Take a tough Republican president, a Chinese government committed to help us, and a North Korean government faced with demands for denuclearization, and what do you get? It sounds like breaking news. But the scene comes from 2007, when the Bush administration thought it had achieved a historic breakthrough with North Korea. It was mistaken.
So, it appears, is Donald Trump. In June, he emerged from a summit with Kim Jong Un and tweeted that “everybody can now feel much safer” because there is “no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea.” He could have been accused of putting the cart before the horse, writes Steve Chapman, if there were a cart, or a horse.
