After his first summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in June, US President Donald Trump announced an end to the nuclear threat on the Korean Peninsula. But since then, his administration's diplomacy does not seem to have yielded any tangible results, other than planning another summit.
DENVER – “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” This aphorism, often attributed to Albert Einstein, seems to be the inspiration for US President Donald Trump’s North Korea policy. Trump’s approach has been to reject everything that came before him, while involving himself in negotiations to an unprecedented degree. As a result, the US Secretary of State has been reduced to little more than a sherpa for his boss’s summits with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
