Trump declares North Korea a sponsor of terrorism – but experts warn move may trigger WW3 - Duration: 7:19.Trump declares North Korea a sponsor of terrorism – but experts warn move may trigger WW3
The made the announcement on Monday as he blasted for repeatedly supporting "acts of international , including assassinations on foreign soil" – believed be a reference to the murder of Kim Jong-un's half-brother Kim Jong-nam earlier this year.
The designation will allow the US to impose more sanctions which will be announced on Tuesday. President Trump said: "In addition to threatening the world by nuclear devastation, North Korea has repeatedly supported acts of international terrorism, including assassinations on foreign soil.
"This designation will impose further sanctions and penalties on North Korea and related persons and supports our maximum pressure campaign to isolate the murderous regime." He added that North Korea, who was removed from the list in 2008 under then-President George W Bush, should have been re-listed a long time ago".
Ed Royce, the Republican chairman of the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee, called the decision an important step in our efforts to apply maximum diplomatic and financial pressure on Kim Jong-un." However, Democratic senator Edward Markey dismissed the designation, adding it ratchets up the rhetoric but does nothing to hold North Korea accountable for its weapons programme.
Meanwhile, some experts, including a former chief US negotiator during the 1994 North Korean nuclear crisis, have warned it could be a "miscalculation" by Trump and "just further cements a dangerous game of escalatory brinkmanship" amid fears.
The list includes Iran – designated in 1984, Sudan – added in 1993, and Syria – listed in 1979. The announcement comes after a United Nations report revealed that . .
According to the report, the Iranian ship was smuggling machine guns from North Korea to arm militants in Somalia and Libya.
A UN diplomat earlier asked: "Why are Iranian and North Korean small arms finding their way into Somalia from Libya? Do they date from before the arms embargoes against both North Korea and Iran? How did they get there from Libya? "It certainly emphasises the point that Somalia is a country awash with arms and still very fragile." Earlier this year a .
More than 30,000 rocket-propelled grenades discovered on board the freighter named the Jie Shun which the hermit kingdom had decorated with deceptive Cambodian colours.
The designation follows Trump's return from a 12-day, five-nation trip to Asia in which he made containing North Koreas nuclear ambitions a centrepiece of his discussions.
The rogue state has made no secret of its plans to develop a nuclear-tipped missile capable of hitting the US mainland and has fired two missiles over Japan in the second half of this year.
On September 3, North Korea detonated its sixth and largest nuclear test, which sparked an artificial earthquake with a magnitude of 6.3.
Meanwhile, South Koreas spy agency said on Monday that the despotic nation may conduct additional missile tests this year to improve its long-range missile technology and ramp up the threat against US.
However, experts believe the 'state sponsor of terrorism' designation will be largely symbolic as North Korea is already heavily sanctioned by the US.
State Secretary Rex Tillerson added: "The practical effects may be limited but hopefully were closing off a few loopholes with this." In his announcement, Trump remembered Otto Warmbier, the college student from Ohio who died in June shortly after his return from North Korea, where he was held for more than a year.
His death caused outrage in the United States and further inflamed tensions with Pyongyang.
But a US intelligence official has warned that Trumps last move could backfire and escalate tension further amid fears nations are on the brink of triggering World War 3.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, the official said Kim could respond in a number of ways, including renewing missile or nuclear tests in a very volatile environment".
The official added that the move also could also damage US relations with China, who Trump has repeatedly been pushing to put additional pressure on the despotic regime.
Meanwhile, others have argued that re-listing North Korea will severe any chance of dialogue – the nation had been removed under the Bush administration in 2008 in a bid to encourage denuclearisation talks.
Robert Gallucci, the chief US negotiator during the 1994 North Korean nuclear crisis, said: I dont see how this helps, and it might just be an important miscalculation." Harry Kazianis, director of defence studies at the Washington, DC-based public policy think tank Center for the National Interest, added: Sadly, this action by the Trump administration just further cements a dangerous game of escalatory brinkmanship where neither side is giving the other any off-ramp." North Korea was first put on the US terrorism sponsor list in 1987 after the bombing of a Korean Air flight that killed all 115 people aboard.

Trump Just Overtook Every Major European Leader in Popularity Polls - Duration: 1:42.If you listened to the left, you might think that most Americans are unhappy with President
Donald Trump's performance — especially in comparison to Europe's biggest leaders.
But you would also be wrong.
While the left loves to rub low poll numbers in Trump's face, what they won't tell
you is that he is doing better in the polls than major European leaders.
According to the latest Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll, Trump's
approval rating sits at 41 percent.
This is higher than Europe's liberal leaders, according to a Zogby poll.
Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May and French President Emmanuel Macron both have
an approval rate of just 28 percent.
German Chancellor Angela Merke's approval rating sits at 40 percent.
Those numbers are bad news for left-wing darlings.
Considering the amount of love that these liberal leaders get from the left and the
mainstream media, along with the amount of hate that Trump gets, these numbers are as
incredible as they are telling.
Ever since before the presidential election, the left has consistently worked to paint
Trump in an unfavorable light.
The media loves to gloat about Trump's low approval numbers but you can bet they won't
take the time to point out that popular leftists across the ocean aren't faring any better.
These numbers will no doubt enrage liberals, and it's doubtful this news will be given
much covered from the media.
Imagine how high Trump's numbers would be if the mainstream media didn't try to drag
him through the mud at every possible opportunity.
This country would really be winning.

Trump Fires Shots at UCLA Player's Father - Duration: 5:15.Trump
Fires Shots at UCLA Player�s Father� �I Should Have Left Them in Jail!�
BY CILLIAN ZEAL.
After being dismissed by the father of one of the UCLA basketball players recently freed
on shoplifting charges in China after Donald Trump�s intervention, the president fired
off a scathing tweet saying he �should have left them in jail.�
LaVar Ball, the outspoken father of UCLA player LiAngelo Ball and Los Angeles Lakers rookie
Lonzo Ball, wrote off the president�s intervention as insignificant despite LiAngelo thanking
Trump for what he had done.
�Who?� LaVar told ESPN Friday.
�What was he over there for?
Don�t tell me nothing.
Everybody wants to make it seem like he helped me out.�
LiAngelo Ball, a freshman at UCLA, remained indefinitely suspended along with teammates
Cody Riley and Jalen Hill after the three were arrested on a team trip to China for
shoplifting at high-end stores.
Authorities detained them Nov. 7 in Hangzhou, where the team was staying before traveling
to Shanghai to take on Georgia Tech, after the three fell under suspicion of taking sunglasses
from a Louis Vuitton store next to the team hotel.
The incident happened during President Trump�s trip to Asia.
The president said he had spoken directly to Chinese President Xi Jinping about the
matter, according to Fox News.
The players were released and arrived back in the U.S. on Wednesday.
At a press conference, LiAngelo Ball said he would �like to thank President Trump
and the United States government for the help that they provided as well.�
That same day, UCLA athletic director Dan Guerrero said the three young men had shoplifted
merchandise from three separate stores.
While the three players remain suspended indefinitely by UCLA and Coach Steve Alford said the players
�exercised an inexcusable lapse of judgment,� LaVar Ball was rather blas� about his son�s
arrest and release.
�As long as my boy�s back here, I�m fine,� LaVar Ball said.
�I�m happy with how things were handled.
A lot of people like to say a lot of things that they thought happened over there.
Like I told him, �They try to make a big deal out of nothing sometimes.� I�m from
L.A. I�ve seen a lot worse things happen than a guy taking some glasses.�
Trump, needless to say, wasn�t terribly happy with a guy playing down something he
had apparently expended some level of diplomatic capital on in such a desultory manner.
So, he decided to go for a rhetorical dunk on LaVar.
�Now that the three basketball players are out of China and saved from years in jail,
LaVar Ball, the father of LiAngelo, is unaccepting of what I did for his son and that shoplifting
is no big deal.
I should have left them in jail!� Trump tweeted Sunday.
Donald J. Trump ? @realDonaldTrump Now that the three basketball players are
out of China and saved from years in jail, LaVar Ball, the father of LiAngelo, is unaccepting
of what I did for his son and that shoplifting is no big deal.
I should have left them in jail!
�Shoplifting is a very big deal in China, as it should be (5-10 years in jail), but
not to father LaVar,� he pointed out in a later tweet.
�Should have gotten his son out during my next trip to China instead.
China told them why they were released.
Very ungrateful!�
Donald J. Trump ? @realDonaldTrump Shoplifting is a very big deal in China, as
it should be (5-10 years in jail), but not to father LaVar.
Should have gotten his son out during my next trip to China instead.
China told them why they were released.
Very ungrateful!
Even before the China incident, LaVar Ball has already attracted significant media attention
for what�s perceived as his over-involvement in his sons� sporting ambitions.
Just days before LiAngelo was arrested in China, LaVar had complained about his son
Lonzo�s playing time with the Lakers even though the rookie has performed well under
expectations and his shooting is near an all-time NBA record low.
Please like and share on Facebook and Twitter with your thoughts on President Trump�s
remarks.
Do you think LaVar Ball is being ungrateful?

Trump designates North Korea as state sponsor of terrorism - Duration: 2:01.North Korea is back on Washington's list of sponsors of terror, which opens up the door
to even more sanctions on the regime.
It was nine years ago that Pyongyang was taken off the list by the George W. Bush administration.
Arirang's Yu Joonhee explains why the regime was relisted... and what it means in terms
of sanctions.
During a cabinet meeting on Monday,...
President Donald Trump announced the U.S. will designate North Korea as a state sponsor
of terrorism.
Saying it should have happened "a long time ago"... Trump accused the regime of supporting
international terrorism... in addition to threatening the world with nuclear devastation.
(English) "This designation will impose further sanctions
and penalties on North Korea and related persons and supports our maximum pressure campaign
to isolate the murderous regime..."
He cited the murder of Kim Jong-un's half brother in Malaysia earlier this year,...
by a pair of individuals suspected of acting under orders from North Korea.
Trump also referred to the death of American student Otto Warmbier... who was detained
by Pyongyang for over a year-and-a-half... as well as other victims of North Korean oppression
and brutality.
He said... the Treasury Department will announce the additional sanctions soon... which he
promised will be of the "highest level".
The U.S. president ended his remarks by urging North Korea to be lawful,... and bring an
end to its illegal nuclear and ballistic missile developments.
Following that meeting,...
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said in a White House press briefing... that the latest
move will help dissuade third parties from supporting the regime.
Tillerson emphasized... it was part of a peaceful campaign of pressure... and the U.S. was ultimately
hoping for a diplomatic solution to resolve tensions with the North.
Pyongyang's reinstatement on Washington's list of terror sponsors,... comes nine years
after its removal by the George W. Bush administration... as part of a denuclearization deal which ultimate
failed.
North Korea joins Iran, Sudan, and Syria on the blacklist... which bars them receiving
U.S. aid... in addition to tougher financial restrictions.

Luke Harding On Whether Russia Can Blackmail Donald Trump - Duration: 1:11.I think Russia clearly has something on
Trump. You can call it leverage. You can
call it blackmail. You can call it a big
file of compromising material stretching
back, I think, certainly to the 1980s
to when Trump visited Soviet Russia at
the invitation of the government. It was
an official visit; He wasn't
going as a tourist, you know, he'd
been invited by the Soviet ambassador.
So there's an enormous amount of
material and one of the things I try
and piece together is the sex and the
money: The Russian money going to
Trump properties; Trump's doomed but
persistent attempts to build a hotel in
Moscow which were going on as late as
2016. There's a kind of meshing that
goes on between the sort of two sides.
And if you believe the Steeel dossier
which broadly I do, the operation to
cultivate Trump has been going on for at
least five years. In its most
recent phase.

Trump Sends a Very Clear Message in Statement on Border Agent Killed on Patrol - Duration: 4:40.Trump Sends a Very Clear Message in Statement on Border Agent Killed on Patrol.
By Jack Davis.
The deadly attack on two Border Patrol agents that left one dead and one injured is clear
proof that America needs a wall along its porous Southern Border, President Donald Trump
said Monday.
Trump spoke to reporters briefly before a Cabinet meeting. As reported by the U.K. Daily
Mail, Trump spoke on a number of issues including tax reform and North Korea, before addressing
the incident in which Rogelio Martinez was killed.
Ryan James Girdusky @RyanGirdusky This is Border Patrol Agent Rogelio Martinez
was ambushed by a group of illegal aliens. His skull was crushed by a rock. This is the
price of an unsecured border. #BuildTheWall #RogelioMartinez RIP Rogelio.
�Finally, I want to wish the American people a truly happy and blessed Thanksgiving, especially
to our brave men and women serving in our military and our Border Patrol and ICE agents
along the very dangerous southern border. As you heard, we lost a Border Patrol officer
just yesterday, and another one was brutally beaten and badly, badly hurt. Looks like he�ll
make it, but very, very badly hurt,� Trump said.
�And we talk about the wall � we�re going to have the wall. It�s a part of what
we�re doing. We need it. It�s rough territory. That�s where the drugs are coming in. A
lot of things are happening along the border � the southern border � and we�re going
to straighten it out,� he added.
The Trump administration has begun development of prototypes for a wall that would span key
sections of the border. Trump said that his efforts to step up border security have reduced
the flow of illegal immigrants, but there more must be done.
�We�ve already reduced the numbers � and you see the numbers � they�re back to
78 percent down from what they were. And those numbers will get better and better but we
have to stop the massive drug flow from pouring in. And my respect to the families that were
so badly hurt yesterday, because they were devastating. Those two families were devastated,�
Trump said.
The president also tweeted his commitment for justice and order along the border.
Donald J. Trump ? @realDonaldTrump Border Patrol Officer killed at Southern Border,
another badly hurt. We will seek out and bring to justice those responsible. We will, and
must, build the Wall! Trump tweeted.
On Sunday, Martinez and his partner were on patrol in the Big Bend section of Texas when
they were attacked near Interstate 10. They had been summoned to that area by the report
of unspecified activity.
�It was a cowardly act. One of our agents was murdered and another was an attempted
murder, and we look forward to getting whoever did this in custody, and hopefully, the full
weight of the U.S. justice system will come down on them,� said Chris Cabrera, a spokesman
for the National Border Patrol Council, which represents Border Patrol agents.
He said that Martinez was hit in the head with a blunt object, possibly a large rock.
�We�ve had agents, a good friend of mine actually almost lost his eye. It happens quite
a bit, unfortunately,� Cabrera said, adding that Border Patrol vehicles are often attacked
by thrown rocks.
�It�s nothing to laugh at,� he said. �It�s something that will physically and
permanently disfigure you, if not kill you.�
Although no official statement was issued about how Martinez was killed, the FBI sad
that the agents were not fired upon.
What do you think?

Trump Overturns Obama Ban, Sends "Mad Dog" Mattis to Wipe Out Taliban - Duration: 5:04.Upon taking office, President Donald Trump "unleashed" the U.S. military on the Islamic
State group, giving them free reign to destroy the terrorists wherever they may be found
in Iraq and Syria, with an emphasis on destroying their means of revenue and support, particularly
oil production.
As part of his revised strategy for defeating the Taliban in Afghanistan, Trump has similarly
unleashed the military and tasked them with destroying the group's means of revenue
and support, in this case the production and trafficking of opium and heroin, according
to the Military Times.
It has long been understood that the Taliban exerted control over the cultivation of the
poppy plant across vast swathes of the country, which in turn is produced into opium and further
refined into morphine and heroin.
It is estimated that the Taliban derives a profit of about $200 million a year via the
production and trade of illegal narcotics around the globe.
When Trump announced his new strategy for Afghanistan, he relaxed restrictive rules
of engagement for the region put in place by former President Barack Obama — such
as a mandate that any action taken must be defensive in nature.
Instead, he tasked Defense Secretary James Mattis with taking the fight to the enemy
instead of waiting for them to come to us.
Mattis delegated this new authority to the U.S. commander in Afghanistan, Gen. John Nicholson,
who has now unleashed the air assets at his disposal to use targeted airstrikes against
the Taliban's primary means of income, the drug trade, according to the Washington Examiner.
"These new authorities give me the ability to go after the enemy in ways that I couldn't
before … to use airpower in the most effective way, going forward," stated Nicholson from
Afghanistan in a teleconference briefing with Pentagon reporters.
"We're hitting the Taliban where it hurts, which is their finances."
The war in Afghanistan has seen a typical cycle over the years of intense fighting during
the spring and summer seasons with a lull during the fall and winter.
Those days are now over, as Nicholson intends to keep constant pressure on the group going
forward.
That "pressure" will come in three main forms: Hitting the Taliban as hard as possible
on the battlefield using all means available, including overwhelming air support; placing
increasing economic pressure on them by targeting their drug production facilities; and putting
social pressure on them via upcoming democratic elections, all of which are intended to force
them to cease fighting and enter into a "reconciliation process."
The use of airpower to target the Taliban's economic lifeblood — opium and heroin — is
actually being led by the Afghans themselves, who on Sunday used A-29 Super Tucano light
attack aircraft to bomb two major drug labs.
The U.S. followed by hitting eight other similar targets with B-52 bombers and even an F-22
stealth fighter, which was capable of delivering a small bomb to a specific target without
causing widespread collateral damage.
It is thought that, over the course of the next year or two, the constant pressure on
the Taliban will reduce their control over large parts of Afghanistan and marginalize
them to an extent that they'll have no choice but to stop fighting.
"Our message to the enemy is that 'You cannot win the war; it's time to lay down
your arms and enter into the reconciliation process,'" Nicholson explained, according
to Department of Defense News.
"If they don't, they're going to be confined to irrelevance as the Afghans expand
their control of the country — or death," he added.
Nicholson described the Taliban as having increasingly become a "narco-insurgency"
that is largely fueled by the illicit drug trade.
However, the group also utilizes illegal mining, kidnapping for ransom and murder as a means
to acquire funds as well.
"To some extent it's fair to say that this movement has evolved into a narco-insurgency
so their profits from narcotics now exceed their operating expenses," Nicholson stated.
"We find that the leadership of the Taliban fight over the money and it's often divided
along tribal lines."
In years past, our military was essentially handcuffed in Afghanistan, operating under
incredibly restrictive rules of engagement that required high level approval from Washington
in order to do just about anything.
Those days are over.
President Trump — through Mattis — has granted the military the autonomy it needs
to do the job they were assigned 17 years ago: utterly defeat the terrorist-supporting,
drug-trading Taliban and bring their barbaric insurgency to its knees.

JUST IN! FBI Issues Major Trump Message And Media Stunned!!! - Duration: 4:49.-------------------------------------------
This Is The HUGE Surprise Trump Just Delivered To Muslim Leader's Office That Has Libs Ready - Duration: 6:25.The left already has an unhealthy hatred for President Donald Trump that has reached epic
proportions, but it is about to get a whole lot worse after what the Trump administration
just announced to Palestinian Muslim leaders in Washington D.C.
For the last eight years under the Obama administration, Mulsim countries were able to flourish and
commit horrific human rights violations without any repercussions.
One state that was able to grow under the Obama years was Palestine as these aggressors
continually attacked Israel killing hundreds of innocent civilians on a daily basis.
Well, now it appears that those days of terror may end soon for Israel after Trump just issued
a surprise ultimatum that could stop Palestine in its tracks.
When Barack Obama was president, he did all he could to help our nation's enemies grow
and alienate our greatest allies and on the American taxpayer's dime.
However, that is all about to change after Trump informed the Palestinian Liberation
Office (PLO) a few days ago, that they would shut their offices down in Washington D.C.,
and throw them out of the country if they continue their hostility to Israel.
Of course, this is a massive change in policy after Barack Obama did all he could to appease
Palestine who continually broke peace treaties.
Now, President Trump is not putting up with Palestine's excuses so that they continue
terrorizing the small Jewish territory in a move that will have liberals screeching.
Here is more from The Daily Caller:
The Trump administration said Friday it will shut down the Palestinian Liberation Office
(PLO) in Washington, D.C., unless the Palestinians get serious about peace talks with Israel.
The State Department has determined that the PLO has violated a law stating that the PLO
cannot push for the International Criminal Court (ICC) to prosecute Israelis.
Violation of this law means that the State Department could force the PLO to close its
mission, The Associated Press reports.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas stated in September that the Palestinians have called
for the ICC to "open an investigation and to prosecute Israeli officials for their involvement
in settlement activities and aggression against our people."
Given the PLO's violation, President Donald Trump has 90 days to assess whether the Palestinians
are engaged in meaningful negotiations with Israel.
If Trump decides that the negotiations are meaningful, the Palestinians can keep their
D.C. office.
But if not, the office will be shut down.
It's also possible that the Trump administration could close the office down before the 90-day
window, but even if the office is closed, that doesn't mean peace efforts have collapsed.
Trump's team has already started working on a plan to bring peace to the Middle East
10 months after taking office.
For Trump, achieving peace in that region is the "ultimate deal."
The plan will likely discuss Jerusalem and settlements in the West Bank.
The Palestinians have expressed some amount of skepticism because of how Trump's loud,
unabashed support for Israel and the fact that several Trump staffers heading the plan
are Jews, like Jason D. Greenblatt, chief negotiator, David M. Friedman, ambassador
to Israel and Jared Kushner.
It's unclear when the Trump administration will release a peace proposal.
Trump and his administration will closely watch Palestine and Isreal in hopes that the
two can hammer out a peaceful negation.However, if Palestine refuses to negotiate or violate
any of the terms discussed during the peace talks, President Trump will shut down their
D.C. office faster then they can say halal meat.
Of course, Palestine leadership sees this as a huge negative and has even gone as far
as to call it "extortion" and threatened more retaliation if this continues.
Here is more from the Los Angeles Times:
On Saturday, Palestinian Authority Foreign Minister Riyad Maliki said Washington's
threats amounted to "extortion," and were part of a U.S. effort to sow uncertainty in
the Palestinian leadership.
The White House and the Israeli government declined to comment.
The State Department told Haaretz that the latest warning was based on a technicality.
"In December 2015, Congress introduced a new condition concerning certain Palestinian
actions related to the International Criminal Court.
The most recent certification period ended in November.
We were unable to make a new certification, and have notified the PLO accordingly.
The secretary concluded that the factual record, in particular, certain statements made by
Palestinian leaders about the ICC, did not permit him to make the factual certification
required by the statute," the department said, according to the newspaper.
Late in the day, Palestinian sources told the AP that they would suspend all communication
with the Trump administration if the U.S. closes the PLO office in Washington.
The State Department official clarified that "the same statute allows for a waiver of
restrictions on the PLO in the U.S., including operation of its Washington office, if after
90 days the president determines the Palestinians have entered into direct, meaningful negotiations
with Israel.
We are hopeful that this closure will be short-lived."
Of course, it goes without saying that the left would scream like banshees after hearing
President Trump's stance, but it is about time that America pushes the Palestine state
to end their nonsense against Isreal.
For years, Obama allowed the Palestinians to continue attacking Israel without any consequences
for their actions, yet would do his best to alienate one of greatest allies.
Hopefully, this harsh stance will push the Palestinians to re-focus on peace or they
can start packing their boxes and get out of America.
The time of appeasing our enemies is over and now standing with allies has begun thanks
to President Trump.

Trump vows to play a role in House Senate tax negotiations - Duration: 2:07.Trump
vows to play a role in House-Senate tax negotiations.
by Sarah Westwood.
President Trump said Monday he plans to participate actively in tax reform negotiations if the
House and Senate have an opportunity to reconcile their versions of tax legislation in the weeks
ahead.
"With the Democrats giving us no votes for tax cuts for purely political reasons � obstructionists
� it will be up to the Republicans to come through for America.
I think they will.
I hope they will," Trump said before a Cabinet meeting at the White House.
"It's up to the Senate, and if they approve it, the House and the Senate will get together.
I'll be there, right in the middle of it, and we will come up with a bill that will
be spectacular for growth and spectacular for the people of this country."
Trump praised House Republicans for passing a tax cut last week and expressed optimism
that Senate Republicans would soon find the votes to advance its slightly different tax
bill in the coming days.
"I want to congratulate the House of Representatives for passing a vital and historic tax cut last
week, and I'm very hopeful the Senate will do the same very soon," he said.
"We're going to give the American people a huge tax cut for Christmas.
Hopefully that will be a great, big, beautiful Christmas present," Trump added.
