Here is a sharp analysis of the event in the UK's Guardian newspaper:
Donald Trump invited Kim Jong-un to US
Trump said: “Stepping across that line is a great honour. Great progress has been made, great friendships have been made and this has been, in particular, a great friendship.”
Followed by trilateral meeting between Kim, Trump and Moon
Trump later said he agreed with Kim to restart talks
Trump said he and Kim were “not looking for speed. We’re looking to get it right.”
He added: “We are going to have teams, they are going to meet over the next weeks, they are going to start a process and we will see what happens.”
sanctions remain in place, but willing to offer concessions
“At some point during the negotiation things can happen,” he said.
meeting originally supposed to be brief - lasted almost an hour
Kim said warming ties between US and North Korea
- Moon said even brief encounter between Trump Kim “would be significant milestone in the peace process on the Korean peninsula”.
- He said he could “really feel the flower of peace truly blossoming on Korean peninsula”.
- Moon was “overwhelmed” with emotion about the meeting at Panmunjom.
- He described Trump and Kim as “so brave”, adding: “I hope President Trump will go down in history as the president who achieves peace on the Korean peninsula.”
two leaders have exchanged a series of letters
Trump said “North and South Korea in much better places than 2 1/2 years ago"
“It’s day and night.”
“Lots of good things are happening with North Korea,” he said
repeated that US “would be at war with North Korea” if someone else in White House
My comments :
A friend of mine who is into Feng Shui says that Trump's 'Bazi' does not look good in 2020. Many people will be trying to "kill" off his political career. They may try to impeach him again. Because most certainly the war mongers and the Deep State totally dislike Trumps peace overtures to Iran and North Korea.
The latest was the Panmunjom meeting yesterday Sunday 30 June, 2019. It has become a day in history. The meeting was meant to be a brief photo op but turned out to be a full fledged summit between North Korea, South Korea and the United States that lasted almost an hour. They are being serious.
To me the biggest takeaway here is Kim's comment
Kim praised Trump for his extraordinary determination to pioneer a good future and liquidate a bad past, describing Trump as the first U.S. president to step into the DPRK territory.
You can hear this comment in the video above. Donald Trump is 73 years old and looks his age. At 35, Kim Jong Un is 38 years younger.
"Crazy old man is not going to leave me alone."
In an Asian culture that has regard for the elderly, Kim is impressed that a much older person and the president of the most powerful nation on earth is sincerely making such a huge effort to show so much respect for him and North Korea. Trump took a really big gamble to travel to Panmunjom at the DMZ.
Being the 'quick on his feet' Yankee, Trump has laid out a sort of time line for progress :
“We are going to have teams, they are going to meet over the next weeks, they are going to start a process and we will see what happens.”
More importantly Trump said he and Kim were “not looking for speed. We’re looking to get it right".
When both sides are willing to meet and be friends, something will be sorted out. Peace is good.
