President Donald Trump is setting a very high bar as he heads to Vietnam for his second summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

In Trump’s latest tweet, he assures that Kim “will make a wise decision” and agree to the “complete denuclearization” of North Korea. He’s also predicting that the Hermit Kingdom “will rapidly become an economic powerhouse” once they open themselves up to the international market.

Meeting for breakfast with our Nation’s Governors – then off to Vietnam for a very important Summit with Kim Jong Un. With complete Denuclearization, North Korea will rapidly become an Economic Powerhouse. Without it, just more of the same. Chairman Kim will make a wise decision!

Political critics are skeptical of Trump’s 2nd summit, saying that North Korea’s activities over the last year would suggest they have no intention of denuclearization despite Trump’s meeting with Kim in Singapore. Trump also seems to remain optimistic about North Korea’s denuclearization, which comes off of him contradicting his intelligence chiefs who say Kim is highly unlikely to give up his nukes.
