"I have very good relationships with Kim Jong UN, North Korea," Trump told reporters at the White House Monday. "I mean, a lot of people would say, 'Oh, that's terrible.' No, it's good. In fact, someday I'll see him. I look forward to seeing him. He was very good with me. We had two meeting — we had two summits. We got along great."
Although the current Trump administration has signaled ongoing interest in renewing denuclearization talks with North Korea, Pyongyang has not shown interest in denuclearizing.
Trump disclosed that he plans to seek the death penalty in Washington for those convicted of murder as he continues his crime crackdown in the nation’s capital.
"If somebody kills somebody in the capital, Washington, D.C., we're going to be seeking the death penalty," Trump told reporters during a Tuesday Cabinet meeting. "And that's a very strong preventative. And everybody that's heard it agrees with it. I don't know if we're ready for it in this country, but we have it. … We have no choice."
The Supreme Court ruled in 1972 in Furman v. Georgia that the death penalty violated the Eighth Amendment's provision barring cruel and unusual punishment. Additionally, the D.C. Council officially rescinded the death penalty in 1981, according to the nonprofit organization the Death Penalty Information Center.

Later Tuesday, Cracker Barrel announced that it had listened to customers and that the new logo was "going away" and the previous one that had been in place since 1977 would remain.
The White House appeared to take credit for igniting the change, and White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt posted on X, "8 hours ago…" with a screenshot of Trump’s original social media post, in response to Cracker Barrel’s update about reverting to the previous logo.
"Congratulations ‘Cracker Barrel’ on changing your logo back to what it was. All of your fans very much appreciate it," Trump said in a subsequent social media post Tuesday.
