When it comes to the war in Ukraine, President Trump finds common cause with the world’s outlier states and stands against traditional U.S. allies like Britain, France, Germany, Canada, Japan and Italy.

South Korea's spy agency says North Korea appears to have sent more troops to Russia, after its soldiers deployed on the Russian-Ukraine fronts suffered heavy casualties.
