He has been chatty lately and on a roll

Coming off the China meetings, Pres. Trump is increasingly chatty.

He adds now:

  • May meet China's Xi after visiting North Korea's Kim (that's killing two birds with one stone).
  • He also adds he wants a new nuclear treaty with Russia

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is expected to announce the U.S. intention to withdraw from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty soon. IN December, the U.S. gave Russia 60 days to return to compliance with the INF agreement. Pompeo announced at a NATO Foreign Ministers meeting that Russia was in "material breach" of the treaty. Pompeo said:

"We either bury our head in the sand, or we take common sense action in response to Russia's flagrant disregard of the express terms of the INF treaty,"
