminishes” the president. Van Hollen said, “[W]hat the President did was dangerous. Because

Japan’s annual defense report is focused on the threat from North Korea, but it also has a good deal to say about China. Those two Japanese concerns converge in a live-fire exercise held by the Chinese Navy off the Korean coast this week, in which dozens of different types of missiles were tested, air intercepts were simulated, ground assaults were practiced, and submarines prowled the waters.

President Donald Trump warned North Korea to stop threatening the United States with its ongoing achievements in nuclear weaponry.

U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley and President Donald Trump got their lines crossed Tuesday when Haley slammed a FoxNews.com report on North Korean maneuvers as “incredibly dangerous” — but only after Trump had retweeted the story.

August 7 marks President Donald Trump’s second 100 days in office. They were just as intense as the first 100, if not more so. Here are 15 highlights (and lowlights).

President Trump’s tough stance on China was vindicated Saturday when the U.N. Security Council voted to slap significant sanctions on North Korea, with China voting in favor of the tough sanctions – a major win for Trump’s hard edged stance toward the geopolitical foe.

Both U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov attended the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) meeting in the Philippines this weekend. On Sunday, the two had what Tillerson described as a “lengthy” meeting on the sidelines of the conference. Both emerged from the meeting with cautious flickers of optimism that U.S.-Russia relations might be improved.

China was willing to vote for stronger U.N. sanctions against its unruly client regime in North Korea, but Chinese media are sending decidedly mixed signals in the wake of the vote. The histrionics in Beijing’s state-managed newspapers seem intended to send a message that China is not prepared to go any further with North Korea.

North Korea lashed out with the expected venom and threats of violence after crushing new sanctions were imposed by a unanimous vote of the U.N. Security Council on Saturday. Although the unanimous vote means North Korea’s patrons in China and Russia agreed with the Trump administration’s push for heavier sanctions, Pyongyang’s ire was focused largely on Washington.

Amid new international sanctions, North Korea’s “No. 2” official embarked on a 10-day visit to Iran, a move that could result in the two sides expanding their ties.

NEW YORK CITY — The United Nations Security Council Saturday voted unanimously to slap major sanctions on North Korea in a major win for Trump’s hardline approach to China, and for U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley — who pulled a rabbit out of a hat in pressuring China and Russia to avoid using their veto power.

The turbulent relationship between the Trump administration and China might be about to take another surprising turn, as Reuters quotes diplomats who say a deal for stronger sanctions against North Korea may have been quietly struck.

A draft U.N. Security Council resolution, seen by Breitbart News, would hit North Korea with a fresh wave of sanctions and aim at the regime’s key exports of coal, iron, lead, and even seafood in response to its recent missile launches – although the resolution’s fate in the Security Council is far from certain.

Following a series of condemnations from American officials over its latest missile test – and a bizarre affirmation that “we are not your enemy” from Secretary of State Rex Tillerson – the North Korean government has responded in its state media, demanding America keep its “stinky face” out of Asia.
