A former Defense Department official under the Obama administration who was critical of how President Trump was handling peace talks with North Korea conceded that his latest move may have brought Kim Jong Un back to the table.

Lindsey Ford, who now serves as Director of Political-Security Affairs at the Asia Society Policy Institute, wrote an op-ed last week for The New York Times claiming that Trump was “outplayed” by North Korea and that the letter the president sent to North Korean Dictator Kim was proof that the administration has “undermined its own leverage.”

Well, since Trump sent the letter that had cancelled the June 12 summit, it seems it had reignited interest in peace talks on behalf of North Korea and that the summit may actually take place.
