Trump Shifts Focus from Korea to Iran | Raleigh News

About this episode

Trump shocks allies by ordering Pentagon to slash joint drills with South Korea, calling them costly and counterproductive amid his “respectful” ties with Kim Jong Un — a move slammed by Senator Reed as dangerously appeasing a dictator and eroding U.S. credibility. As military resources strain from the Iran conflict — with carriers stretched thin and crews overworked — America’s focus shifts away from Asia, raising alarm. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court rejects Trump’s final attempt to undo a jury’s verdict against him in the E. Jean Carroll case, while the BBC seeks U.S. help to subpoena Trump family members for a defamation suit. With Iran’s 60-day peace deadline expired and Gaza tensions soaring, Kushner meets Netanyahu to push for a ceasefire roadmap — all as the U.S. navigates a fractured global posture.
