WNU Editor: No one said this was going to be easy. On a positive note. Both leaders remain optimistic, and they are still continuing to look for common ground. My prediction is that another summit will happen, and it will be in the fall.

DJT is being set up for another disappointment. He wants Korea to give up its nukes and the world and Kim know it would be stupid to give the nukes up.
No missiles, no shelling and much less overall belligerence since October 2017. That in itself is a success.
What a waste of time, it has achieved nothing but buy Kim time. Does anyone seriously beleive he has stopped work on his nukes.
Fazman,
He has not stopped work. He might have for am month ... maybe.
But given him time? The sanction are still on.
The sanction are still on Venezuela and North Korea and we will see if China and Russia can float both or has to prioritize.
This is how negotiations go. We ARE in a much better spot with NK then before. I.e. We have not given him things (food and cash) with the assumption he would act in good faith.

When Trump met Kim face to face he gave him and NK international status. That alone was a huge gain for Kim, but Trump got absolutely nothing in return because he demand everything. He failed miserably. If he goes to the next meeting empty handed but for demands again he will reap failure. There is no way NK will give up the nukes, that they most likely believe held the US off, and that unfortunately for Trump that is the only measure of success.
Cash no, but if Trump had given even a little bit of, say food, it would have accomplished something. He missed the opportunity boat again when China stopped buying the soy beans he could have sent over tons of the stuff that just going to rot.
North Korea already had international status
They are member of the UN.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Security_Council_Resolution_702
They are recognized by world powers like China and Russia. They trade with several countries. So they were already recognized.
Bob, I see the rotting soybeans outside my window everyday. They smell is really, really bad. I would see the trotting soybeans today, but it snowed on April the 14th. So much for global warming. Been waiting 30 years and still snows in April.
A few soybeans rot. It'll hurt some. It will hurt in China when their food prices go up. When China plays hard ball and the US plays hardball China gets hurt too. Brasil is a longer way to ship.
What kept The US out of North Korea, was an armistice, US domestic politics, Russia and China. The US was out of North Korea for almost 50 years before North Korea had nukes. So much for the theories of an anti-western complainer.
I don;t think Kim is an honest broker.. he let the second one fail on purpose, then blamed - as always - internal people, had them fired (perhaps also fired upon) and will try to delay further in the third meeting, maybe give up another test site.. meanwhile they have now more than 60 nukes and likely will dig in more.
North Korea will only change once China tells it to take its finger of the nuclear trigger, with its cross-hairs aiming at the US.
That's what it feels like, at least.. not sure where you stand, but everything from the rocket fuel, to the mobile missile launchers, was provided by the Chinese - despite sanctions. They helped arm North Korea, they helped them get around many other sanctions.. come on..
