Syria's President Assad 'to visit North Korea' by Jesus Ponce

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad plans to make a state visit to North Korea. This will be the first time North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has hosted a head of state since assuming power in 2011.

He has been quite active since lately. In May he met with China's president. BBC reports state that both countries have been accused of co-operating on chemical weapons. But both nations deny the accusations.

I'm assuming the visit makes Trump quite uneasy. He is not a fan of both countries, and I'm almost certain he'll make a comment on the visit soon enough. The visit should be taken into consideration since the summit between North Korea and the US is back on.

The date has not been set, but the US will keep a close eye on it. I'm sure Trump really wants to know what's going on.
