Days before summit, Trump raises prospect of easing North Korea sanctions
A week before a second summit with North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un, US President Donald Trump held out the prospect of an easing of tough sanctions on the country, but only if it does "something that's meaningful" on denuclearisation.
Speaking to reporters at the White House on Wednesday, Trump also said he expects to meet with Kim again after their Feb 27-28 summit in Hanoi, the Vietnamese capital.
Trump said he did not think North Korea was reluctant to denuclearize, in spite of a lack of concrete progress since he and Kim met for a first summit in Singapore in June.

Banglasdesh, meanwhile, said the teen has no claim to Bangladeshi nationality. Britain's Home Office had reportedly said that it believed Begum was entitled to claim citizenship there.
Samsung S10 phones jump on hole-punch camera, screen fingerprint sensor trends
Samsung has unveiled its flagship Galaxy S10 series to commemorate a decade since launching its first Galaxy S smartphone.
The Galaxy S10 series consists of the 5.8-inch S10e, 6.1-inch S10 and the 6.4-inch S10+. Design wise, they all might look like the previous S9 series. But the new S10 smartphones feature one of the latest industry design trends - the hole-punch camera display, where a tiny hole is made near the corner of the screen to accommodate the front camera.
This hole-punch design helps to reduce the borders around the display, which Samsung dubs the Infinity-O display.
