Trump intends to meet one-on-one with Kim Jong Un at beginning of June 12 summit with no aides




SCOOP: Trump intends to meet one-on-one with Kim Jong Un at beginning of June 12 summit.

Trump and Kim will be joined later by their closest aides, including Mike Pompeo and John Bolton (despite Kim’s dislike for Bolton).

Getting his orders handed directly from Putin through Kim......

We have much to fear with this summit. Trump saying he needs not to prepare for this meeting, needs not know of the history of the Korean peninsula, etc. That he will rely on his gut and attitude?

Vladimir Putin is waiting in the wings for Trump to deliver the United States to him on a silver platter. Russia is North Korea's prime ally, as is China. Our troop numbers in the region, Okinowa, and on Guam are not negotiation fodder.

Let's see if Trump crosses his arms with Kim Jong Un like he did with Angela Merkel. Arms not crossed will mean Trump sold us out.

I'm 99% sure this one-on-one-with-translators talk won't be part of it. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if, like the Inter-Korea summit, the only televised part would be any joint declaration at the end with a few photos of the parts outside of it.

Didn't he say he could size a man up within the first minute? That he'd know whether he could work with him on making deals?

Well, as for Kim's size, he's about a foot shorter than Trump. As to making deals, I think pulling out of the G7 Communique after agreeing to it tells Kim how trustworthy IQ45 is.
