Body of Kim Jong Nam headed back to North Korea

The body of Kim Jong Nam, the slain half-brother of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, is expected to arrive Friday in North Korea, a day after it was released by Malaysia. Kim Jong Nam was assassinated in a bizarre confrontation at Kuala Lumpur International Airport on Feb. 13. Malaysian authorities say two women smeared Kim's face with the banned VX nerve agent. The women told authorities they were duped into believing they were part of a reality TV show. The Malaysian investigation soon targeted North Korea, which denied involvement. An international confrontation ensued, which appeared to end with Malaysia's release of the body.

President Trump to sign two orders on trade

President Trump will sign two executive orders targeting the trade deficit on Friday, asking for a detailed report on trade barriers by country and industry and targeting trade agreements, intellectual property theft and $2.8 billion in unpaid anti-dumping fines and countervailing duties.  The orders come a week before President Trump’s meeting with Chinese president Xi Jinping  in Mar-a-Lago . Even though China is the largest source of the trade deficit and the biggest offender on dumping, administration officials say it’s not about any one country.  The actions Trump will take Friday won't target China as a currency manipulator, but will instead look at "currency misalignment," not manipulation. " .
