The White House says remains optimistic that a sit-down will take place between President Trump and Kim Jong-un, despite a flare-up in hostilities over joint military exercises the U.S. and South Korea are conducting.

Press Secretary Sarah Sanders told reporters Wednesday morning that North Korean outrage was par for the course and the U.S. was moving ahead with preparations for a June 12 summit in Singapore.

'We're ready to meet, and if that happens that's great. And if it doesn't, we'll see what happens. We're still hopeful that the meeting will take place and we'll continue down that path,' she said moments before on Fox & Friends. 'If it doesn't, we'll continue the maximum pressure campaign that's ongoing.'

How we would handle one more normal test is to perhaps ramp up sanctions, tighten the screws. We never gave him an ultimatum in that regard so we wouldn’t lose face anyway.

We for Iraq? Our Intel was in agreement with all of our allies Intel as far as WMD. HUSSEIN had months and months to move them out of Iraq and many have speculated they were taken to the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon.

There are satellite photos of large truck convoys leaving Iraq headed in that direction.

Yes, I agree. but a more prosperous nation is still to his advantage. Maybe he won’t have to imprison so many in labor camps if there is a little more oil on the bearings.

And yes, the posturing going on now is for the generals.

Will Guam tip over with more bombers?

This is the real question.

You’ve described our State Department rather accurately.

It has nothing to do with insincerity. Even if Bolton and Trump are correct, you don’t come out and compare the current situation with a previous one where the guy who gave up his nuclear program was later undermined by the U.S. and assassinated.
