North Korea Nuclear Talks: What's in it for Trump?
The world is left with plenty of questions after President Donald Trump surprisingly agreed to talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Esquire's Jack Holmes joins Cheddar to discuss Trump's communications strategy around the announcement. He thinks the president's approach proves he's still running The White House as though it were a reality TV show.
President Trump will meet with man he once described as "Little Rocket Man" in the hopes of denuclearizing North Korea. Holmes describes what's at stake in the unprecedented negotiations. Trump would be the first American president to meet with a leader of the communist state.
The news comes as the White House's Stormy Daniels scandal is picking up steam.

The former president was shot in the ear during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The FBI identified the shooter as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen pledged that the U.S. and its allies wouldn't hesitate to use their sanctions powers to address Iran's "malign and destabilizing activity” in the region.
