Trump sticks with 'America First' foreign policy with North Korea

President Trump’s attention to international affairs and foreign policy has been focused on “America First;” canceling the scheduled meeting with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un was no exception. Trump referenced Kim’s “tremendous anger and open hostility” and described the summit’s cancellation as a “missed opportunity” and “a truly sad moment in history.”

Trump has been consistently firm that the meeting will be about America’s interests in denuclearization. As a negotiation tactic, Trump’s letter showing America’s willingness to walk away until North Korea is willing to work with America to achieve lasting peace and align our interests is responsible advocacy and brilliantly done.
