3. Reaffirming the April 27, 2018 Panmunjom Declaration, the DPRK commits to work toward complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula
4. The United States and the DPRK commit to recovering POW/MIA remains, including the immediate repatriation of those already identified.
we're supposed to be wowed by the dealmaker showman who put that deal together?  |
I wouldn't say "wowed".
I'm pretty sure I've never been "wowed" by ANYTHING that any President ever did (maybe Reagan meeting with Gorbachev...maybe).
But I don't see anything bad about any of those 4 points. And finally officially ending the war in Korea would be nice too. (I believe it's actually the UN that was officially at war with them...though the U.S. did all the heavy lifting as usual).
I think Trump is doing here what Obama SAID he was going to do...talk to our enemies face to face.
I don't think there is anything wrong with that at all. Matter of fact, it was Obama saying that in 2008 during the election that cemented my vote FOR him in that election.
Of course there is no way to predict the future. The whole thing could just fall apart.
As the President says over and over: We will see what happens.
