'BradCast' 6/12/2018 (Former Deputy Asst. Sec. of State Michael Fuchs)
b"After turning on our closest allies at the G7 summit over the weekend, Donald Trump made history on Tuesday by shaking hands, meeting with, and praising brutal North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un at a much-anticipated, on-again/off-again, made-for-Reality TV summit in Singapore.\\xa0 The joint statement from the meeting vaguely referenced "denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula," with the U.S. offering security guarantees to North Korea in exchange for what appears to be precious little in return. Trump later dismissed the documented history of murderous and brutal human rights violations in NK, which our guest today, MICHAEL FUCHS, former Deputy Asst. Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific affairs, describes as "the most brutal dictatorship on the face of the planet." Fuchs offers key insight and analysis as a former diplomat who worked closely on these issues in previous administrations, describing the history of similar (and much more comprehensive) agreements with North Korea, and what he describes as "the latest episode in the TV series starring the US president, Donald Trump, North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, and a stockpile of nuclear weapons."\\xa0 Plus Desi Doyen has the latest 'Green News Report', with details on how climate change was at the center of Trump's turn against the United States' closes allies at the G7 summit in Canada..."
