1. President Trump is likely to visit the DMZ soon after the summit, and he has basically invited Kim Jong-un, tweeting that he would meet him at the DMZ to shake his hand and say Hello. How likely do you think this meeting will take place, and what can we expect out of it?
2. We’ve seen various developments since the Hanoi summit, including Kim-Putin, Kim-Xi summits and the exchange of personal letters between Kim and Trump. Do you expect a change in Washington’s FFVD stance following those developments?Is he likely to ease sanctions at all?
3. President Trump has been flaunting his pen pal relationship with Kim Jong-un,... and heaping praises on the young leader despite North Korea's projectile launch last month.
Are the flatteries part of a well-calculated strategy?
4. Kim Jong-un reportedly told Xi Jinping that North Korea’s ultimate goal of denuclearization is its regime security during their summit. Is there a viable way to guarantee North Korea’s regime survival?
