Opinion: Why this North Korea summit will probably turn out like the last one
By Paul Waldman Paul Waldman Opinion writer covering politics Email Bio Follow Opinion writer February 26 at 5:00 PM With President Trump arriving in Vietnam for his second summit with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, one thing is for sure: Kim is benefiting mightily from the Trump era, if nothing else because the leader of the world’s most powerful country treats him like an equal and pours compliments down on him. The United States, on the other hand, may be a different story.
The two countries will declare a symbolic end to the Korean War; North Korea will return some more remains of U.S. soldiers; the two will establish liaison offices in each other’s countries; and “North Korea will agree to stop producing materials for nuclear bombs at its Yongbyon facility.” In exchange, they will get sanctions relief. But as always, the devil is in the details.
