Here is the likely scenario that I wish would not play out- BUT IT COULD.

The NPRK agrees to denuclearize the peninsula but is return for that and for China's backing and support the USA gives into China's one side trade, not normalize trade and address tariffs (which on their side averages 8%) and is responsible for the $400 annual trade deficit the USA has with them.

And that is not a bad thing. My guess, if the talks progress, we will see a lessening of tariff talk on China.

I consider that hate speech. Treasonous. This is the WORST CASE SCENARIO. If that happens it will be the end of MAGA and Trump. Say hello to Democrats and socialism.

This is why we hate you Free Traitors™. Bannon warned us about trading tariffs for a treaty with NORK. THIS WOULD SUCK.

Have you been to China?
Any of Asia?

Yes, I have.
Much hustle and bustling, you often see the extended family working some machine, the children helping and doing homework all in a small shop.
For the only way to make is successful is to keep the means of production working 24/7.

America used to be like this, long ago.

You were sold out before you were born.
Time to get used to your new Chinese overlords.
And welcome them.

Chinese cuisine is excellent.
Enjoy!

Not certain but, sounds a bit hostile?

More like what I would expect from devout New York City type.

Are you actually from Virginia, or is that a fake facade?

Your computer and the monitor you use came from Asia, for sure.

I am not so greedy as to destroy the USA industrial base, cause social havoc, lower GDP growth, in order to buy a cheaper poor quality Coolie made consumer goods. IT'S NOT WORTH IT AT ANY PRICE.

I see this as a tease leading up to an actual attendance. China should be part of the discussions.

The Showman builds up a dramatic scenario.

Even the Goebbelsmedia will have to devote hours of time to covering it. It would not want to disappoint China.

China is not ideologically committed to NK, strategic aims aside, and sees no profit in an economical basket case, a holdover from Stalinism.

Singapore is the 'second wealthiest place in the world'.... Only Qatar surpasses it.

I wonder what dramatic scene he and UN have dreamed up for the Fake Media.

But, heck, Trump is probably in on the Kabuki.
That’s diplomacy!

All you say, but...
China (and Russia too, somewhat) wants to develop and use NK’s all-weather ports.
Needs US approval because most of the goods that go through would be US-bound, or from US. Also needs Japanese acquiesence.

As long as NK stays within its fold. If NK drifts away from its orbit, it may not be worth the cost. This could be especially true for China.

Nah ... North Korea & China’s trade surplus with the US are separate issues. Trump is too savvy to allow the two to become entangled.

****************************************
Singapore is an example of what a VERY small country with no resources can accomplish if it puts its mind to it. Perhaps there’s a lesson to be learned by the people in the Gaza Strip—if they choose to learn it.

They grew because not only did they have strict laws and punishments but they enforced them regardless of who you were, and it is still so today....When there is law and order in a country and an open door for business as they did and have today..growth will happen.

I read if you chew gum and spit it on the street it’s a $1000. fine!Rules are pretty strict.

I don’t trust either one but if they think they’re going to get us to leave so they can take over, they haven’t been paying attention to how Trump works.

You globalist don’t get it. Politically you are on the way out. I can always count on you to take the bait. Religious Globalist zealots always do.
