"Under the leadership of Kim Jong-UN's North Korea will be a great economic powerhouse. It may surprise some, but to me he will not come as a surprise because I met him and totally understand how capable he is," wrote Trump on the man he once - and not without derision - as the "Rocket Man" was dubbed. "North Korea will be a different type of rocket - a business!"
Hanoi with experience
President of South Korea, Moon Jae-In, who had played in the past year, an important role of mediator between Washington and Pyongyang, had stressed the symbolic power of the decision-making for Vietnam as a host. Vietnam offers the perfect stage for a new Chapter in the history between North Korea and the United States. Vietnam and the US had once "directed swords and guns against each other, but now they are friends".
Also between Pyongyang and Washington has used Trump - in spite of the intervening force samples and word - battles-of a thaw. The situation on the Korean Peninsula now seems less explosive than it was before the arrival of the Republicans.
Hanoi is expected the summit between Trump and Kim the highest safety measures and a rush of international media to bring. With major international events the city has, however, already experience. (sda)
