Trump-Kim Meeting - Too Soon to Judge

The devil they say is in the details, and if you look at them over the meeting you realize that not much progress was achieved as far as the denuclearization of North Korea. Critics lash on this to point out the lack of concessions of any kind on the part of the North Koreans during the meeting, going as far as to simply label the entire meet a mere publicity stunt.

Yes it was a publicity stunt, but a very important one with promising leads. The very symbolic nature of the summit lays a solid foundation for negotiations which are not just more imaginable now, but better understood for cutting a good deal that sees the US putting a stop to the nuclear program without concessioning too much.

Already, there have been outspoken party members who have heavily criticized the process With a threat to stop any deal that gets to the house from being passed. It is this sort of political theatrics that makes it very difficult to ascertain the motives of politicians - whether it is actually serving conceited interests that is now considered representation.

Right now we need to build on the foundation laid from the summit and continue engagement with an eye towards lasting peace that doesn't hurt our interests.
