Trump Will Meet With at Least Six World Leaders Next Week at UN

Source: Bloomberg

President Donald Trump will meet privately with at least six other world leaders next week at the United Nations, where he’ll also make remarks on countering illicit narcotics.

Trump will have a one-on-one meeting with South Korean President Moon Jae-in, according to a schedule released Thursday by the White House. The pair is expected to discuss Moon’s recent visit to North Korea to meet Kim Jong-un. Trump will also meet privately with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who has assisted in the U.S. "maximum pressure" campaign designed to bring North Korea to the negotiating table.

Trump’s visit to the UN will also include a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron. They are expected to gather again in Paris in November for a parade marking the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I.

In addition to the one-on-one meetings, Trump will address the UN General Assembly on Tuesday and chair a UN Security Council briefing on counter-proliferation on Wednesday.
When asked Thursday if Trump would meet with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, U.S. Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley said “certainly if Rouhani requested a meeting it would be for the president to decide if he wants to do that.”

It's getting dicey and he'll want to assure him that Kavanaugh, aka get out of jail free card, will definitely be installed on SCOTUS so their plan to destroy America is on track. He'll tell him, don't worry, I'm firing AG and Deputy AG the day after the mid-terms, as long as he (PUtin) steals this election for Russian Repugs like he did the last. He'll only install someone who pledges personal loyalty to him in both the AG and Deputy AG positions and they have to agree with firing Mueller and destroying every bit of evidence and letting public know nothing of his documented treason,money laundering, tax evasion and fraud.

But it will come out anyway. Once PUtin has everything he wants, he will release all the videos and tapes of drumpf committing massive crimes against the USA, dissing his base for being idiots, make quid pro quo deals with other countries to benefit himself financially, being a mean racist and misogynist to create even more havoc.

They will wonder - perhaps aloud - just what the US did to merit such a leader.

Trump would like to raze most of all, with the possible exception of the U.S. District Court, Southern District. They're cooking up some very nice surprises for Mr. Trump in that Courthouse.
