Like we really need the Norks. The Sorks need them more. Even Japan would have some use for them given the 1 million+ ethnic Koreans they don’t care to acknowledge as citizens.

[ArtDodger]

Hmmm. Sounds great but I wonder if China would prefer things between the USA and NK to be less friendly. And if so, what would they do to throttle this new friendship?

[bert]

I’d bet a better investment would be Hyundai.

[BipolarBob]

Oh boy I can’t wait to invest in a communistic atheistic country ran by a madman. I just can’t wait, I tell ya’.

[MNJohnnie]

Meaningless. Just a bargining chip that puts all the work on the backs the NKs.

Empty promises from us that require real verifiable action from them. “we will allow” does not mean the same thing as “we will do”.

[GreatRoad]

I thought we were done nation bldg and investing in America first?

[Awgie]

I trust Trump more than all the back seat driving Monday morning QB apostles of doom, spewing negativity on FR. MAGA in spite of the naysayers and narcissists who think they should be in charge.

[SandRat]

In Kim Un’s own words, pay off the Generals.

[Proud White Trump Supporter]

North Koreans are going to get bloated eating so much American fast food over there.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

When China opened Shenzhens free trade zone, Taiwanese businesses were the first to invest and open businesses. I suspect the same will be true for NK, which is a good thing.

Lil Kim is in his 30’s. He faces threats from his generals, his people, and the international community. He needs a deal to live into his 40’s.

Patience. This could be a huge carrot. I helped start the very first Western factories built in China shortly after Nixon “opened” China up. The 40 year transformation since then is astounding. We could be on the cusp of the start of the same transformation in NORKlandia.

Venezuela?

[shanover]

Nobody thought we would be trading with Vietnam and have a U.S President visit the country with Vietnamese waving American flags. A unified Korea could be a great thing for America and the region. Screw the Chicoms.

[aimhigh]

Before opening trade, I’d want to see some human rights.

[Reily]

This I just the pre-meeting butter.

[HarleyD]

They could make plastic bottle caps in exchange for dismantling their nuke program. Sound equable.

[Fungi]

The goal should be reunification, in which case little rocket man would be gone, and the south will bear the cost of reunification. The US should should not give a penny, look at at the cost of military protection since the Korean war.

[odawg]

I saw Chris Wallace this morning, and I could tell he had a burden on his heart about human rights violation in North Korea and whether or not the United States would recognize Rocket Man’s continuance in power. Wallace is not alone.

I don’t really remember commentators saying anything close to that regarding the nuclear deal Obama made with Iran.

[Oatka]

“help build out the energy grid that needs enormous amounts of electricity in North Korea”.

They're not kidding. The classic satellite shot of the Koreas:
