The president needs a plan, or he’ll get played in his meeting with Kim Jong Un.
PRESIDENT TRUMP and the governments of North Korea and South Korea are combining to create sky-high expectations for a diplomatic breakthrough on the North’s nuclear program. In the case of the Koreans, that’s evidently the result of careful and clever tactics. In Mr. Trump’s case, it looks more like empty and self-aggrandizing bluster. The result is that the president’s bet on an unprecedented summit with the North Korean leader is looking riskier than ever.
