This is just going to erode trust from the S. Korean govt after pledging $150B investments in the US. Why would any company want to build here. He wants to bring manufacturing to the US but then pulls this shit where workers are chained & shackled? They should pull out—foreign employees are at risk.

Don't judge Xi Jinping's summitry by either photo ops or outcomes. Just the fact that his aims are clear and achievable, and the West's are not, was enough, Marc Champion writes.

Today, I stand with the Epstein survivors.
We need to listen to these women. We need to believe them. Not Ghislaine Maxwell, not Speaker Johnson or Nancy Mace, and not the president. They've been silenced for decades and need our support as they stand at the Capital steps and tell their stories.
