The Trump-Kim Summit, And Other Stories

Today, President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un had their summit in Singapore, the first ever meeting between a sitting American president and a North Korean head of state (all of whom have been members of the Kim family).  Here are some stories related to and/or reacting to the Trump-Kim summit:

From National Review, in exchange for suspending joint exercises with South Korea, the U.S. gets promises and "magic beans".  (I would have preferred kimchi, but bean sprouts are OK, too.)





From Fox News, and speaking of the media, Kim gets a taste of a "grandstanding newsman".

From the New York Post, in response to the summit, China asks the U.N. Security Council to lift its sanctions against North Korea.
