"Poets in other climes may rhapsodize about the vagaries of April weather, its laughter 1and tears, but in New England the month has inspired few local bards to lyric praise of the region's early spring weather.' Best wishes to Rhode Island Public Radio on its 20th birthday! The station, along with other relatively new media such as GoLocal24, have filled some of the gaps left by the decline of "legacy media'' in general and newspapers in particular.
Washington: As North Korea's reclusive ruler, Kim Jong-un, prepares for a landmark meeting with President Donald Trump, he has seized the diplomatic high ground, making conciliatory gestures on nuclear testing and US troops that have buoyed hopes in South Korea and won praise from Trump himself, who called it "big progress". But Kim's audacious moves are unsettling officials in the United States, Japan and China.

Americans appear open to Trump's decision to negotiate directly with the North Korean leader, and are less concerned than in recent months by the threat posed by the pariah nation's nuclear weapons.
Former President Barack Obama said Sunday that negotiations with North Korea on its nuclear weapons program are difficult, partly because the country's isolation minimizes possible leverage, such as trade and travel sanctions against Pyongyang. "North Korea is an example of a country that is so far out of the international norms and so disconnected with the rest of the world," Obama told a packed hall in Tokyo.

While U.S. President Donald Trump has previously denounced "regime change" and "nation-building," John Bolton, his choice for national-security adviser, has been a vocal proponent of American intervention abroad. In selecting former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton as his new national-security adviser, U.S. President Donald Trump has tapped a man whose foreign policy record stands at odds with central elements of Trump's stated vision of America's role in the world.

The announcement last week that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has agreed to meet face-to-face with President Donald Trump to discuss the rogue regime's development of nuclear weapons and long-range missiles was hailed by many as wonderful news. Kim, like his late father, is a master of brinkmanship - putting much of the world on edge at the prospect of a nuclear war, then appearing to back away.
The U.S. will make no concessions to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in discussions leading to potential talks between the reclusive leader and President Donald Trump, and during any subsequent negotiations, CIA Director Mike Pompeo said. Kim, on the other hand, must agree to several conditions including ceasing nuclear and missile testing, continuing to allow U.S.-South Korean military exercises, and leaving denuclearization "on the table," Pompeo said on "Fox News Sunday."
Just by showing up to see Kim Jong-Un, Donald Trump would give his murderous dynasty what it has always craved -- the prestige and propaganda coup of a meeting of equals with the President of the United States. That is why the talks represent such a massive gamble for Trump and will subject him to intense pressure to deliver a significant breakthrough in return toward the US goal of dismantling North Korea's nuclear arsenal.
U.S. President Donald Trump will not meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un unless Pyongyang takes "concrete actions," the White House said yesterday as it faced criticism for agreeing to talks that would boost Kim's standing.

A day after North Korea signaled it is willing to discuss giving up its nuclear weapons, the South China Morning Post reports that South Korea officials will deliver a "very unconventional" message from Kim Jong Un to the Trump administration. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un may propose sending his sister, Kim Yo-jong, to the US as part of efforts to launch direct talks between Washington and Pyongyang, according to a South Korean diplomatic source.
