Again from Channel 4 News. I can only agree with the comment "more Kim Jong-un than leader of the free world".

Towards the end Financial Times columnist Jillian Ted,who's also the head of King's College, Cambridge explains the consequences of Trump's moves, should he carry them through.

I know not everyone likes the internet but this is the source of diverse opinion these days.

According to his Truth Social account, The Orange One is upset because the other despots didn't invite him to the parade in China hahaha.

He has one style of leadership -bullying and flattering, and this has proved quite effective at home, but Mr Trump has found that these strategies have fallen on stony ground in international relations. Other leaders smile at him, and then go off to talk and plan amongst themselves.

Trump may reign supreme in the White House, but world power is shifting eastwards.
