June 30, 2019President Trump announced Sunday that Washington and Pyongyang will restart nuclear talks. Trump met North Korean ruler Kim Jong Un in the demilitarized zone, then crossed the 1953 armistice line separating North and South Korea, making him the first sitting U.S. president to enter North Korea.
“Stepping across that line was a great honor,” Trump said, later adding that it was “something incredible.”
Trump deemed the meeting a victory, announcing that nuclear talks would resume “within weeks” and that the two countries were designating teams of officials to take the lead.
He even invited Kim, who rarely leaves the country, to visit him at the White House.
This was Trump and Kim’s third meeting, but they have not yet reached a nuclear deal. Trump said they are looking to “get it right,” not speed, in making a deal.
Kim expressed surprise at the meeting, telling Trump he never expected to see him in the demilitarized zone. It seems Trump hopes that meeting Kim on his turf, even briefly, will lead to some goodwill from the dictator.
However, national security talks worry that such a meeting will boost Kim domestically and provide room for furthering stalling while the country moves ahead with its nuclear program.
We’ll see what, if anything, comes from the continued meetings between Trump and Kim.
