Expert's take on Kim-Trump summit: Darcie Draudt
- 6 years ago
Let's get an expert's take on the North Korea-U.S. summit.
I'm joined on the phone by Darcie Draudt, a Korea expert from the Political Science Department at Johns Hopkins University, and Non-Resident Fellow at the Pacific Forum.
Darcie, thanks for joining us,... we are just over 24 hours from this Superbowl of summits.....
What are you expecting -- results-wise -- from Tuesday's meeting between President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un - a meet and greet... and a good photo opportunity… or something substantial?
President Trump says he will know within the first minute of meeting Kim Jong-un whether he is serious about peace. With comments like that, do you worry Trump appears to be winging it?
President Trump has talked about a willingness to get things done, but on the NK's part - have you seen any signs that Kim shares the same view?
As Kim and Trump prepare to meet, what's the role of the other regional players - South Korea, China and Japan - as this process moves along at a breakneck speed?
We appreciate your insights. Let's hope we have a successful summit with some tangible results to show for it. Darcie Draudt, thank you.
