Trump mockingly told Putin not to "meddle," floated rumor Dems would become "Socialist Party" in front of Bolsonaro. ... Yet tried to stop questions when reporters asked whether he would hold MbS to account over slain WaPo journalist Jamal Kashoggi. — PolitiTweet.org

David Nakamura @DavidNakamura

Longtime DC foreign policy wonk who met recently with South Koreans tells me they made no mention of Trump inviting Kim to meeting at DMZ. Notes that if Kim shows and Trump steps over border to shake hands, he'll go down in history as first sitting president to visit the North. — PolitiTweet.org

David Nakamura @DavidNakamura

I'd also like to point out that when Trump went to South Korea in 2017, one of the same senior officials told the press ahead of time that he would not try to visit DMZ because it was a "cliche." Then Trump tried to make surprise trip only to be foiled by bad weather. — PolitiTweet.org

David Nakamura @DavidNakamura

Trump on his tweet to Kim Jong Un: "I just put out a feeler because I don’t know where he is right now. He may not be in North Korea." ... I'd guess if Kim were out of NK, Trump would hear about it in his daily security briefing, not to mention global news coverage. — PolitiTweet.org

David Nakamura @DavidNakamura

Asked by reporters if he'll meet Kim Jong Un, Trump waxes on about his good relationship for three minutes. Then asked if he'll raise death of Jamal Kashoggi with MbS, Trump abruptly tries to end photo-op. "Thank you, everybody." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump is meeting with Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman here at G-20 and called him "a friend of mine." — PolitiTweet.org

David Nakamura @DavidNakamura

We were all wondering how long it would take for Trump to seize back the news cycle from the Dem candidates. Mission accomplished. https://t.co/3gUr0mzsXI — PolitiTweet.org

David Nakamura @DavidNakamura

On Monday, the WH held a background briefing for reporters on Trump's Asia trip with several senior admin officials. In one exchange, they said: 1. No meeting with Kim Jong Un was planned; 2. Trump's message to Putin on election interference would be emphasized strongly. 🤔🤔 https://t.co/JfGXByY2HZ — PolitiTweet.org

Talking about Venezuela in a bilateral with Brazilian president, Trump says: "There's a rumor the Democrats are changing the name of the party from the Democrat Party to the Socialist Party. I'm hearing that." (Fact check: Not true.) — PolitiTweet.org

WH readout of Trump-Putin meeting makes no mention of election interference. https://t.co/OsLJTeLJzt — PolitiTweet.org

FTR, a senior administration official, on a phone briefing with reporters on Monday, said of Trump's meeting: "With regard to the message for Putin, I think the President’s message on election interference is well known and he will be repeating it." — PolitiTweet.org
