Trump news on Youtube Nov 7 2017

Trump's trip to Korea garnered huge media attention as it is the first state visit to

the nation by an American leader in more than 2 decades.

At the top office a massive welcoming ceremony awaited the VIPs.

For details we turn to our Hwang Hojun Involving plenty of pomp and protocol,...

it was the warmest welcome South Korea can give.

The official welcoming ceremony for the first sitting U.S. President to make a state visit

to South Korea in 25 years was held with all the formalities and conventions of a state

visit, displaying the highest honor and courtesy,... and also featuring both the traditional and

modern sides of South Korea.

U.S. President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump entered the Blue House on Tuesday

afternoon, their cavalcade surrounded by traditional ceremonial guards.

A guard of honor and a military band made up of approximately 300 soldiers from South

Korean forces, a group of school children, and the first couple of South Korea greeted

the U.S. President and the First Lady.

And instead of any other ordinary march, the official Presidential Anthem of the U.S.,

"Hail to the Chief," was played in honor of President Trump as the two presidents entered

the Cheong Wa Dae grounds,... and "Mr. President," a song dedicated to President Moon, was played

upon their exit from the field after they inspected the troops as part of the welcoming

ceremony.

President Trump was not shy about expressing how much he was impressed.

The U.S. first couple left a message in the guest book that read,... quote "This is such

a great honor, thank you."

before entering the main building of the Blue House for the bilateral summit,... and even

expressed his gratitude before the meeting commenced.

(ENGLISH) "President Moon, I want to thank you so much

for that beautiful ceremony.

It doesn't get more beautiful than that.

I know the work that was put into it."

The two heads-of-state also enjoyed a promenade through the Blue House garden, and spared

some time to enjoy a cup of tea before their much anticipated joint press conference.

(STAND UP) Considering that President Trump is also the

first head of state to visit South Korea since President Moon's inauguration, and the delicate

time involving the alliance between Seoul and Washington, observers say the welcoming

ceremony was significant to herald a successful summit between the two leaders.

Donald Trump launches scathing attack on North Korea – 'Era of strategic patience is over'

During the speech, the President attacked Kim Jong-un and previous US regimes and emphasised a need for change in order to denuclearise the hermit kingdom. He said: "We are working to counter the dangerous aggressions of the regime in North Korea.

"The regime continues development of its unlawful weapons programmes including its illegal nuclear tests and outrageous launches of ballistic missiles directly over Japanese territory are a threat to the civilised world and international peace and stability.

"We will not stand for that, the era of strategic patience is over.

"Some people said that my rhetoric is very strong, but look what's happened with very weak rhetoric over the last 25 years, look where we are right now." Trump is currently on the second day of a 12-day Asian trip that is focusing on both trade and North Koreas nuclear missile programmes.

Abe told the same news conference that Japan backed Trumps stance that all options are on the table when it comes to North Korea, saying the two countries were 100 per cent together on the issue.

Earlier, Trump vowed to push for a free and balanced trade partnership with Japan after decades of massive trade deficits but said relations with close ally Tokyo were better than we have ever had.

Abe, at the start of a working lunch with Trump, offered his heartfelt condolences for the victims of a gunman who massacred at least 26 worshippers at a church in Texas.

White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said Trump, who earlier expressed grief for the victims, had no plans at this time to change the schedule for his 12-day Asian trip, which will also take him to Seoul, Beijing and Danang, Vietnam.

The increasingly aggressive rhetoric from the President comes as new reports have stated that North Korea is ready to carry out a nuclear test "at any time" as the country continues "active movement" around a missile research facility.

The National Intelligence Service (NIS), South Korea's spy agency, has given the chilling warning that the hermit kingdom is persisting with its efforts to start World War 3.

The NIS said: The North will carry out an additional nuclear test and continue to push for the development of miniaturised, diversified nuclear warheads." The South Korean agency stated that increased activity around a research facility in Pyongyang show that despot leader Kim Jong-un is gearing up to launch another world provocation for the first time since September.

WATCH: Trump Just Humiliated Obama, Look What He Did - Duration: 3:35.

The differences between President Trump and former President Obama are becoming more apparent.

According to The Daily Caller, when Obama visited with Japanese Emperor Akihito, he

bowed.

Yet when President Trump visited the emperor, he delivered a firm handshake.

According to Reuters, President Trump visited Japan for a number of issues.

He discussed defense options with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe regarding the two

missiles that were fired over the country's territory by North Korea.

Apparently, a deal was struck for Japan to purchase the means to shoot down the missiles

from the US.

According to Trump, "He (Abe) will shoot them out of the sky when he completes the

purchase of lots of additional military equipment from the United States.

The prime minister is going to be purchasing massive amounts of military equipment, as

he should.

And we make the best military equipment by far."

Currently, Japan's policy is to only shoot missiles that appear to be falling on Japanese

territory or is determined to be an "existential threat."

It's unclear if this policy will change in light of North Korean aggression.

President Trump was also in Japan to discuss economics.

In a public statement, President Trump said, "America is also committed to improving

our economic relationship with Japan.

As president, I'm committed to achieving fair, free, and reciprocal trading relationship.

We seek equal and reliable access for American exports to Japan's markets in order to eliminate

our chronic trade imbalances and deficits with Japan."

During his visit, he also met with the emperor in a meeting that has garnered a lot more

attention than it should for the etiquette shown and it's symbolic importance.

According to the Business Insider, bowing is customary in Japan as a sign of respect.

This is complicated by the fact that many in the US see bowing as a sign of weakness

and a handshake is preferred because it's seen as a sign of respect between equals.

Yet a handshake is complicated in this situation because Japanese royalty are customarily not

to be touched by guests.

Appeasing both US and Japanese customs in a greeting is essentially a paradox that US

presidents have long struggled with and been criticized for.

When former President Bill Clinton met with the emperor, he bowed with his hands together.

This was met with criticism from a White House official who stated: "Presidents don't

bow and Emperors don't toast."

Former President Obama decided to do a handshake while bowing, which was criticized for mixing

the customs and rejected by conservatives for showing weakness to a foreign dignitary.

It may not have been so bad had the emperor bowed back as an equal sign of respect, but

that was not the case.

President Trump's handshake will no doubt be seen as disrespectful by those on the Left

given he failed to customarily bow while the Right will see it as mutually respectful and

a greeting of equals.

Ultimately, the handshake was perhaps most appropriate.

Given that international dealings and the mixings of cultures and customs is becoming

more of a problem, the handshake is seen as the emerging customary greeting.

In the end, the emperor himself didn't seem bothered by the handshake and both he and

President Trump moved on to more important issues — which is ultimately what etiquette

critics should do.

Donald Trump met with the leader of the DPRK Kim Jong Eun, USA, North Korea HD - Duration: 0:51.

Trump said that he always dreamed of meeting with the leader of the DPRK Eun, negotiations

are under way.

   "I would sit down for talks with anyone I

do not think is a manifestation of strength or weakness I think it's not bad to negotiate

with people I'm definitely open to it But we'll see how everything goes, I think, it's

too early, "Trump said.

   

The international community condemned the actions of North Korea.

In particular, US President Donald Trump said that, in addition to strengthening sanctions

against the DPRK, Washington is considering the possibility of ending trade relations

with any country that cooperates with North Korea.

North Korea is 'THREAT to civilised world' fumes Donald Trump - Duration: 4:19.

North Korea is 'THREAT to civilised world' fumes Donald Trump

The US President was speaking after talks with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe as part of his 12-day tour of Asia.

And a sabre-rattling Mr Trump said Japan could shoot North Korean missiles out of the sky if Tokyo bought the US weaponry needed for doing so and took a stance it has avoided until now.

North Korea is pursuing a nuclear weapons and missile programme in defiance of UN Security Council sanctions and has made no secret of its plans to develop a missile capable of hitting the US mainland.  Pyongyang has already sparked outrage in the region by firing two missiles over Japan and has sparked fears of World War Three breaking out as dictator Kim Jong-un and Mr Trump trade threats.

Mr Trump repeated his mantra the era of strategic patience with North Korea is over" and warned Washington and Tokyo are working to counter the dangerous aggressions.

On his first official visit to Asia as president, Mr Trump also pressed Japan to lower its trade deficit with the US and buy more of its military hardware.

He said: "He will shoot them out of the sky when he completes the purchase of lots of additional military equipment from the US. "The prime minister is going to be purchasing massive amounts of military equipment, as he should.

And we make the best military equipment by far."  . Mr Trump described Pyongyangs nuclear tests and recent launches of ballistic missiles over Japan a threat to the civilized world and to international peace and stability.

Japan has taken a traditionally pacifist stance since the Second World War but has considered new measures in the wake of the North Korea threat.

Mr Trump said: Most importantly, were working to counter the dangerous aggressions of the regime in North Korea. "Some people said that my rhetoric is very strong.

But look whats happened with very weak rhetoric over the last 25 years. Look where we are right now." North Koreas recent actions have raised the stakes in the most critical international challenge of Mr Trumps presidency.

The president, who will visit South Korea and China on the trip and may eet Russian leader Vladimir Putin, has rattled some allies with his vow to totally destroy North Korea if it threatens the US and with his dismissal of Kim Jong-Un as a rocket man on a suicide mission.

Mr Abe said Japan backed Mr Trumps stance that all options are on the table, saying it was time to exert maximum pressure on North Korea and the two countries were 100 per cent together on the issue.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hua Chunying, said the North Korean situation was already extremely complex, sensitive and weak.

She said: "We hope that under the present circumstances, all sides words and actions can help reduce tensions and reestablish mutual trust and getting the North Korean nuclear issue back on the correct track of dialogue and negotiations.".

The US president was speaking in a press conference in Tokyo today, focused on cooperation between the allies in the face of growing concerns on North Korea. But Mr Trump broke from cordial rhetoric when comparing the two nations financially.

He said: "The Japanese people are thriving, your cities are vibrant and youve built one of the worlds most powerful economies. I dont know if its as good as ours, I think not.

And were going to try and keep it that way but youll be second.  .

Mr Trump continued by saying he wanted to correct a trade imbalance with Japan - actually the worlds third biggest economy - and urged the nation to buy more American military equipment.

He said: "America is also committed to improving our economic relationship with Japan. As president, Im committed to achieving fair, free, and reciprocal trading relationship.

We seek equal and reliable access for American exports to Japans markets in order to eliminate our chronic trade imbalances and deficits with Japan.    .

Mr Trump was talking with Prime Minister Abe on the first leg of his Asia tour, which will also see him head to China and South Korea.

But look whats happened with very weak rhetoric over the last 25 years. Look where we are right now.".

President Trump also will make a historic speech before South Korea's National Assembly. They will also discuss how to maintain the 28,500 US troops stationed in South Korea, which is said to be a costly measure despite tensions with the North.

Speaking ahead of the US President's visit, Van Jackson, a strategy fellow at the Centre for Strategic Studies at Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand said more "heated rhetoric" against North Korea is expected.

He said: "Trumps visit is a huge variable. Its a great opportunity to show a unity of purpose against North Korea and reinforce the larger US commitment to Asia, but theres also a risk of provoking North Korea.

"We should brace for more heated rhetoric and some attempt to reassure South Korea. For most Presidents, those tasks would not be mutually exclusive.

The problem is Trumps the wild card, not the reassurance guy. While in Japan, the US President described North Korea's nuclear weapons programme as a "threat to the civilised world as he repeated an earlier statement vowing that the "era of strategic patience is over".

During Trump's visit, dozens of US and South Korea marines are said to be taking part in j on the islands of Baengnyeong and Yeonpyeong. .

The drills, according to Seoul-based news agency Yonhap News, will include a mock attack by North Korea - a doomsday scenario which the US and South Korea are determined to be ready for.

The news agency said: "They have simulated a North Korean attack on the islands for the drill held in cooperation with fighter jets and ground forces.

"Its focused on enhancing combined air power in the Korean Marine Exchange Program, joined by more than 50 South Korean marines and around 30 US marines belonging to the 5th Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company, III Marine Expeditionary Force, stationed in Okinawa.".

South Koreas Marine Corps Commandant Lt. Gen. Jun Jin-goo added: "The South Korean and US Marine Corps are a classic model of the two countries alliance.

The strong combined power and camaraderie of the two sides are a reliable force to defend the Republic of Korea from the enemy. Three US aircraft carrier strike groups will also take part in separate exercises in the Western Pacific in another show of force.

"We will never yield, never waver and never falter in defence of our freedom" Donald Trump The US president kicked off his 12-day Asian tour to present a united front with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe amid tensions with the hermit kingdom over its nuclear and missile tests.

Trump has rattled some allies with his vow to "totally destroy" North Korea if he threatens the US and his dismissal of tyrant Kim as a "rocket man" on a suicide mission.

Today the Donald told hundreds of US and Japanese troops "No dictator, no regime, no nation should ever underestimate American resolve". He added: "Every once in a while, in the past, they underestimated us. It was not pleasant for them, was it?".

Pyongyang has put the US and its allies on high alert after it fired several missiles over Japan, which prompted Trump to step up military drills in the region.

Trump said: "We will never yield, never waver and never falter in defence of our freedom." On Air Force One he added that a decision would be made soon on whether to add North Korea to a list of state sponsors of terrorism.

Pyongyang is known to have developed strong ties with Iran, which the US claims exports terrorists and funds radical Islamic jihadis across the Middle East.

Does Melania BLANK Donald Trump in bombshell vid from Korea visit?

The US President is in Korea today amid a backdrop of rising tensions on the peninsula. Trump has been forthright in his aims, claiming this morning that "hopefully something successful will be worked out" with his hosts as they discuss the crisis.

But despite the ominous setting, video footage from Seoul has emerged appearing to show Melania Trump blank her husband. In the clip, the business tycoon addresses crowds alongside South Korean President Moon Jae-in at the Blue House in the country's capital.

But as they wave at onlookers, Trump turns to look at his oncoming wife – who seems to walk directly past him without so much as a glance.

The footage comes after a clip emerged appearing to show Melania being "snubbed" by the 71-year-old. The former model has repeatedly gone viral in recent months.

From wild conspiracy theories of a body double being used to fans fearing for her welfare after a bizarre handshake, Melania's transition into being First Lady has been far from seamless.

The couple are just 35 miles from the border with the North – around 120 miles from Kim Jong-un's HQ in Pyongyang.

Chillingly, spooks now fear the rogue state will be planning a massive missile launch to send a message to Trump as he gets the closest he has ever been to Kim.

Trump SHOCKS WORLD after saying he would sit down with North Korean leader to halt WW3

The extraordinary comments come as Trump kicked off his five-nation Asia tour in Japan on Sunday. He said: "I don't think it's strength or weakness, I think sitting down with people is not a bad thing.

"So, I would certainly be open to doing that (sitting down with Kim) but we'll see where it goes." The US president did admit, however, that he would not open talks with Kim anytime in the near future.

"I would certainly be open to doing that" Donald Trump Trump added: "I think we're far too early." His tone differs sharply with the more hotheaded remarks he made over the weekend.

The self-proclaimed deal-maker told troops at Yokota airbase near Tokyo that Kim should not "underestimate the US". He said: "No one, no dictator, no regime, no nation should underestimate American resolve.

"Every once in a while, in the past, they underestimated us.

It was not pleasant for them, was it?" Trump's harsh comments come after Pyongyang put the US and its allies on high alert after it fired several missiles over Japan, which prompted the US president to step up military drills in the region.

Recently the US sent two strategic bombers over South Korea, which further raised tensions with the secretive North. Daily Star Online revealed the monstrous arsenal at Trump's fingertips as he faces down North Korea.

It is estimated that 80,000 soldiers are at the ready to take out Kim if needed.

Donald Trump warns US will 'decide soon' on re-listing North Korea as TERROR SPONSOR

Speaking on Air Force One has he flew to Japan to begin his 12-day tour of Asia, Mr Trump said a decision on adding the reclusive regime to the list would be made soon.

White House adviser HR McMaster had earlier revealed Washington was considering placing North Korea on the list alongside Iran, Sudan and Syria.

Mr McMaster said the killing of Kim Jong-un's half brother in a Malaysian airport earlier this year could lead to Pyongyang's placement.

Although Malaysia has never directly accused North Korea of the murder, South Koreas spy agency said the attack was part of a plot emanating from the highest levels of the rogue regime.

Mr McMaster said: "A regime who murders someone in a public airport using nerve agent, a despotic leader who murders his brother in that manner, thats clearly an act of terrorism that fits in with a range of other actions." He said: Youll hear more about that soon, I think.

It is something thats under consideration."  . Kim's half brother, Kim Jong-nam, died in February after two women rubbed his face with a liquid later identified as VX nerve agent as he passed through the airport in Kuala Lumpur.

North Korea was on Washington's terrorism blacklist for two decades after the 1987 bombing of a South Korean airliner that killed 115 people but was removed from the list by President George W Bush in 2008 as part of disarmament negotiations.

North Korea is already heavily sanctioned over its nuclear weapons programme, so designating it a state sponsor of terrorism would largely be symbolic.

Mr Trump told reporters his administration planned to take a different approach after years of what he termed total weakness" over North Korea. He said: "We want to get it solved.

Its a big problem for our country and the world, and we want to get it solved. In an apparent attempt to distinguish between the Pynongang leadership leadership and ordinary people, he said he thought North Koreans were great people. He said: "And I hope it all works out for everybody.  .

Mr Trump was speaking as his 12-day Asian tour got underway against a backdrop of heightened tensions over Pyongyangs nuclear and missile tests.

The President has rattled some allies with his vow to totally destroy North Korea if it threatens the United States and his dismissal of Kim as a rocket man on a suicide mission.

And a top aide said Mr Trump intended to tell Asian leaders the world is running out of time in dealing with the nuclear crisis on the Korean peninsula.

Trump Is Bringing A Big Surprise To North Korea, Sending Bold Message To Rocket Man - Duration: 4:24.

Throughout this week, President Donald Trump continues his visit to Asian countries.

As he meets with world leaders, business owners, and strategic allies, he is sending a strong

message to the rogue nation of North Korea.

The United States will no longer tolerate their aggressive and reckless behavior.

To back his stance, Trump has brought along a few friends, and North Korea is getting

a big surprise that will send a bold message to Rocket Man.

One of the biggest issues the President has focused on during this trip is what to do

with North Korea.

Every major nation in the region is concerned with the Communist dictatorship.

Kim Jong-un's constant missile testing and weapons development have democratic nations

like South Korea and Japan on edge.

The dictator has regularly promised to destroy his neighbors and to take on America next.

It's getting so bad, that even China is worried.

With President Trump present in Asia, allied nations can meet and make decisions regarding

North Korea.

Trump can see firsthand what's going on in the region, especially in contested waters.

It also means it is a prime opportunity for the United States to offer a show of strength

to North Korea.

Kim Jong-un and his military act aggressively, so only aggressive statements will get their

attention.

That's exactly what Trump has planned.

According to reports, Trump has brought with him an impressive arsenal of ships, planes,

and troops.

Enough to show our allies that we mean business and to intimidate the unhinged dictator Kim.

NORTH Korea is nearly totally surrounded by a wall of US warships, bombers and missiles

with more than 80,000 soldiers on alert as Donald Trump heads for Asia…

Three US aircraft carriers are currently operating in the Pacific in an colossal flex of Trump's

military biceps.

USS Nimitz, USS Theodore Roosevelt and USS Ronald Reagan became the first trio of carriers

to operate in the region for a decade.

Each of these three warship bring with it a fully stocked wing of up to 90 warplanes

and choppers.

While steaming alongside are their escorts of destroyers and submarines making up the

US's mighty carrier strike groups.

The US's 7th Fleet has its headquarters in Japan – and brings up to 70 ships and

submarines under its command, including 14 missile-packed destroyers.

[Source: Daily Star] Including troops in over 100 nearby island

bases and the U.S. soldiers in South Korea, there are over 80,000 servicemen ready for

actions.

That's not to mention the 300 tanks stationed just across the border, along with armored

vehicles and artillery.

You could say that this show of force is needed to ensure the safety of the American president,

and you'd be right.

The United States military is not neglecting the security concerns of the President, First

Lady, and accompanying staff.

However, you also have to consider the message President Trump is sending with such a powerful

amount of vehicles, weapons, and troops.

They are literally surrounding North Korea in a wall of military might.

This coincides with statements Trump made this Monday, while in Japan.

The time for "strategic patience" with North Korea is over, US President Donald Trump

warned Monday, after winning Japan's backing for his policy of considering all options

to rein in the rogue state…

"The era of strategic patience is over," he declared alongside his host, Japanese Prime

Minister Shinzo Abe.

[Source: Breitbart] By bringing an impressive array of the military

with him to the region, Trump is backing his words.

North Korea is not only hearing, but seeing just what the United States is capable of.

It is a powerful sign of what might happen, should North Korea attack or invade our allies

in the region.

They would be met with swift retaliation from our formidable Armed Forces.

Perhaps this will teach North Korea to back down, at least a little bit.

However, I won't hold my breath waiting for Kim Jong-un to come to his senses.

Trump's trip to Korea garnered huge media attention as it is the first state visit to
