Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard told Fox News on Wednesday evening that the Trump administration was "directly undermining" its own attempts to get North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons by pursuing "regime change" in countries like Venezuela and Iran. This is not something that can happen overnight, but it begins with ending our regime change wars in other countries [and] ending our regime change efforts as we are seeing in these countries like Venezuela and Iran." Gabbard spoke to Fox News shortly after North Korea announced that it had test-fired a "new-type tactical guided weapon." The totalitarian country has not tested a ballistic missile since November 2017 and U.S. officials told Fox News that Wednesday's exercise likely was a "short-range" test of a small guided weapon. "However, this administration is undermining their own efforts by ... making it so they've got no credibility as they are trying to barter and negotiate with North Korea and get them to denuclearize."
