TRUMP TALKS NORTH KOREA WITH CHINA, JAPAN
President Trump talked to Chinese President Xi Jinping and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe early Monday to discuss a strategy in dealing with North Korea. Xi told Trump that China strongly opposed North Korea’s nuclear weapons program and hoped “all parties will exercise restraint and avoid aggravating the situation.” Abe called North Korea’s nuclear and missile problem an “extremely serious threat.” Both leaders agreed to urge North Korea to refrain from provocative actions.

Congress returns to Washington this week to take on the now-familiar task of passing an 11th-hour spending bill to avert a government shutdown, with President Trump’s promised border wall emerging this time as the big sticking point between Democrats and Republicans. The deadline to avert a shutdown is Saturday, Trump's 100th day in office, which has increased pressure on the GOP-controlled Congress to also pass an ObamaCare repeal and replacement plan after failing to do so in March.

FRENCH ELECTION: CAN LE PEN FINISH THE JOB?
Did France just plug the dike on the crumbling European Union, or will it now crack wide open? It depends on who you think “won” Sunday’s first round of presidential elections. Like the Americans who voted to make Donald Trump president last November, a largely overlooked part of France wants to dethrone the traditional political system that has remained entrenched in power for decades.
