What the United States has gotten out of this diplomatic process with North Korea over the last eight months and honestly it -- there's not a whole lot to show for it. North Korea has taking no verifiable stats. Towards unique organization since that first summit so at this time the hope is that they'll get something out of it actually show that this is being worth that. Hot but this summit president trump I'm characteristically. Has been camping down expectations. Saying that. He's in no rush on this do nuclear station thing and he's just glad there are no rockets going up. No nuclear tests going on but of course that is a far cry from. And it did pissing on the nuclearization there isn't even an established definition of what that could mean. Between the United States and North Korea can tells another torn. One at this is one of the most remarkable elements of this negotiation and the last summit that choose sides agreed to you they denuclearization. Of the Korean Peninsula at that time the president told us that. North Korea had committed to giving up its new X.

Actually have the opportunity to ask president trump about that himself and he said that withdrawing or even decreasing the number of US troops on. South Korean soil was not on the table but everything else was. The dornin there is there is. Amid a hot Lil there in Hanoi.
