PUTIN SAYS ‘SHREWD’ KIM JONG UN HAS OUTWITTED TRUMP IN NUCLEAR STANDOFF BETWEEN NORTH KOREA, U.S.
BY MAYA RAJAMANI ON 1/11/18 AT 2:43 PM/Newsweek
Russian President Vladimir Putin paid North Korea’s Kim Jong Un a compliment on Thursday, calling him a “shrewd and mature politician” whose country had come out on top in its nuclear standoff with South Korea and the U.S.
In his New Year’s address, Kim warned of “a nuclear button on the desk in [his] office” that could launch a strike anywhere in the U.S., but also spoke of easing tensions between North and South Korea “to create a peaceful environment,” prompting a series of high-level talks between the two countries.
In a meeting with Russian journalists on Thursday, Putin praised Kim for his statements and for initiating the talks, the first of which took place on Tuesday.
“I believe Mr. Kim Jong Un has certainly won this round,” Putin said, according to Russian state news outlet RT.
“He has a nuclear [charge] and a...missile with a range of up to 13,000 kilometers that can reach almost any place on Earth, or at least any territory of his potential adversary,” he added.
Putin also called Kim “shrewd and mature,” Reuters reported.

Trump says immigrants are from 'shithole' countries
Trump attacks protections for immigrants from ‘shithole’ countries in Oval Office meeting
By Josh Dawsey January 11 at 4:37 PM
President Trump grew frustrated with lawmakers Thursday in the Oval Office when they floated restoring protections for immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador and African countries as part of a bipartisan immigration deal, according to two people briefed on the meeting.
“Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” Trump said, according to these people, referring to African countries and Haiti. He then suggested that the United States should instead bring more people from countries like Norway, whose prime minister he met yesterday.
The comments left lawmakers taken aback, according to people familiar with their reactions. Sens. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) and Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.) proposed cutting the visa lottery program by 50 percent and then prioritizing countries already in the system, a White House official said.
A White House spokesman declined to offer an immediate comment on Trump’s remarks.
Outlining a potential bipartisan deal, the lawmakers discussed restoring protections for countries that have been removed from the temporary protected status program while adding $1.5 billion for a border wall and making changes to the visa lottery system.

President Trump and Jared Kushner, his son-in-law and senior adviser, met with criminal justice reform advocates Thursday, giving new hope that action to reverse the nation's burgeoning incarceration rates is still possible.
A White House official told The Hill the meeting was focused on prison reform and reentry, as well as the successes states like Georgia, Kansas and Kentucky have had in enacting programs aimed at reducing recidivism rates and rehabilitating inmates.
Trump said during the meeting that his administration is committed to helping former inmates become productive, law abiding members of society.
