Senators: Just sitting down with Kim Jong Un is progress

Published June 11, 2018 4:00am ET



Republican senators say if President Trump can sit and have a positive opening dialogue with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un next week, that’ll be enough to call it a success.

“I think the fact that meeting is occurring at all is the most surprising thing because I’m not sure any other president, certainly not any other conventional president, would be able to get the leader of North Korea to the table,” said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas. “So I don’t expect anything necessarily resolved immediately, but I hope it’s part of a process where we will see resolution of that threat.”
