Empty words from North Korea?
President Donald J. Trump's upcoming summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un will be an historic encounter between two supremely self-confident, headstrong, and mercurial men, each seeking the other's surrender, Evans J. R. Revere wrote recently on brookings.edu.
The irresistible force of Donald Trump, whose administration has declared it will never accept, allow or tolerate a North Korean nuclear threat to America, will soon meet the immovable object of a North Korean regime that has declared it will never give up its nuclear weapons "even in a dream." What could possibly go wrong, Revere asks.
President Trump agreed to the summit on a whim, surprising his advisers and the South Korean envoys who conveyed Kim Jong-un's invitation. Had he discussed the invitation with his advisers first, he would have heard that Kim's reported interest in a deal on "denuclearization of the whole Korean Peninsula" is nothing of the kind, Reveres wrote.
