FOREIGN POLICY/JAPAN/NORTH KOREA: “President Trump conducted summit meeting with North Korea together with Chairman Kim. He agreed on the denuclearization of Korean Peninsula and he signed the document. There was great significance in that.

He cracked open the shell of distrust so that a future — bright future — can be shared and urge North Korea to act accordingly. This was a new approach, which I welcome.”
