US-North Korea flash summit remains long shot despite Trump’s open offer

AI Summary

short article 1 min

A potential flash summit between the US and North Korea remains unlikely despite President Trump indicating openness to talks during his recent Asia trip. Some analysts view Trump's description of Pyongyang as "sort of a nuclear power" as a diplomatic concession that could benefit Kim Jong-un. However, Kim’s focus on alliances with China and Russia due to the Ukraine war makes it challenging for him to prioritize a summit with the US. Experts suggest that even if initial talks do not lead to denuclearization agreements, they could facilitate further official negotiations. A meeting between Trump and Kim could enhance both leaders' domestic standing by showcasing international engagement and progress on nuclear issues.
