May 22, 2018
President Donald Trump on Tuesday signaled the highly anticipated summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, scheduled to take place in Singapore on June 12, could be postponed.
"If it doesn't happen, maybe it will happen later. Maybe it will happen at a different time, but we will see." Trump said ahead of a closed-door meeting with South Korean President Moon Jae-in. "It may not work out for June 12."

An Unconstitutional Rampage
Trump and Musk are on an unconstitutional rampage, aiming for virtually every corner of the federal government. These two right-wing billionaires are targeting nurses, scientists, teachers, daycare providers, judges, veterans, air traffic controllers, and nuclear safety inspectors. No one is safe. The food stamps program, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are next. It’s an unprecedented disaster and a five-alarm fire, but there will be a reckoning. The people did not vote for this. The American people do not want this dystopian hellscape that hides behind claims of “efficiency.” Still, in reality, it is all a giveaway to corporate interests and the libertarian dreams of far-right oligarchs like Musk. Common Dreams is playing a vital role by reporting day and night on this orgy of corruption and greed, as well as what everyday people can do to organize and fight back.
