"The US House of Representatives has passed a resolution to formally proceed with the impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump.

The measure details how the inquiry will move into a more public phase. It was not a vote on whether the president should be removed from office.

This was the first test of support in the Democratic-controlled House for the impeachment process.

The White House condemned the vote, which passed along party lines.

Only two Democrats - representing districts that Mr Trump won handily in 2016 - voted against the resolution, along with all Republicans, for a total count of 232 in favour and 196 against."

    Kim Jong Un has played Trump, getting concessions without receiving anything in return. Or did you miss the North Korean submarine missile launches ? Or the last two missiles off the coast of Japan?

    Trump keeps sucking up to the guy, same as he does to other dictators. He's jealous.

    Kim Jong Un is Xi's puppet. If these missile tests were not authorized that is China's problem. If they were, then whatever blame is deserved lies with China.
