 Xi Jinping to visit North Korea for first time in nearly seven years as China seeks to reinforce ties with Pyongyang  BmChinese leader Xi Jinping is set to visit North Korea next week, marking his first trip to the country in nearly seven years as Beijing moves to strengthen ties with its nuclear-armed neighbor. The visit, announced by both countries, is scheduled as a two-day state trip beginning Monday. It comes as China seeks to reinforce its strategic influence in the region while North Korea continues expanding its relationships with other partners, including Russia. In recent years, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has deepened cooperation with Moscow, including sending troops and military equipment to support Russia’s war in Ukraine. At the same time, Pyongyang has also been working to repair and strengthen its relationship with Beijing, its largest trading partner and key source of economic support.

THE VIEW CO-HOST SUNNY HOSTIN ARGUES OTHER REPORTERS SHOULD’VE STOOD UP FOR KAITLAN COLLINS. (PHOTO).


 The View co-host Sunny Hostin argues other reporters should’ve stood up for Kaitlan Collins


The clash between Donald Trump and CNN’s Kaitlan Collins has reignited debate about sexism in political press briefings. During a June 3 White House event, Trump singled Collins out, calling her “a corrupt reporter” and criticizing her for supposedly never smiling. 


He went further, describing her as a “young beautiful woman” with “hatred in her eyes,” linking her demeanor to his policies on borders, taxes, and the military. 


Collins, who hadn’t even asked a question at that moment, calmly responded, “I’m still from Alabama,” after Trump claimed she had once been a conservative.


On The View, Sunny Hostin argued that Trump’s remarks were sexist, pointing out that men are never told to smile more. She shared her own experiences of being told to smile during her legal career, framing it as a double standard women often face. 


Hostin also criticized other reporters in the room for not intervening, suggesting that someone should have spoken up to defend Collins. Whoopi Goldberg echoed the sentiment, questioning Trump’s broader problem with women, while Hostin bluntly called him a misogynist.


Kara Swisher, however, disagreed, saying reporters should avoid reacting in such situations because it risks shifting the story away from the subject and onto the journalists themselves. 


She praised Collins for not taking the bait, noting that Trump benefits when reporters engage with his attacks. 


The exchange highlights a larger debate in journalism: whether colleagues should confront public figures when one of their own is targeted, or whether restraint better serves the integrity of reporting.
