《今日美国》是美国唯一的彩色版全国性对开日报，1982年9月15日创刊，总部设在弗吉尼亚州的罗斯林，属全美最大的甘尼特报团。该报团创办这份报纸的初衷是，虽然美国报纸之多，几乎达到平均2.15人就拥有一份报纸，而且许多报纸的影响遍及全国，乃至海外，但遗憾的是，它们的报道重点都是地区性的。随着美国社会、经济、文化的发展，国内旅游者和每天出差的公务人员日益增多，没有一张地方报纸能满足这些人全面了解有关整个美国的新闻、市场、金融、气象、娱乐、体育等方面内容的需求，人们为此感到十分苦恼，颇为不便。甘尼特报团的老板们及时发现并意识到了这一巨大的潜在的读者市场，便开始筹办起这份全国性的综合日报。

It’s hard to know how hard to worry. This week, Trump said he’d be honored to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un — only under certain preconditions, the White House hastened to add — and had a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Last week Trump said a “major, major conflict” with North Korea was possible. Asked on CBS’ Face the Nation whether the United States might use force to stop North Korea’s program, he said only, “We’ll see.’’
