“To all Americans and the rest of the world I’m honored to call President Trump a friend”, he said.

Former U.S. National Basketball Association star Dennis Rodman arrived in Singapore late on Monday for a summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, saying he was “excited to be part of it”. “If diplomacy does not move in the...

Dennis began weeping when he confessed that he received death threats for meeting with Kim in North Korea.

Mr Trump’s announcement, made in a press conference at the end of the historic summit with Mr Kim, could overturn longstanding U.S. policy and was described by experts as an “astonishing” concession. It followed a public greeting, one-on-one meeting, and...

The Trump administration imposed aluminum and steel tariffs on the other G-7 members – the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, France, Canada and Japan – ratcheting up tensions between the US and its allies in the run-up to the summit.

The pair met in front of a back drop of American and North Korean flags – a sign of how quickly relations between the two countries have thawed.

The others mocked the U.S. president, who withdrew United States endorsement to a G7 economic agreement on Sunday.

He met with Pompeo in NY last month before heading to the White House to hand-deliver a letter from Kim Jong Un to Trump.

Larry Kudlow said that United States had planned to sign joint G7 communique until Trudeau made certain statements countering US’ economic interests.

President Donald Trump’s chief economic adviser, Larry Kudlow, on Sunday charged Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau with the “betrayal” of Trump and other leaders of the Group of Seven industrial nations following their summit in Quebec.

So the summit was almost derailed by talk from Trump’s hawkish National Security Advisor John Bolton of a “Libya model” of disarmament.
