Becoming the first North Korean leader to meet with a sitting U.S. president, Kim has proved to his people that he is a force the Americans have to reckon with SINGAPORE - President Donald Trump has imagined himself at the centre of high-stakes nuclear negotiations since at least the mid-1980s, when he tried, unsuccessfully, to persuade the Reagan administration that it needed a New York real estate deal-maker to lead arms-control talks with the Soviet Union. When, in 1989, he ran into the man who filled that job for President George H.W. Bush, he had a bit of negotiating advice: Arrive late, poke your finger into your adversary's chest and swear at him with a vulgar insult, he told Richard R. Burt.
A federal appeals court says an insurance company must pick up Bill Cosby's tab to fight defamation lawsuits brought by women who accused him of sexual misconduct. But the ruling by the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston doesn't mean the insurance company, AIG, must pay any damages.
A generation after Richard Nixon called Justin Trudeau's father an "asshole," Donald Trump's administration broke new ground in American political trash talk Sunday when a presidential adviser said there's a "special place in hell" for Canada's current prime minister.

President Donald Trump took more swipes at Canada and its prime minister over trade issues as he settled in for a summit with North Korea in Singapore, contending that "Fair Trade is now to be called Fool Trade if it is not Reciprocal."

Trump's actions deepened the divide between the United States and its allies, and European leaders Sunday expressed shock and resignation at this latest sign that the president is eager to defy diplomatic norms and blow up trade relationships that have been strong for decades.
That's what the North Dakota Democrat in one of the most Donald Trump-friendly states says, though it would seem she also doesn't have that luxury of avoiding the resistance.

AT&T and drug giant Novartis got nothing but bad publicity when they asked Donald Trump's personal attorney Michael Cohen for help with business, but a Florida immigration firm that tapped him appears to have gotten nearly everything it wanted.

Malaysia's newly-elected prime minister called Monday for the Trans-Pacific Partnership to be "renegotiated," and urged protection for small countries in international trade.

For Iran, the so-called "Axis of Evil" has boiled down to a party of one, as U.S. President Donald Trump prepares for direct talks with North Korea. With former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein overthrown and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un now preparing for a planned summit in Singapore with Trump, Iran remains the last renegade among former President George W.

"Ocean's 8," the female-fronted overhaul of the starry heist franchise, opened with an estimated $41.5 million at the box office, taking the weekend's top spot from the fast-falling "Solo: A Star Wars Story." At a lower price point and in less fanboy-guarded franchise, "Ocean's 8" - despite ho-hum reviews - found nothing like the stormy reception than the female-led "Ghostbusters" reboot did on the same weekend two years ago.
