Donald Trump says 'most likely' to meet North Korea's Kim again

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday he would “most likely” meet again with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, while defending his efforts to convince Pyongyang to give up its nuclear weapons.

In an interview with Reuters, Trump, who held a landmark summit with Kim on June 12, said he believed North Korea had taken specific steps toward denuclearization, despite widespread doubts about Kim’s willingness to abandon his arsenal.

While insisting that “a lot of good things are happening” with North Korea, Trump complained that China was not helping as much as it had in the past because of its trade dispute with the United States.

Trump, who faced the North Korean challenge as soon as he took office in January 2017, said he had only been working on the North Korean issue for three months whereas his predecessors had been working on it for 30 years.

I thought this was all over with? Little Donnie declared victory, Little Rocket Man was going to completely dismantle any nuclear capability "Best" Korea had, and the world was safe from two madmen ever blowing each other up. Is this to say that Little Donnie lied again?

I guess maybe his "instincts" aren't totally reliable? Everyone else in the world knew exactly what was going to happen but Little Donnie. Better get those "instincts" re-calibrated there, Little Donnie. Or maybe, and I know this is a crazy idea, listen to some people who actually know a few things about "Best" Korea and it's little Trump-like leader, Kim Jong-un. Just a suggestion, your assholiness.

We are the PRIME target! I'm not being blown up by nukes from NK yet. That's something. A year ago, people on this forum were talking about buying 'survival gear' for nuclear war. Did you buy some? The world is not falling apart! We just need to lean leadership in a different direction.

is not able to extract. I would not be surprised if this is why Putin and Dumbo are giving him attention. It’s all about GREED.

And the chinese have saved their ass numerous times and are the only ones who could ever keep Kim in reign. They sure as hell won't give the US anything.

Yeah, right, Mr. so called president...have another fake summit, play some golf (and don't let the bone spurs hurt your game).

Worthless, absolutely worthless.

The dishwasher down at the local diner would do a far better job of running the country than this piece of floating crap...
