For Donald Trump, walking away was at least better than giving way
second date. When President Donald Trump first met Kim Jong Un in Singapore in June last year, their talks achieved very little except a change of mood. But it was enough for Mr Trump to claim that he had prevented war in Asia and that North Korea was “no longer a nuclear threat”.
Mr Trump also made clear that the disagreement was amicable. He expects more talks and more progress. He went out of his way to praise Mr Kim and to underline the economic potential of North Korea, if only it was prepared to surrender its arsenal and rejoin the world. It would be very Trumpian for the next overture to the North to come soon after this latest rebuff.
And yet, if denuclearisation really is the aim, the gulf looks unbridgeable. In Singapore, when the two sides agreed to a nuclear-free Korean peninsula, they meant different things. America expects the North to abandon its nuclear weapons in their entirety; the North insists that America withdraw the nuclear umbrella that protects South Korea as well as pull out its troops from the peninsula.
