Why Trump shouldn't smile about the North Korea summit

Predictably, the summit between Kim Jong Un and President Trump is back on. That’s good news and Trump deserves credit for getting us here. Still, the president cannot afford to bask in false glory. If peace was won by summits alone, it would be Neville Chamberlain and not Winston Churchill whose name finds reverence in our ears.

Trump’s first cause for caution is the North Korean representative who was sent to meet him at the White House on Friday. After all, Kim Yong Chol is a manipulator, not an ally of peace. His presence signals that as the summit approaches the North Koreans will work with the Chinese to move Trump to their agenda.
