"The question would be how much does the US lower the bar on its previous requirements in order to get success? I think (US envoy to North Korea) Mr. (Stephen) Biegun's speech as well as statements by the president and secretary of state indicate a greater receptivity to signing a peace declaration than there was before. There's also no longer a requirement for a data declaration of North Korea's nuclear missile programmes early on. Also, there seems to be an indication that perhaps a reduction of sanctions before the total denuclearization, which was the administration's position before."

So, I'm sure you know he's anxiously watching this hoping for success but also probably still a little bit nervous about what Trump might do unilaterally because he has seen it before, such as in Singapore when he talked about ending the military exercises without prior consultation. I think the Japanese, of everyone, are the most worried because they don't necessarily have a voice in this process and so their interests are really in the hands of President Trump to carry with him but they don't have a direct dialogue with North Korea right now. And so I do think they're more nervous than anyone of what the US might be willing to commit to unilaterally that might have spillover effects or security implications for Japan. And so I think everyone's watching very closely."

27. Trump and Kim walking together

STORYLINE:

A second summit between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is set for Vietnam's capital from 27-28 February.

Trump and Kim met last June in Singapore, an outreach the American president has said opened a path to peace.

But that face-to-face hasn't resulted in any solid plan for ridding North Korea of nuclear weapons.

The Singapore summit made history by simply being the first-ever meeting between sitting leaders of the longtime enemies.

It was filled with pageantry and memorable moments, such as the first handshake and walks in a garden.

For the second summit, observers will be looking for more concrete actions and a lot more details.

"The stakes are very high, but the expectations are very low," said Bruce Klingner, a former CIA deputy division chief for Korea:

Trump is taking credit for his harsh language, in the lead up to the Singapore summit, to bringing the two leaders together.

The future of a key North Korean nuclear facility is on the table as Kim and Trump meet in Hanoi.

The Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center, the heart of the North's nuclear development and research, is Kim's biggest carrot as he tries to win security guarantees and free his country from the US-backed trade sanctions that are hobbling its economy.

The North Korean leader has suggested he's ready to talk about closing the facility, capping the amount of fissile material it produces or possibly allowing international inspections.

Using open-source satellite imagery of the Yongbyon complex, a team of experts led by Siegfried Hecker, a former director of the Los Alamos National Laboratory who has visited the Yongbyon facility several times, estimate the North made enough weapons-grade material to boost its stockpile from an estimated 30 nuclear weapons at the end of 2017 to 35-37 by the end of last year.

Some lawmakers and North Korea experts worry that Trump will grant too many concessions to Kim without making him honor his pledge to give up his nuclear weapons.

Klingner points out that the heads of the intelligence agencies testified that "in fact North Korea is continuing to nuclearize."

A senior Trump administration official said the US is still not sure if North Korea has decided to give up its nuclear weapons.

The official, who is familiar with the talks and spoke only on condition of anonymity, also said that reducing the 28,500 U.S. troops stationed in South Korea has not been a topic of the talks.

There has been discussion, however, about using the summit as a venue to declare the end of the Korean War - something that North Korea has long sought.

The fighting ended with an armistice in July 1953, but that armistice has yet to be replaced with a peace treaty, leaving the peninsula in a technical state of war.

If he chose to do so, Trump could unilaterally announce the end of the Korean War.

But it wouldn't necessarily mean all that much, as the American president can't by himself conclude an actual peace treaty.

China, and possibly a representative of the UN Command, would have to be involved. South Korea would naturally want to be at the table and the US Senate would have to ratify whatever agreement they came up with.

US Vice President-elect Mike Pence claimed a governing mandate for the Trump administration, calling on conservative activists to help the incoming White House pass an ambitiously conservative agenda.

Pence made little reference to still-simmering national divides in his address at a Tuesday night event honouring top donors to the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank that's working closely with Donald Trump's transition effort.

Pence spoke in the "presidential ballroom" of Trump's Washington, DC, hotel.

US President Donald Trump said he's decided to withdraw support for a treaty regulating the multibillion-dollar global arms trade.

It's the latest example of the Trump administration's dislike of international pacts.

Trump said on Friday that he has decided to revoke the United States' status as a signatory of the Arms Trade Treaty regulating international trade in conventional weapons, including small arms, battle tanks, combat aircraft and warships.

He said America was "rejecting this treaty" and "taking our signature back".

Trump made the announcement during a speech in Indianapolis to the National Rifle Association, which claims the treaty poses a threat to the Second Amendment.

The US signed the treaty in 2013 but never ratified it.

So, they are listening in this big room someplace and they are saying, 'I wonder what he's going to do.' The good thing with me you never know. So in the last administration President Obama signed the UN Arms Trade Treaty and in its waning days in office he sent the treaty to the Senate to begin the ratification process. This treaty threatened your subjugate ... again and you know exactly what's going on here, your rights. And your constitutional and international rules and restrictions and regulations. Under my administration we will never surrender American sovereignty to anyone. We will never allow foreign bureaucrats to trample on your Second Amendment freedom. And that is why my administration will never ratify the UN Arms Trade Treaty. I hope you are happy."

A top adviser to Donald Trump says his daughter, Ivanka, and her husband, Jared Kushner, would be the most likely family members to have official staff roles.

Kellyanne Conway said Thursday that any of the president-elect's adult children who work in the administration would separate from their father's business empire.

Trump's transition aides say lawyers are working to untangle Trump and his family from their business empire after criticism that failing to do anything short of creating a blind trust would expose them to conflict of interest investigations and lawsuits.

President-elect Trump met with Chairman of the House Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence, Peter King on Thursday as well as a group from the US Conference of Mayors.

The Trump administration continued to show an interest in California's homeless crisis Wednesday but offered little in the way of help or specific solutions as the secretary of Housing and Urban Development toured a Skid Row shelter in Los Angeles and called for cooperation among federal, state and local governments.

HUD Secretary Ben Carson was noncommittal about what he could offer, saying the administration was considering all options, including re-using vacant federal buildings for shelters.

Carson targeted some of the main hurdles to providing more housing: myriad regulations and opposition from people who don't want poor people living nearby. He said his agency might offer grant preferences to cities that try to remove those barriers to affordable housing.

The visit came as President Donald Trump spent a second day in the state raising money for his re-election campaign.

He vowed to do something about the homeless problem but only mentioned creating a task force.

With close to 60,000 homeless people in Los Angeles County, tents are clustered on sidewalks throughout the city, in vacant lots and under highway bridges. The state's other metropolitan areas have similar situations.

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said he would welcome Trump's help to end homelessness if he contributed federal dollars or property that could be converted into shelters, though he said he would "believe it when I see it."

Before additional money is spent, Carson said there needs to be more effective use of available housing vouchers. Many of those, including 35% designated for veterans, are not being used, he said.

Asked if Californians should take the Trump administration's sudden interest in the issue as sincere given the friction between the state and the president, Carson said things work best when all levels of government can work together with advocates, nonprofits and faith-based organizations and advocacy groups.

"It seems that the current administration looks at the world and sees only threats: Immigrants, refugees, Muslims, Mexicans, even trade. It is America first and the rest of the world last.

"We can't allow Twitter wars to become shooting wars. So instead of vacillating between reckless saber rattling and dubbing Kim Jung Un a 'smart cookie' we should steadily apply increased pressure on North Korea, while protecting our allies and our homeland.

Refering to allegations of Russian meddling in the US Presidential election, she says that while Republicans and Democrats often disagree, "we sure as hell need to agree that a hostile foreign power has no business messing with our elections."

With close to 60,000 homeless people in Los Angeles County, tents are clustered on sidewalks throughout the city, in vacant lots and under highway bridges. The state's other metropolitan areas have similar situations.

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said he would welcome Trump's help to end homelessness if he contributed federal dollars or property that could be converted into shelters, though he said he would "believe it when I see it."

Before additional money is spent, Carson said there needs to be more effective use of available housing vouchers. Many of those, including 35% designated for veterans, are not being used, he said.

Asked if Californians should take the Trump administration's sudden interest in the issue as sincere given the friction between the state and the president, Carson said things work best when all levels of government can work together with advocates, nonprofits and faith-based organizations and advocacy groups.

After a meeting with President-elect Donald Trump, Mitt Romney said he is looking forward to Trump's administration.

Romney met with Trump at a golf course in New Jersey on Saturday.

The 2012 Republican presidential nominee was an outspoken critic of Trump during the election, calling him a "con man" and a "fraud." But the two have started to make amends since the election. Romney called Trump to congratulate him after his win.

Vice President-elect Mike Pence is claiming a governing mandate for the Trump administration, calling on conservative activists to help the incoming White House pass an ambitiously conservative agenda.

Pence made little reference to still-simmering national divides in his address at a Tuesday night event honoring top donors to the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank that's working closely with Donald Trump's transition effort.

Pence spoke in the "presidential ballroom" of Trump's Washington, D.C., hotel.

Trump pointed out the nation's GDP and low unemployment rates among various groups, including women and African-Americans.

He also got cheers after mentioning that he withdrew the US from the Paris climate accord.

Trump called himself an environmentalist and said he wants "crystal clear" air and water, but that he also wants jobs to come to the US.

LEAD IN:

2018 has been a year where Donald Trump and his administration has had a big impact across the Middle East.

From the cuts to Palestinian funding, to the opening of the new Israeli embassy and scrapping the Iran nuclear deal, Trump's influence has been felt.

STORY-LINE:

In January 2018, the White House announced it would withhold 65 million US dollars of a planned 125 million dollar instalment to UNRWA, the UN agency responsible for Palestinian refugees.

The US was the biggest donor to the agency but said future contributions would be contingent on major changes being made to UNRWA.

Hamas leader Ismael Haniyeh said the decision "goes beyond politics, impacting our right to return to our historic homeland".

The funding cut triggered a crisis at the agency which provides aid - including food, education and medical services - to Palestinian refugees across the Middle East.

In March 2018, Antonio Guterres, Secretary-General of United Nations, announced it was facing a shortfall of 446 million US dollars.

"Critical services could be reduced or eliminated entirely," he warned.

Donald Trump had long been a vocal opponent of the Iran nuclear deal. The 2015 agreement lifted international sanctions in exchange for Iran limiting its nuclear activities.

But in May, Trump made his widely predicted announcement.

"In just a short period of time, the world's leading state sponsor of terror will be on the cusp of acquiring the world's most dangerous weapons," he said.

"Therefore, I am announcing today that the United States will withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal."

The same month, the new US embassy based in Jerusalem was opened.

The ceremony was attended by Israel's President Netanyahu and Trump's daughter Ivanka.

In August 2018, the Trump administration said it was cutting more than 200 million US dollars in bilateral aid to the Palestinians, following a review of its financial assistance to the Palestinian Authority.

One main issue the US has had with support for the Palestinian Authority had been stipends it paid to the families of Palestinians killed, injured or jailed for attacks on Israel.

Israel and the Trump administration have repeatedly demanded that those payments from a so-called "martyrs' fund" be halted because they encourage attacks. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas had refused to do so.

In September, more funding cuts, this time for UNRWA.

After withholding an instalment earlier in the year, the US announced it was ending funding of the agency completely.

It has supplied nearly 30 percent of the total budget of the UN Relief and Works Agency. The decision cut nearly 300 million US dollars of planned support.

After raising funds from other donors, UNRWA has managed to reduce its deficit to 21 million dollars.

The murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul has cast a long shadow over the Middle East this year.

But despite growing claims that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is directly implicated in the killing, Trump has refused to take action against Saudi Arabia.

He has said the CIA never made a determination about who killed Khashoggi, and has insisted good relations between the nations are important.

"It's America first to me," he told journalists when questioned about his lack of action against the Saudis.

"Saudi Arabia, if we broke with them, I think your oil prices would go through the roof, I've kept them down. They've helped me keep them down."

In 2019, the Trump team is preparing to rollout a much-vaunted but as yet unclear peace plan for Israel and the Palestinians.

The Palestinian leadership has been openly hostile to any proposal from the administration, citing what it says is a pro-Israel bias.

President Donald Trump says the U.S. has decided to withdraw its support for a treaty regulating the multibillion-dollar global arms trade.

It's the latest example of the Trump administration's dislike of international pacts.

Trump said Friday that he has decided to revoke the United States' status as a signatory of the Arms Trade Treaty regulating international trade in conventional weapons, including small arms, battle tanks, combat aircraft and warships.

He says America is "rejecting this treaty" and "taking our signature back."

He made the announcement during a speech in Indianapolis, Indiana, to the National Rifle Association, which claims the treaty poses a threat to the Second Amendment.

The U.S. signed the treaty in 2013, but never ratified it.

A majority of Americans now approve of President Donald Trump's handling of U.S. relations with North Korea, a change that comes after his historic summit with that country's leader, Kim Jong Un.

At 55 percent, it's the highest rating for the Republican president on any individual issue since his inauguration in surveys conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

Americans' approval of Trump's North Korea diplomacy is up from 42 percent in March and 34 percent last October.

The positive feelings about the Trump-Kim summit don't appear to have made a dent in Trump's overall approval rating, which stands at just 41 percent and has not significantly changed since March.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington - 20 June 2018

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Emily Swanson, Associated Press:

"The new AP-NORC poll shows that a majority of Americans now approve of the job that Donald Trump is doing on handling North Korea. The poll comes shortly after the summit where he met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. And it's was a big jump since eight months ago when tensions were running high and there was even discussion of possible military confrontation between the two countries. That's the highest rating that Trump has received on any individual issue on an AP-NORC poll since his inauguration. And it includes approval by a majority of independents and a significant minority of Democrats. Unfortunately for Trump his high approval on North Korea doesn't seem to have done much to budge his overall approval rating that's held steady at around 40 percent since March. Even though they mostly approve of Trump's handling of North Korea only about a quarter of Americans say they have much confidence in Trump's ability to handle complex foreign policy situations. Even on North Korea there is some sign of ambivalence. Americans don't necessarily think they would get the results out of the summit that the Trump administration has said that it's hoping for. Majorities of Americans don't think North Korea is actually serious about addressing international concerns about its weapons program or that it will ultimately give up those weapons. In terms of what they'd be willing to give up in exchange for North Korea ending its nuclear weapons program they really have mixed views on withdrawing troops from South Korea or on ending sanctions and only about a quarter would favor giving aid to North Korea. On the other hand a large majority say they would be willing to negotiate a treaty ending the Korean war where no peace treaty has actually ever been officially signed marking the end of the conflict. The poll also asked about the president's handling of relationships with traditional allies like Canada and European nations after the recent G-7 summit and that summit stoked tensions between the US and Canada in particular over Trump's tariff and trade policy. And the poll found that most Americans disapprove of Trump's handling of relationships with traditional allies. Along with negotiations on trade."
