Donald Trump offered to ease ZTE sanctions to persuade China to help with North Korea summit
An inside source said that it doesnt look like [North Korea] wants to denuclearise at all as US officials worry about June 12 Trump-Kim summit

The White House has been rattled by North Koreas recent about-face in negotiations over its nuclear weapons programme, with US President Donald Trump calling South Korean President Moon Jae-in for his thoughts on the matter, an insider has revealed.
Fearing that China has poisoned North Korean leader Kim Jong-un against him, Trump also attempted to extend an olive branch to President Xi Jinping by offering to ease sanctions on Chinese telecoms company ZTE, a second source said.
The moves come with just over three weeks to go before Trump is to meet Kim in Singapore on June 12 in a summit that Pyongyang has threatened to pull out of.
Late on Saturday, Trump called Moon to ask why Pyongyang had shifted to a harder-line position, cancelling a meeting with South Korean officials and threatening to pull out of the June 12 talks, a senior US official with knowledge of the conversation said.
That came in sharp contrast to the more positive and constructive tone it held after Moon met Kim last month.
The call lasted less than 30 minutes, the official said, and is indicative of concerns in the White House, which has already sent an advance team to Singapore to work out logistics for the planned meeting.
Trump announced publicly last week that
he believes North Koreas tone changed after Kims second visit to Beijing to meet with Xi.

Who is Will Bunch?
Never heard of the guy. Who is he, and why is he attaching our president?
Is he a democrat? Is he a RINO, who is opposed to Trump like Bush was opposed to him as well?
Trump seems to be just what he says he is.
If he turns, I will be out front criticising the guy. But thus far, he has seemed to be exactly what he said he is.
I am very happy thus far.
Although I will admit, building the wall, and bringing back American jobs, are both non-negotiable.
He needs to get working on both of those.
There are LOTS of people opposing him on both of those issues. Very rich people.
But thus far, he seems to be exactly what he has said he is.
Go President Trump.
:D
Here is an article on Trump, by the same blowhard.

Note. Huffington Post. Note, just before the election.
Note. Sounds anti-Trump.
Terribly so. He is not a guy to listen to.
Not at all. I think, frankly, he’s probably a democrat. Though he has a 20-year career in journalism.
So he doesn’t come right out and say that.
Look at the article above.
Look at what is says about Trump.
Then look at the date: August, of 2016.
Sorry. That article is originally, from August of 2015.
It was updated in 2016.
Go ahead and read what he said. August of 2015.

Go ahead. Read.
You really want to put forward an article by that guy, about Trump?
Really?
Careful.
You could get banned for that, for daring to go against group-think.

What they don’t want to do is underestimate Trump and try to squeeze his hand.
They must believe that U.S. is now so wedded to the success of summit that it would not call off the summit fearing political fallout.
They must think it’s the Obama administration...
Bwhahahah, those days are OVER!
AND they would be wrong.
I do try to be careful. One must not note that the Emperor has no clothes.
