Going to be interesting.
Lots of handshakes, makes promises, get on plane home then slag off Kim or say he got the deal then sod all happens?
They’ll be holding hands by Wednesday and making sweet love by Friday. A few billion to Kim and a stormy Daniels threesome. Job done. Going to be interesting.

Kim should take whatever deal is offered, give up his nukes/his pursuit of them, and then take a cut of all the $s that start flowing into North Korea before retiring to somewhere nice a multi billionaire (and before the Americans do a Gaddafi on him). Everyone wins.
He's a living god. why would he leave?the issue with these nukes, is that it doesn't matter if he has or hasn't got rid of them, and he knows this.
If he has, and he tells the world, look they're gone. No-one will believe him. If he is lying, no-one will believe him. Kim has so far walked this tightrope of nuclear MAD pretty well, (for his own benefit) therefore I don't think he's an idiot. Ergo, whilst it matters not if he actually has gotten rid of the nuke's. He doesn't really have to. The US so much as looks at NK wrong, he just has to hint they still have Nukes and the invasion is off.
All of this puts Trump is a really s
t situation. He has very little to bargain with. His big bargaining chip with NK is that he would pull the US out of SK. No way will he want this. But to stay there without a good reason will be expensive for the US. They will have to placate both NK and SK.As I have said before, a resolution to this situation is in the world's best interests, but not to the US's.

Didn't realise that they are in a room on their own, interpreters only. Have the South Koreans any say?
Heck, what happens if Mr T promises what South Korea cannot deliver.
Edit. Invite to the Mar el wotsit in Florida on the cards as well I reckon.
Interpreters and pie suppliers surely ?Heck, what happens if Mr T promises what South Korea cannot deliver.

If there is only Trump & Kim in the room (+ interpreters), given the recent "he said she said" a the G7 how can anyone trust what either of them say when they come out of the meeting. The only thing that will be believable will be if they both agree and say the same thing on exit which I find highly unlikely

It's believed when he follows through with what is contractually agreed. I'm being optimistic.Cobnapint said:

What a time to be alive - it would be quite something if all these loons can somehow strike a deal and make the region safer and better the lives of the average North Korean, something the serious politicians have failed at for decades.
