Hello! Here’s what’s happening on Wednesday.
1. White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders says she “can’t guarantee” that we’ll never hear a recording of Trump saying the N-word. Former White House senior adviser Omarosa Manigault Newman wrote about the tape in her new explosive memoir “Unhinged.”
2. UK Prime Minister Theresa May may be considering a plan to register 3 million EU citizens “alphabetically.“ Alternative plans to register applicants sector by sector, or by geographical region, are considered politically sensitive.
3. South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in said plans to build a railway across the Korean peninsula will kick off this year. A third summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Moon is planned for September.
