KJU was threatening to cancel their summit but Trump beat him to it. Where does Trump's action leave the two principals? Trump has the hostages and got credit for agreeing to the summit. KJU lost the opportunity to be shown sitting down one-on-one with the leader of the lone superpower and just went thru the media show of dismantling his nuclear capability. Plus Trump dissed him with the comment to call if he changed his mind about the summit. Big loss of face for KJU and net plus for Trump.
