'The potential is awesome, a great opportunity, like almost none other in history, for my friend Kim Jong-un.' US President Donald Trump says as he meets North Korea leader Kim
US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un sit down for a dinner during the second US-North Korea summit at the Metropole Hotel in Hanoi, Vietnam, February 27, 2019.
"There have been efforts, whether out of hostility or not, to block the path that we intend to take," he said. "But we have overcome all these and walked toward each other again and we've now reached Hanoi after 261 days" since their first meeting in Singapore. Skeptics insist Trump must first get real progress on the North abandoning its nuclear weapons before giving away important negotiating leverage.
As Trump reached for a summit victory abroad, back in Washington his former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, was prepared to deliver an explosive testimony on Capitol Hill that the president is a "racist," a "conman" and a "cheat." Trump has been trying to convince Kim that his nation could thrive economically like the host country, Vietnam, if he would end his nuclear weapons program.
Trump and Kim first met last June in Singapore, a summit that was long on historic pageantry but short on any enforceable agreements for North Korea to give up its nuclear arsenal. North Korea has spent decades, at great economic sacrifice, building its nuclear program, and there are doubts that it will give away that program without getting something substantial from the US.
