Dr John Nilsson-Wright, senior research fellow for north east Asia at Chatham House, says the North Koreans will believe Trump is ‘bluffing’ when it comes to seeing through his military threats.

The Trump Presidency has inspired all manner of parody, comedy, and drama. Now it seems remarkably close in a new novel about a fictional, un-named, sociopathic US president declaring war on North Korea. The only way to stop him is a conspiracy in the so-called ‘deep state’ – that supposed combination of government and secret…

President Trump has warned – in a tweet – that military solutions are locked and loaded “should North Korea act unwisely”.

The only other person present was a Russian translator. Mr Trump called the media speculation about the meeting “sick”.

The Trump travel ban is still stalled before the courts. Afghanistan was not on the list of Muslim-majority countries affected by the ban, but a group of young roboticists from that country has become a cause celebre.
