Marc Thiessen: Moon-Kim Summit a Direct Result of Trump’s Policy and Threat of Force

‘Both sides have incentive for it to be successful because they want the summit with President Trump to take place’

RUSH EXCERPT:
THIESSEN: "I don’t know what I’ll see coming out of it. Both sides have incentive for it to be successful because they want the summit with President Trump to take place. They have an incentive to come to an agreement and at least good optics. I think it’s right that this is a direct result of president Trump’s policy. He indeed has delivered a credible military threat to North Korea which has gotten their attention. He has put maximum pressure on them economically but combined it with the offer of diplomacy. We have the hammer and the open hand and is giving North Korea the option which it wants. It seems to be choosing the open hand for now. We’ll see how it goes."
