EXCERPT:

BREMMER: "There was a greater chance of a breakthrough and a greater chance of confrontation. You’re Obama, you’re Bush, you don’t want to even consider that. You’re Trump, in the same way that he decided we were going to hit the Syrians, not once but twice, for chemical weapons use, and Obama was like, 'Oh, no, not unless they get a lot of support,' it ended up being the right move. The international community and domestically said, 'Yeah, we shouldn’t tolerate that, we should actually hit them.' North Korea is the same thing. Doesn’t mean the outcome will be the one preferred by the United States, but for now there is no question in my mind that if it were not for the Trump Administration, we do not have the opening from the North Koreans right now.”
