The roundup highlights seven recent stories in global relations, including President Donald Trump’s stated plan to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong-un later this year.
Trump cited his good relationship with Kim, although Pyongyang denied that the two leaders were in direct communication.
Another featured story concerns China’s continuing anti-corruption campaign in the People’s Liberation Army Rocket Force. Chinese authorities called for public reports of suspected procurement violations involving the strategic missile branch.
The roundup also examines new U.S. restrictions on mailed ballots that took effect in August. State and local election officials were racing to comply with the rules or persuade a federal judge to intervene weeks before millions of ballots were due to be sent ahead of November’s midterm elections.
