At least President Trump understands that his mission is to obtain a deal helpful to the United States, rather than just obtain a deal that looks good in the democratic MSM, like Obama did. We want the NORKs denuclearized. We offered the NORKs an end to the embargo, a signed peace treaty to end the Korean War, a guarantee of survival of Kim and of his government, and maybe some investment to spiff up their disastrous economy. Apparently this ain't enough to get Kim to give up his nukes. I assume Kim feels that a good dozen working nukes is a better guarantee of his and his regime's survival than any amount of Yankee promises. Can't say that I disagree with Kim on this.
So, the NORKs made noises about keeping their nukes. And President Trump replied by cancelling the summit. Probably the right move. As of this morning the NORKs are making back off noises, and making lets do the summit anyhow noises.
Say tuned for further developments.
