McClatchy News White House correspondent Anita Kumar
McClatchy News reporter Anita Kumar stunned an MSNBC panel on Sunday with the news that North Korea may be planning to test a missile while President Donald Trump is in China or South Korea this week.
In a discussion of what Trumps aides and advisers will be trying to keep the president focused on during his trip, Kumar said, His number one top priority is North Korea.
The president, she said, needs to watch what language he uses on this trip to take care to not roil already tense relations between China, South Korea, North Korea and the United States.
What experts are telling me, though, is that there might be a missile test by North Korea while Pres. Trump is traveling, she warned. Thats going to put him on the spot while hes in China or South Korea.
So that would be huge, Kumar said. Hed have to decide then and there how to react.

(10,127 posts)6. I didnt say that, however it would clearly be a sign of aggression
That some would find untenable.

No big deal if another country wants to. Until were willing to get rid of our missiles, we dont have the right to worry or complain about others.
