There's a reason Kim took that magic train ride to Beijing and then afterwards all the "peace" stuff with SK and then the proposed US/NK summit. Add that to the fact that NK apparently blew up its own testing site, then may be there's a chance this time around. As far as NK threatening to pull out, that's negotiating 101 and no different than when buying a car. Of course the stakes are higher, but logically the same thought process, etc.
I often threaten to pull out, but I never do.
lol, to do that you'd have to actually get in first.

Yeah, baffled why this wouldn't have been put on hold.
I agree. It is a gesture, not pallets of cash.

Please. Trump's entire MO is to try to undo all the accomplishments that Obama made, and play catch up to him. That's why he even decided to run in the first place. He has always had some kind of irrational obsession with Obama.
Hahaha
Eight long, wasted, years. Please regale us with “all the accomplishments”.
Certainly shouldn’t take you long to list them all. Could probably fit it all into one haiku.

What part of the testing site was already destroyed do you not understand. They have a nuke. That's all that matters to them. I see that Donald's magical powers to make everything work has failed again. Sad.
They can't make it go anywhere. The last test of a rocket barely got out of the country. It's like having an AR 15 but no bullets. Yea you can threaten people and it looks cool but it can't do the job it was designed for.
Again ya boy would've given the farm, ten terrorists, and signed a sh*TTY nuke deal for a half dead hostage. Funny how your memory is as short as your... Pinky toe.

Now THAT made me laugh!
I'm not sure why - Trump's first 8-10 months were spent executive ordering his way out of things that Obama had done in office.
Obama accomplished plenty, whether you personally like the accomplishments or not.

Obama certainly did accomplish a lot - Trump wouldn't have been in a tizzy to EO them all out of existence for months on end otherwise.
Whether or not you agree with the nature of the accomplishments is of course, everyone's individual opinion.

On the flip side, I don't think you do.
ac·com·plish·ment
əˈkämpliSHmənt
the successful achievement of a task.
"the accomplishment of planned objectives"
One more time - the fact that you don't agree with said accomplishment is moot.
Trump has been spending his entire presidency trying to undo things that Obama did, and that continues to this day. To me, that says that Obama accomplished quite a bit. Either that, or Trump's work skills are that of a sloth.

Think about what you just said....
If you DON'T personally like what Obama did, then 'Executive Ordering his way out of (those) things' is a major accomplishment.... and there are apparently a lot of them that need to be undone.
So similarly, whether you personally like the undoing of those things or not, Trump is (by that measure) accomplishing plenty.

...and if you'll note, I never said Trump wasn't accomplishing anything - I said his MO is trying to undo the accomplishments of Obama.
No doubt Trump's EO's have "accomplished" doing a bit of that.

RE: North Korea is threatening to cancel summit.
8 years vs 'months' on end?
If Trump spent 8 years undoing what Obama did in HIS 8 years, he'd be doing as you describe. Obviously he doesn't want to wait that long to fix the problems that he ran and was elected to fix.
