President Trump declared on Wednesday that he would scrap a planned summit meeting with North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un, or even walk out of the session while it was underway, if his diplomatic overture was not heading toward success.
Mr. Trump continued to express optimism — verging on eagerness — about sitting down with the North’s reclusive leader. But as the momentum for a meeting grows in both Washington and East Asia, the president acknowledged that it was a perilous undertaking that could still end in failure.
“If I think that it’s a meeting that is not going to be fruitful, we’re not going to go,” Mr. Trump said at a news conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, standing alongside Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of Japan. “If the meeting, when I’m there, is not fruitful, I will respectfully leave the meeting.”

He is willing to go, in the interest of peace and defending the US, but only if NK is serious and is not just trying to play games with the US.
Leave it to the NYT to write an intentionally misleading headline.
And if a momentous deal comes about, the Times will shout far and wide what a great diplomat the commie dictator is
If a reconciliation and plan forward between the Koreas can happen, that is a huge blow the China’s communist regime.
That is not the way Madelune Albright would have approached negotiations. /S
LOL
Reykjavik.
Deal has already been done. This is kabuki theatre for the masses.

I’m thinking that the talks with the NORKS
will be in Switzerland because the little fat boy went to school there.
Yup. Even if Trump saved the planet from an asteroid, he’ll still be scum to the leftard loons.
It’s not that hard really.
Where do our ships land to carry away your nuclear program?
They should give us back the USS Pueblo as a token of their sincerity.
If NK and SK reunite, or maintain close ties and end the stalemate that has existed since 1953, it would arguably be the greatest foreign policy achievement since President Polk negotiated the Oregon Territory with Great Britain.
I was going to post a vanity on this, but decided not to hog JimRob's bandwidth and leave it on an existing thread. Donald Trump, assuming if he can get NK to the negotiating table and they bargain in good faith and are sincere, would even surpass The Gipper in terms of Presidential hierarchy.
“Yup. Even if Trump saved the planet from an asteroid, he’ll still be scum to the leftard loons.”
Well, his anti-global warming stance did cause it, you know!
haha as long as he makes the snowflakes cut their wrists, I’m alright with that LOL
“Deal has already been done. This is kabuki theatre for the masses.”
Based on Pompeo’s visit; I’d have to agree. However, North Korea could try to back out and President Trump is giving notice.
He’s absolutely awesome.
You’re so mean!
“Waaaah, we’re suicidal!”
“Here, have a razor blade!”
lol
Good. If you aren't willing to walk away, you aren't negotiating.
