Despite the impasse, the Trump administration has been actively working to bring the North back to the table. This past week, Stephen Biegun, the U.S. special representative for North Korea, traveled to Japan, South Korea, and China to speak with officials about denuclearization, although he was unable to secure a meeting with North Korean officials. The president has also previously met face-to-face with Kim three times: in Singapore in June 2018, in Hanoi in February, and along the North Korean-South Korean border in June.
Trump seemed unfazed by the potential threat, though. “We’ll find out what the surprise is and we’ll deal with it very successfully,” he said. “Everybody’s got surprises for me, but let’s see what happens. I handle them as they come along.”
