President Donald Trump has once again made headlines with a variety of actions, ranging from foreign relations to domestic policies. In a recent Fox News interview, Trump expressed intentions to communicate with North Korea's Kim Jong Un, describing him as a 'smart guy' while emphasizing his positive rapport with the leader.
Domestically, Trump's choice for Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, is under scrutiny following statements from his ex-wife regarding alcohol abuse, raising concerns during his Senate background check. In separate news, Trump's administration is pressing forward with a plan for the full federal recognition of the Lumbee Tribe in North Carolina, a move that could provide significant resources.
Meanwhile, Trump faces criticism for his approach to managing disaster aid and his controversial pardons of anti-abortion activists.
