Other Presidents have said no to North Korea even after the leaders of the two Koreas have met. He has few if any decent advisors in Foreign Affairs and certainly none that have any expertise on the Korean peninsular.
It puts the Korean murderers on an equal footing with the US President for a start.
After boasting he should get a nobel peace prize Trump then cancelled the meeting on the most specious of reasons. There have been a lot of humorous memes on Trump's woeful letter. It would have helped if Bolton and Spence had a little of of knowledge on the Korean situation but they have not apart from Bolton wanting to stop the meeting. ( His writings range from delusional to a outright absurd. Can anyone imagine what a new war bring?) Spence is simply an ignorant fool when it comes to anything on foreign affairs.
How come no-one there understands the first person you tell about breaking a meeting is the south Korea President.
The Korean murderer is more than a match for Trump in the PR stakes. Knowing the South Korean noses would be out of joint he met again with the South Korean President. This put Trump in an untenable position.
So now we have US officials trying again to organise a meeting.
The whole thing shows Trump and his 'team' are ignorant and really do not have much of a clue.
