There is a reason President Trump agreed to meet Kim in Singapore. Singapore is a small Asian country that doesn't have nuclear weapons, yet lives in peace with its neighbors. It is as modern and wealthy as any country. Singapore today is what North Korea can be tomorrow. Kim was given time to tour the city and gardens. He had plenty of time to look at Singapore and let the question sink in, why can't this be North Korea?

Look at South Korea.

Also North Korea used to be known as “Jerusalem of the East” by Christian missionaries including members of Billy Graham’s family.

Here is more on the “Graham Family Legacy”

At the conclusion of her six-day visit in 1997, Mrs. Graham summarized her experience as one of the true highlights of her life. “Almost nothing remains from my school days here during the 1930s,” she said to her hosts. “But two things have not changed: the beauty of the two rivers that flow through the city of Pyongyang and the warmth and hospitality of the people.”

Ironically, what is now the North Korean capital city of Pyongyang was – a century earlier – such a hotbed of Christian activity that it was known as the 'Jerusalem of the East'. Though Christians remained a small minority of the overall North Korean population, Pyongyang was a different story, and at its high point, three out of 10 people there were practising Christians. More than 2,000 and possibly as many as 3,000 churches were built in the region. 'Crosses dotted the Pyongyang skyline' and downtown street preachers would shout, 'Believe in Jesus and go to heaven', as Hyun Sook Foley says in his article, 'The Jerusalem of the East', in Christian History magazine.

Exactly.

Mr. Kim:
There are two possibilities for your people.

One is the continuance of living in the past and a barely agrarian society.

The other is prosperity they have never known and a nation of real agents of change, who continue to improve their lives and contribute to mankind world wide.
