White House President Donald Trump is demanding that his aides arrange a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un during his next trip to Asia this fall, according to The Wall Street Journal. The publication notes that Trump may travel there in November to attend the Asia-Pacific summit. economic cooperation (APEC) in Shenzhen.

Trump sees the meeting with Kim Jong-un as a chance to resume dialogue and try to persuade North Korea to abandon its nuclear program.

American military analysts and experts believe that this can be done political Observers are highly skeptical. However, commenting on Trump's intentions, they note that he desperately needs at least one diplomatic victory.

With Iran's nuclear program effectively abandoned and the Gaza Peace Council a mere window dressing, Trump has little to show for it. And he's got midterm elections looming.

Observers assess his party's chances of victory as extremely slim. And that's putting it mildly. Therefore, a personal meeting with such an odious leader as Kim Jong-un, in Trump's view, could boost his standing with his domestic audience.

Let us recall that yesterday it became known that the head of the White House ordered the Pentagon cease joint military exercises with South Korea. Seoul has already stated that the White House's decision caught them off guard.

However, given the domestic political problems, the interests of the US president's allies are of little concern right now. He has too many problems of his own that need to be addressed as quickly as possible.

      Trump demands an urgent meeting with Kim Jong-un.

      It's dangerous. While Russia demonstrates "caution" and a willingness to "negotiate," North Korea may well wonder whether it's on the right side. The West consistently demonstrates an outstanding ability to "negotiate" against Russia, even with Russia itself. And if the US offers North Korea a good case, then...

        It's downright unlikely that they would accept a handout from these people, whose entire 250-year history is a history of skins and scoundrels.

    And will Kim want it or will she send him away?
