I’ve just wrapped up a long trip to Japan. And I’ve taken away one lesson from all of my conversations, speeches and research: The rise of nationalism in the U.S. will cause massive shifts in global trade alliances.
One of the main beneficiaries will be Japan. Now, Japan might not be on your radar, day-to-day, but it’s about to play a very important role in the world of Donald Trump.
In the latest turn of increasingly more bizarre events leading up the death of North Korean ruler Kim Jong Un's half brother, who as revealed late last week had been poisoned with the deadly VX nerve agent, the arrested Indonesian woman who is one of the suspects in the killing said she was paid $90 to apply a baby oil-like liquid to his face in what she believed was a "prank."
Airport CCTV footage shows the brother of North Korea’s dictator being set upon by assassins at Kuala Lumpur International airport last week. A video released by Japanese broadcaster Fuji TV shows the alleged assassination in Malaysia of Kim Jong Nam, the estranged half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. A pair of women assassins are believed to have used poison “more toxic than cyanide” to kill him with. Kim Jong-nam died a few moments after the attack while on his way to hospital.
Chilling closed-circuit security footage has emerged of the killing of Kim Jong Nam last week, showing two attackers took less than three seconds to carry out the assault on the half-brother of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. As the WSJ first reported, the video clips from security cameras were obtained by a Japanese media outlet and posted by a third party on YouTube.
The half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un has been assassinated in Malaysia. A pair of female assassins believed to be North Korean agents attacked Kim Jong Nam at Kuala Lumpur airport on Monday. The exiled older half-brother of Kim Jong Un, once heir-apparent to his father and North Korea’s then-leader Kim Jong-II died on his way to hospital. Toronto Sun reports: Malaysian officials said Tuesday that Kim Jong Nam died en route to hospital after being approached by two female assassins at the Kuala Lumpur airport.
