特朗普指责班农失去理智

This is AP News Minute.

President Donald Trump¹ is blasting Steve Bannon, his former chief strategist, ahead of the release of a new book called Fire and Fury. The book quotes Bannon describing a Trump Tower meeting between Donald Trump Jr. and a group of Russians as "treasonous" and "unpatriotic". Trump said in a statement that when Bannon was fired from the White House last year, "he not only lost his job, he lost his mind."

Former democratic vice³ presidents Joe Biden and Fritz Mondale stood beside the newest members of the US Senate, as Alabama democrat² Doug Jones, and Minnesota democrat Tina Smith took the oath of office, administered by Vice President Mike Pence. The GOP control of the upper chamber⁴ is now narrower than it was just weeks ago.

The UN is welcoming the reopening of a key communications channel between North and South Korea. Pyongyang has reopened the border communication link between the two countries for the first time in nearly two years.

A brutal⁵ winter storm is marching up the east coast, hitting southern cities with a rare blast of snow and sleet⁶. Forecasters are warning the storm system could become more severe as it moves up the eastern seaboard.

Ned Barker, is at the Associated Press, with AP News Minute.
