SEOUL http://www.philadelphiaflyersteamstore.com/adidas-jori-lehtera-jersey , Aug. 18 (Xinhua) -- Global crediting rating agency Standard & Poor's on Friday affirmed the long-term sovereign credit rating of South Korea at AA with a ""stable"" outlook.


""Although geopolitical tensions have risen of late in the Korean Peninsula, we believe a direct armed conflict is unlikely,"" the credit appraiser said in a statement.


The statement said geopolitical risks on the peninsula would not escalate over the next two years beyond what it had seen.


Tensions had run high on the Korean Peninsula over the past weeks following the series of war of words between the United States and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).


The tensions de-escalated recently after U.S. President Donald Trump praised top DPRK leader Kim Jong Un for his decision to delay the threatened missile strike on the waters off the U.S. island of Guam in the Pacific.


S&P said it would lower South Korea's credit rating if geopolitical tensions related to the DPRK escalate to a point that affects the country's economic, fiscal or external performance.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26 (Xinhua) -- At a time of deep divisions between U.S. President Donald Trump and his own party, the split picked up steam this week, fueled by a spat between Trump and a leading GOP senator.


Tensions began to simmer last week http://www.philadelphiaflyersteamstore.com/adidas-dustin-tokarski-jersey , when Senator John McCain, who was the Republican nominee for the 2008 U.S. presidential election, refused to back Trump's healthcare legislation, which would have repealed and replaced the previous administration's healthcare overhaul known as Obamacare. As a result, Trump's legislation derailed.


In response http://www.philadelphiaflyersteamstore.com/adidas-dave-schultz-jersey , the fuming president on Monday night tweeted out a video that showed McCain speaking against Obamacare over the past several years. Trump tweeted that he was sending out "A few of the many clips of John McCain talking about Repealing & Replacing O'Care."


"My oh my has he changed-complete turn from years of talk," Trump wrote on Twitter.


In a separate attack, Trump on Monday said McCain's "no" vote on his healthcare bill was a "slap in the face" to Republicans. GOP lawmaker Lindsey Graham on Monday also jumped into the brouhaha, defending McCain against Trump's blistering remarks.


DEEPENING DIVISIONS AMONG REPUBLICANS


The attacks highlight the ongoing problems between Trump and establishment Republicans, which began during his 2016 presidential campaign http://www.philadelphiaflyersteamstore.com/adidas-dale-weise-jersey , with much of the party turned off by Trump's controversial rhetoric, and what many in Congress see as his unpredictability.


As for Trump, the president believes he cannot rely on his own party. That distrust led him earlier this month to make a deal with the opposition party - to the chagrin of .
