The U.S., North Korea and Vietnam, all deeply involved in the 20th century's Cold War, may now contribute to ending its last active conflict once and for all.
President Donald Trump and North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong Un have arrived in the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi, where will they bring their countries together in an attempt to once and for all put an end to the first and most enduring conflict of the Cold War.The meeting—only the second of its kind in history—follows up the landmark Singapore summit in June 2018.
Getty Images Vietnam, the venue for one of the U.S.'s most resounding 20th-century defeats at the hands of socialist forces that—like the Korean War—once brought together an uncomfortable communist alliance of China, North Korea and the Soviet Union, now stands as a rare beacon of hope that two of the most bitter ideological foes of the post-World War II period may reverse course.
Getty Images Terry Roehrig, a professor at the Naval War College, also floated the idea of the U.S. approving South Korea repealing its sanctions, or even granting Seoul a potential exemption to sanctions drawn up by Washington, as an end of war declaration, something he said that is"largely going to be a political gesture," but"it addresses that security concern" that Kim has about potential U.S. aggression.
