Vermont Democrat Bernie Sanders said he doesn’t “fault” the president for his handling of Kim Jong Un.
Trump’s face-to-face meetings with Kim are “the right thing to do,” Sanders told ABC News, even given North Korea’s recent launch of short range missiles over the Sea of Japan.
“You know, this is one area, actually, where I do not fault Trump,” the 2020 presidential candidate told ABC’s Jonathan Karl. “I think the idea of sitting down with Kim Jong Un is the right thing to do. It is very, very difficult, but clearly they are a threat to the planet,” Sanders said.

President Donald Trump said he briefly discussed special counsel Robert Mueller’s report in a call with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday, but didn’t warn his Russian counterpart to not meddle in the next US election.
“We didn’t discuss that. Really, we didn’t discuss it. We discussed five or six things. We also went into great detail on various things,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office after the phone call, which occurred on Friday morning.
Earlier, Trump tweeted he’d discussed the “Russian hoax” with Putin, along with other issues, during their hour-long phone call.

IDF confirmed the death of a mother and her infant in Gaza on Saturday, but “officially states” that they were killed by Hamas not by Israeli airstrikes.
Hamas has accused Israel of causing the deaths despite the fact that the terror group initiated the violence by firing off 300 rockets into Israel.
“The terror organisations’ propaganda at its finest,” Israeli army spokesman Ronen Manelis said on Twitter.
“I officially state that they were killed by the use of Hamas weapons” was the actual wording he used.

North Korea launched short-range missiles into the sea Saturday, the South Korean military said, in what would be Pyongyang’s first such action for more than a year as it seeks to up pressure on Washington with nuclear talks deadlocked.
The North “fired a number of short-range missiles from its Hodo peninsula near the east coast town of Wonsan to the northeastern direction from 9:06 am (0006 GMT) to 09:27 am today,” the South’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement.
The missiles travelled from 70 to 200 kilometers (45 to 125 miles) towards the East Sea, also known as the Sea of Japan, the JCS added.
The last North Korean missile launch was in November 2017.

The US firmly backed Israel and condemned Palestinian terror groups Saturday after 400 rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip.
“The United States strongly condemns the ongoing barrage of rocket attacks by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad from Gaza upon innocent civilians and their communities across Israel. We call on those responsible for the violence to cease this aggression immediately,” State Department spokesperson Morgan Ortagus said in a statement.
“We stand with Israel and fully support its right to self defense against these abhorrent attacks,” she added.
