Trump seeks new momentum with pivot to foreign policy

Trump who has been embroiled in one of the most difficult stretches of his presidency, has a chance to win some positive headlines and build some new momentum in the coming weeks on foreign policy.

Trump is set to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un next week in a sequel to one of the high marks of his time in office so far, his historic meeting with Kim in Singapore last June.

Separately, Trump faces a March 1 deadline to reach a deal with China in trade talks, or tariffs on imports from China will escalate — threatening to increase tensions between the two sides.

On yet another front, Trump is pressing Venezuela's government to end its embargo on Western aid from entering the country, giving the White House an opportunity to go on offense on the world stage.

A change in the news cycle would be welcome to Trump, who began the year with a prolonged partial government shutdown that delayed his State of the Union address and sunk his approval rating.
