Hopes and fears on North Korea

• “Sleep well tonight!” President Trump told Americans on Twitter after returning from his meeting in Singapore with Kim Jong-un of North Korea, adding that there was “no longer a nuclear threat” to the U.S.

But the path to disarmament remains unclear. North Korea still has 141 sites devoted to the production and use of weapons of mass destruction, and its state media has not mentioned the ambitious disarmament targets that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo outlined in South Korea on Wednesday.

• The talks seem to have lowered the short-term chances of war on the Korean Peninsula, but for Japan and South Korea, they’ve raised fears of a U.S. retreat from the region.
