the stage for round two: US President Trump, and North Korea’s commander-in-chief, Kim arrived in Vietnam. At their second summit, both have to deliver this time results. But Trump inhibits the expectations.

Of a drove almost 70 hours in the armored train, the other flew 20 hours around the globe: North Korea’s ruler, Kim Jong-Un and US President, Donald Trump has arrived in the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi. Both men want to meet on Wednesday and Thursday to a second summit. The pressure, after a historic but largely unsuccessful first edition of the meeting last summer, the other this time, concrete concessions from, is great.

The fact of both sides-fueled euphoria in the run-up to the summit, however, not detract. So, the US President thanked after his arrival via Twitter for the “great reception” in Hanoi, the “huge crowds of people” and “so much love”. The North Koreans, Kim wanted to be in no way inferior to and settled after his arrival by a retinue of retainers and Bodyguards by Hanoi chauffeured and in the message of his country’s cheerin ‘ for.

This from the North Korean government provided the image to show leader Kim Jong-Un as he broke out in Pyongyang, in an armored train in the direction of Vietnam.

US President, Trump was in the government machine “Air Force One” in Hanoi. He was welcomed at the airport with military honours and thanked via Twitter for “so much love”.

so Far, few concrete Commitments

But images euphorisierter people quantities will not be enough this time around, Trump, and Kim hit her second Consecutive as a great success, able to sell, as they had done after the first summit in Singapore last summer. There, Kim had declared its readiness in principle to a “complete denuclearization” of his country. What was missing were concrete Commitments, when North Korea’s nuclear weapons and missile Arsenal wants to disarm.

Trump presents the verarmeten, under strict sanctions-suffering Land, in return for disarmament, non-defined security guarantees and aid for economic development. The US government excludes a loosening of the sanctions before progress in disarmament.

Both of them want to “corresponding” counter-performances

And also this time possible concrete summit results so far, especially the subject of speculation. It is conceivable that both sides explain to the Korean war (1950-53) ended. Even that, however, would be only a first, symbolic step on the way to a peace Treaty. So far, there is only a cease-fire. Actual peace on the Korean Peninsula would be a huge success for the North Korean Regime, since it won so to legitimacy.

Whether North Korea is obliged, in return, in fact, already offered the closure of the key nuclear complex in Yongbyon, must show. For Kim, “corresponding” requests against services in the United States.
