Trump Holds Summit With South Korea's Lee; Trump Signs Executive Orders Aimed at Ending Cashless Bail

President Donald Trump hosted South Korean President Lee Jae Myung in Washington for their first summit on Monday. Lee’s visit follows a recent trade deal that lowered U.S. tariffs on South Korean goods. Experts say the talks will likely focus on trade and military ties, with Washington pressing Seoul to pay more toward the cost of American forces stationed on the Korean peninsula.

President Donald Trump signed two executive orders on Monday aimed at eliminating cashless bail, along with another order adding specialized law enforcement units to executive agencies in Washington. The executive orders came two weeks after Trump’s federal takeover of Washington’s Metropolitan Police Department and his activation of the National Guard in the city to fight crime.
