Can India, Pakistan Learn From Trump-kim Summit?

However, in a sign Seoul may be open to suspending drills, South Korean President Moon Jae-in said on Thursday his government would need to be flexible when it came to applying military pressure on North Korea if it was honest about denuclearisation. He can now call me if he has any difficulty.

"Maybe Donald Trump is the kind of dry, deadpan humorist who does great material about how terrific dictators are - but if that's the case, he should wait until he retires as president to start breaking out that particular part of his act", Litt said. "Hey, he's the head of a country". But no one doubted Trump's capacity to totally annihilate all of North Korea given the "Big Button" the US President always carried with him that would set a thousand nuclear-tipped missiles into pre-planned action against the enemy. And I mean he is the strong head.

On whether Kim could be invited to the White House, Trump said he was open to the idea.

"He speaks and his people sit up at attention. I want my people to do the same". "You don't understand sarcasm".

Trump's initial response to North Korea's advancements in nuclear weapon and long-range missile tests was over the top.

Considering Trump has been known to irritate relationships with allies rather than calming tensions, it's no surprise the political pugilist didn't let the nuclear summit last week get in the way of taking a swing at our neighbors to the north, calling Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau "weak and dishonest".

The Post also notes that Trump was impressed with how "tough" the North Korean guards were, demonstrating further his affinity for the trappings of authoritarianism. In one of his tweets after the meeting, Trump said he proved his critics wrong and tweeted - 'We will be fine!' It does not detail how North Korea will "work toward complete denuclearization" or any sort of inspection process other countries can rely on to verify it is actually doing so, nor does it require the Kim regime to give up any of his nukes at any particular time.

The president took pains to defend himself from criticism that the agreement was too weak and that he had given Kim the legitimacy he sought by simply meeting with him.

Trump was also censured for returning the salute of a North Korean general, a sign of respect, in a video recently released by the North Korean government.

"Under the circumstances that we're negotiating a very comprehensive complete deal, I think it's inappropriate to be having war games", Trump told reporters at a press conference following the unprecedented June 12 summit. "Here's what we got, everything, point after point after point".

Trump met with Kim last Tuesday in Singapore, and has since hailed their summit, tweeting Wednesday that North Korea was "no longer a nuclear threat".

Trump held a summit with Kim last Tuesday in Singapore, marking the first time a sitting US president and North Korean leader met face to face.

The official predicted that if the leaders make a phone call, they will discuss how to implement the statement adopted in Singapore.
