FOX News: Trump says he'll 'respectfully leave' Kim Jong Un summit if talks are 'not fruitful'
President Trump told reporters Wednesday he would not hesitate to walk out of a planned summit meeting with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un "if I think it's a meeting that is not going to be fruitful."
"I hope to have a very successful meeting," Trump said at a joint news conference alongside Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. "If we don't think it's going to be successful, we won't have it. If I think it's a meeting that is not going to be fruitful, we're not going to go. If the meeting when I’m there is not fruitful, I will respectfully leave the meeting."
The president spoke one day after it was revealed that CIA Director Mike Pompeo had met with Kim over Easter weekend in an effort to lay the groundwork for the prospective meeting with the American president, which Trump has said could take place by early June.

WNU Editor: I expect next week's summit between North and South Korea will be successful .... as well as the meeting between President Trump and North Korean Kim Jung-Un. It is in everyone's interest to come to an understanding that will lay the groundwork for future agreements and reconciliation. The big losers will be the South Korean taxpayers. I predict that they will be forking over tens of billions of dollars to make all of this work, and even more in the future if all of this works out. But is it worth it? If it brings a final peace to the Korean peninsula a few decades from now .... I would say definitely yes.

Just imagine.. president trump And Kim Jong un sharing a noble peace prize.... CNN would just love that lol
I don't see trump having the patience, disarm and dismantle and inspect now.
The South Korean taxpayers may "lose" in the current situation. Tney have been HUGE winners over many decades as America has served them as their chumps while our military acted as the military arm of their foreign policy. Maybe, just maybe, this is finally coming to an end.
Nope...not coming to an end for some time to come...think Japan...think China (and of course you think Russia)
North Korea wants total denuclearisation, says Seoul
"Nope...not coming to an end for some time to come..." The current situation simply has to. We simply cannot afford the burden of this nor is it equitable to place this kind of burden on the American people.
While the deployments may not "end" per say, the nature of this does need to be renegotiated with a larger emphasis on these countries and a lesser contribution by America. I think we will get this done. Already this is bearing fruit in the Korean situation. South Korea recognizing the US would not serve as its chump forever decided that maybe forging some kind of workable peace with the North is in their interests.
