From USA TODAY.

President Donald Trump is returning from a weeklong trip to Asia boasting of trade deals with China and South Korea to boost cooperation in the region but also having threatened to resume testing nuclear weapons after a decadeslong moratorium to keep pace with military rivals.

The second-term Republican’s trip to Malaysia, Japan and South Korea showcased numerous meetings with foreign leaders. The pageantry included Trump receiving another pledge of support for the Nobel Peace Prize from Japan’s new prime minister and the highest state honor with a gold crown from South Korea.

But the trip coincided with a federal government shutdown at home that will become the longest in history on Nov. 5. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-New York, called the trade negotiations over tariffs "a failure" on social media that hurt farmers and manufacturers. Trump responded on social media that the criticism was "almost treasonous!!!"
