Did Kim Jong cry uncle? Did Don fall for a con? Everyone has an opinion about the sudden plans for the most anticipated meeting since Frazier and Ali went fifteen rounds at the Garden. The New Yorker’s Robin Wright sets the scene: “In a breathtaking gambit that surprised his closest advisers, President Trump, almost impulsively, accepted an invitation on Thursday to meet the North Korean leader Kim Jong Un—by May—to discuss how to defuse the world’s most dangerous nuclear standoff.”

+ The Atlantic’s Uri Friedman with a good overview: What’s There to Talk About With North Korea?

+ “As far as Trump’s concerned, his predecessors failed, so he has nothing to learn from their experiences.” Fred Kaplan in Slate: A meeting between Trump and Kim Jong-un could be a major opportunity—if Trump actually prepares for it.

+ Victor Cha in the NYT: What Will Trump Give Up for Peace with North Korea? “Everyone should be aware that this dramatic act of diplomacy by these two unusual leaders, who love flair and drama, may also take us closer to war.”

+ WaPo’s David Ignatius: “What I see is a North Korea that has become a nuclear-weapons state and now, from a position of strength, wants negotiations with America.”

+ Bloomberg: “It was classic Trump, showing an unerring confidence to get the better end of any negotiation. But it was also Trump in another way: high risk and high reward, with little regard for those in the foreign policy establishment who worry it’s too much, too soon.”

+ Anna Fifield in WaPo: “Just by sitting down with President Trump, Kim Jong Un would get what he craves the most: legitimacy.” (Ah, maybe these two guys have something in common aside from Dennis Rodman.)
