Reminder: Kim Jong Un has not met the 1st commitment of the Singapore summit a year ago: disclosing inventory of his weapons so there could be a baseline for denuclearization talks and is testing missiles but US has not held joint military exercises with SK since the 1st summit

Right now @MSNBC live NBC Korea expert Victor Cha says meeting Kim at DMZ is like having the Super Bowl when you haven’t played a single game. This meeting should be at the end of successful talks not when there’s been no progress
