The Insiders: June 17th Edition, U.S. Relationship With North Korea
Since the summit, Trump has boasted about his meeting with Kim in unrealistic terms, claiming he’d solved the North Korean nuclear issue and “everybody can now feel much safer than the day I took office”.
“I read the statement and it’s hard for me to see if something was actually agreed to or not”, Corker said. “He saluted me. I saluted him back”, Trump said. “He’s the head of a country”. But Bret Baier actually wanted to know a little bit about that, so he did the right thing by asking Donald Trump about this atrocities committed by Kim Jong Un, and this is what Trump had to say to that question. Don’t let anyone think anything different.

And Friday, the president told Fox & Friends, “He’s the head of a country – and I mean he’s the strong head. He got an equally broad security commitment from the United States, very vague”, Rice said on CNN’s “Fareed Zakaria GPS”.
On Tuesday, Trump told reporters in Singapore that the “war games” were a thing of the past.
“You are about to see something on the Fox News that has never happened, we believe, in the history of White House reporting”, reporter Steve Doocy said live on air.
Either way, the world has become a scary, scary place when our president has positive words to say about a dictator AND notes that he would like to emulate said dictator.
Trump didn’t stop there.
“Anyone can make war, but only the most courageous can make peace”, the U.S. president said.
“Kim Jong-un must have won a number of major concessions from Trump in other sectors in return for destroying such a major facility”, the source continued.
That’s just the tip of the iceberg.
According to a USA government study in 2011 released by the Washington-based think tank Institute for Science and International Security, the United States estimated it would take about two and a half years for the North’s denuclearization, with the first month to be spent for producing a list of the North’s uranium enrichment facilities and suspending related facilities. There are forced labor camps.
“The denuclearisation deal with North Korea is being praised and celebrated all over Asia”, said the USA president.
The president also spoke in the interview about the economic sanctions on Pyongyang, which were ramped up a year ago in response to North Korea’s testing of intercontinental ballistic missiles and its sixth nuclear weapons test.

The Global Times, an influential Chinese state-run newspaper, said in an editorial that the time was right to consider “an appropriate reduction of the sanctions” against North Korea. There is only one Internet.
The poll also found Trump’s overall approval rating at 43%, a marked improvement from the end of 2017, when polls regularly found him at historically low levels of approval. Kim underlines the point by publicly executing his own cabinet officials who don’t pay enough deference to him in cabinet meetings.
Referencing that remark, Reid asked Schwartz about Trump’s praise of Kim Jong Un including going so far as to call Kim a “smart guy”.
One Trump critic, Senate Democratic leader Charles Schumer, mangled an American idiom and inadvertently praised Trump, saying that the summit was “all cattle and no hat”, meaning substantive and no talk, instead of the opposite, correct phrasing, he meant to say, “all hat and no cattle”.
