Negotiating with North Korea a waste of time
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un
Pyongyang - Muslimchronicle
US President Donald Trump said negotiating with North Korea over its nuclear program would be a waste of time Sunday after it emerged that Washington had channels of contact with Pyongyang.
"I told Rex Tillerson, our wonderful Secretary of State, that he is wasting his time trying to negotiate with Little Rocket Man," Trump wrote on Twitter, referring to North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un.
Speaking Saturday after a day of talks with China's President Xi Jinping and top diplomats, Tillerson said that US officials are in touch with Pyongyang despite an escalating war of words between Trump and Kim and the imposition of US-led sanctions.
Asked how he could know whether the North would even contemplate coming to the table, Tillerson told reporters: "We are probing, so stay tuned."
But the State Department later said that North Korea had shown no interest in such discussions and Trump wrote that he regarded any possible talks as futile.
"Save your energy Rex, we'll do what has to be done!"

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led his
