Democratic congressional leaders blasted President Trump on Tuesday for granting concessions to North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un in exchange for a deal to work toward “complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula” that offered scant details on how to achieve it.

As Republican leaders reacted with cautious optimism, Democrats said Trump gave up leverage by meeting with Kim and by agreeing so quickly to halting joint U.S. military exercises with South Korea. Trump announced the concession after the historic meeting with Kim in Singapore, calling the exercises “tremendously expensive” and “very provocative” to North Korea.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the 70-year-old Kudlow was "doing well."

She said in a statement that he "experienced what his doctors say, was a very mild heart attack."

President Trump doubled down on his criticism of Canada and the European Union (EU) late Sunday amid the ongoing fallout from a tense meeting between members of the Group of Seven (G-7) industrialized nations this past weekend.

“Fair Trade is now to be called Fool Trade if it is not Reciprocal. According to a Canada release, they make almost 100 Billion Dollars in Trade with U.S. (guess they were bragging and got caught!).
