Highly unlikely he will, since he thinks he can "negotiate" anything. Too bad he doesn't understand people.
Trump’s Biggest North Korea Mistake Is Coming
The author of "The Art of the Deal" may think he can talk to Kim Jong Un. He’d be crazy to try.
Just days after Secretary of State Rex Tillerson stated that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was demonstrating “some level of restraint” by refraining from firing his missiles, Pyongyang on Tuesday launched an intermediate-range ballistic missile over Japan, where it broke up before falling into the ocean. Despite multiple North Korean launches since the Trump administration came to power—18 already this year—Tillerson continues to argue that there remains a “pathway to sometime in the early future having some dialogue.”
President Donald Trump may be about to make his biggest mistake with North Korea. Contrary to popular opinion, the mistake is not threatening “fire and fury.” Rather it will be extending an open hand to Pyongyang and proposing a new set of diplomatic negotiations. Once Trump does that, he owns America’s failed North Korea policy, and he will almost certainly fail in turn. He thus has one last chance to disavow the mistakes of the past quarter-century and forge a new policy designed to deal realistically with a nuclear North Korea. The odds are he won’t take it.
