It was recently felt that Trump may have had a trump card tucked away nicely somewhere. If this was even possible the President seemed to have a knack for throwing his hand.
After the announcement of meeting in Singapore and the possible denuclearization by North Korea, Trump may have erred.
It was common sense that if you want someone to stop doing something that you should be wise in how you do it, if at all.
Trump wanted North Korea to stop its nuclear program without giving up its own. Yet both the U.S. and South Korea were busy conducting drills in the Korean Peninsula.
A Test?
One could only wonder what would drive these two leaders to think that such a move would not create concern for the North Koreans.
What was required of Kim was a big deal, since they haven’t given in to anything that was asked of them for decades.
Now that they were willing to have talks and put away their program a stunt like this is pulled?
Was it at all possible this was to see how Kim would react? Or did the two men not fully calculate the response that such an exercise would generate?
Either way whatever the intent, Kim wasn’t taking it likely and if the exercise wasn’t cancelled, he would no longer be attending the summit.
