The biggest consequence of Trump’s push for talks with North Korea and Kim Jong Un may not be the potential for peace but instead his willingness to make concessions and potentially erode Washington’s relationship with Seoul, something that would have deep reverberations far beyond the Korean Peninsula.
Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori, the son of immigrants from Kumamoto Prefecture, ruled the South American nation with an iron fist in the 1990s before his fall from power and exile to Japan.
Now his daughter is set to become Peru’s next president.
Shady job postings on Japanese social media advertise easy money for easy work. The grisly murder of an elderly woman in Tochigi Prefecture and the identities of the alleged killers show how dark these “dark part-time jobs” really are.
No, that’s not your high school music teacher reliving the glory days of her Creed cover band, that’s Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae having a cooooool K-pop jam sesh with the South Korean president.
