Trump’s critics amazed, forced to praise him after tough talk brings North Korea to heel

When North Korea expressed a willingness to talk denuclearization with the U.S., even some of President Trump’s harshest critics in the mainstream media took notice.

CNN’s “New Day” host Chris Cuomo, an outspoken Trump detractor known for combative interviews with White House surrogates, complimented the president on Tuesday.

“Congratulations to the Trump administration, they were able to move the ball here. Maybe North Korea’s not telling the truth, maybe they won’t really do this. But even the suggestion, even the potential offer, is progress,” Cuomo said.

The Washington Post noted that Trump’s “madman” approach to North Korea “is getting real credit” and called the news of North Korea willing to discuss scaling back its nuclear program “another possible win” for the administration.

Outspoken Trump critic Ian Bremmer, who is the president of Eurasia Group and a global research professor at New York University, even told the Post that Trump “deserves credit” for North Korea’s about-face.

In a telephone call with Macron, who is on a four-day visit to India, Trump underscored that his decision is necessary and appropriate to protect national security, the White House said. “Both Presidents discussed alternative ways to address United States concerns,” an official readout of the call said. Citing national security concerns and the need to protect American industries from “unfair” business practices, Trump yesterday signed two proclamations that levied a 25 per cent tariff on steel and a 10 per cent tariff on aluminium imported from all countries except neighbouring Canada and Mexico.

The contentious tariffs will go into effect in 15 days. Major nations reacted sharply to Trump’s decision to impose tariffs on steel and aluminium imports, warning of damage to close relations amid industry calls for retaliation. Trump also discussed his decision to meet North Korea’s top leader Kim Jong-Un.

“The two leaders also conferred about President Trump’s intention to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to ensure the complete and permanent denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula,” the White House said. Trump and Macron sharply condemned Syria’s Assad regime, and its Russian and Iranian sponsors, for the “atrocities” it has committed, including the bombing in East Ghouta, the White House said.</s>French President Emmanuel Macron has called for “tough talks” with Pyongyang as he spoke to Donald Trump and hailed plans for a historic meeting between the US and North Korean leaders. “The international community must maintain its unity for tough talks with North Korea to pave the way for a denuclearization of the Korean peninsula,” Macron’s office quoted him as telling the US president in a telephone call.

The move is a high-stakes encounter for both Trump and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, who have traded insults in the past and threatened to wipe out each other out. News of the summit, which South Korean President Moon Jae-in said was “like a miracle”, is the latest step in a quickening detente.

North and South Korea exchanged envoys as Pyongyang sent a delegation to the South’s Winter Olympics, which Seoul had dubbed the “Peace Games”. The thaw came after a period of extreme tension between Washington and Pyongyang.</s>Trump’s critics amazed, forced to praise him after tough talk brings North Korea to heel
