The Heat: Roundtable explores DPRK tensions and Trump's first 100 days

The standoff with the DPRK continues as the U.S. makes major moves to deploy its THAAD missile defense system to the Korean Peninsula. This week, U.S. President Trump sat down with the Reuters news agency and warned, “there’s a chance that we could end up having a major, major conflict with North Korea.”

To discuss the latest on the DPRK:

  • Tian Wei, host of CGTN’s World Insight.
  • Jenny Town, assistant director of the U.S.-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins University.

Donald Trump celebrates one hundred days in office, despite mixed reviews. Supporters of the U.S. president give him a 94 percent approval rating, according to a recent Washington Post/ABC poll. But his overall approval still hovers around 40 percent, indicating deep divisions among the American people. 

To discuss the Trump presidency so far:

  • Sonia Dridi,a journalist with France 24 and Europe One.
  • Lester Munson, vice president of international government affairs at the lobbying group, BGR.
