Oh, Canada: Trump tramples an ally

Don't be surprised if other world leaders decide it's in their interest to behave antagonistically toward America now that Trump has decided it's in his interest to do so to them.

North Korea shouldn't have nukes — and neither should we

Leaders of our country, Republican and Democrat alike, who demand that the United States accept nothing less from North Korean President Kim Jong-un than his country’s unilateral denuclearization, should consider what gives America – or any country — a right to have these weapons.

Advantage Kim

Historic meeting in Singapore produces uncertain results, but that it happened at all is a big boost for North Korea's dictator.

Witcover: Trump's change of heart on North Korea summit

 In the old language of the 1963 Cuban Missile Crisis, President Donald Trump "has just blinked" regarding the planned meeting with North Korea dicatator Kim Jong Un. In President John F. Kennedy's day, a nuclear exchange with the Soviet Union was avoided. This time, who knows?

Zirpoli: Loyalty must be earned

A good manager balances the good and bad in everyone and every situation. Public humiliation, as President Trump demonstrates frequently with the Justice Department, the FBI, and members of his cabinet, earn him disloyalty, not loyalty.

Trump and Kim should hold their summit at Baltimore's HonFest, here's why

President Trump will have his much-anticipated meeting with North Korea’s Kim Jong-un in Singapore on June 12. And that’s a pity. Nuclear Armageddon would be more easily avoided if theymet a few days earlier at Hamden’s annual HonFest, which has, at its root what the two men have in common: hair.

Trump's approach to Kim Jong-un follows 'negotiation playbook'

Mr. Trump has his critics; nowhere has this been more apparent than in the evaluation of his efforts to resolve the inherited threat posed by North Korea. As a former government negotiator, however, I find myself viewing his actions from a perspective not often considered.

Witcover: The rule of law, and of sanity, in Trumpland

With our executive branch in the hands of Donald Trump and the Republican-controlled legislative branch now essentially subservient to him, the judicial branch and the Justice Department  now remain the principal defenders of the rule of law in this country.

Zirpoli: Trump is weak on Russia ... but why?

Hours before calling Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to tell him he was being fired from his position, Trump publicly announced Tillerson’s firing in a tweet. With that tweet, once again, Trump demonstrated two things: He has no loyalty to those who serve in his administration and he has no class.

Politicians use Olympics to cloud human rights abuses

There is a battle taking place at the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, and it is not about sports. The United States and North Korea are locked in a struggle over who controls the narrative on human rights abuses in the reclusive regime.

Donald Trump needs the UN to deal with issues like North Korea. But he's made his own task much harder.

Shifting the narrative on North Korea

President Trump's intimidation skills are undeniable but off-the-cuff bombast and bluster in a matter of war and peace with North Korea only risk escalation.
