We haven't offered him food aid or planeloads of cash
But he meets with the Prez of SoKo and then Pompeo and suddenly its puppy dogs and unicorns

If we can get some kind of verification regime in place then that would be a big deal, but I'm not holding my breath
Or maybe Kim just wants a visa so he can attend NBA games?

Kim Jong Un was in China a few weeks ago
and that was the end of his charade - China has had enough of his sh!t

That’s the most logical answer.
I wonder why China suddenly decided to rein him in?

So Xi could pick Drumpf’s pocket over the Spratlys!
“Molten Bolton” must be seething! Another good war gone to waste!

Trump is probing to see whether we can re enter the TPP
Doing that and giving China room on the Paracel and Spratly Islands are not compatible
he cant do both

Was reading that Trump had been working on enough bilateral trade agreements and such that he was putting the screws to China.
Getting NoKo to give up nukes was how China was going to get some relief and that allows China to save face.
Don't know how accurate the site was, but they called it a couple weeks before it happened.
Economic pressure on China.

Wut? The same guy who launched those stupid tariffs is angling for a new trade deal? That’s not 3-D chess...that’s “significant scatter”

Alls I'm saying is that the idea is being explored. He asked a cabinet member to look into what a revisiting of the TPP would look like, I don't remember who
And yeah - thats pretty typical Trump isnt it? In a year he'll be asking for single payer health care
But rest assured - if we're considering a multilateral with ASEAN then relaxing on the S China Sea would be a deal breaker for just about everybody involved
