The biggest concern of many experts, has proved to be unfounded. US President, Donald Trump has not agreed to an unfavorable Deal with the North Korean ruler Kim Jong-Un, only to be hit by the negative headlines distract in the home, where his former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, in front of the Congress, as expected, a devastating picture of his Ex-bosses. For Trump himself his second summit must have been meeting with Kim, but a bitter disappointment.
Why the failure of the summit?
in The end, everything went very quickly. The joint lunch was cancelled, a planned signing canceled ceremony, and Trump announced his early departure. “Sometimes you have to go,” he said by way of explanation. Thus, the summit had failed, and after the great hopes that had fueled Trump. To like he would be a President who can end wars, he has let himself for a possible Nobel peace prize recommend.
Now it is different, and some will breathe a sigh of relief. Because the initial situation was difficult: It was not prior to the start of the summit, once again, possible to agree on a common Definition of denuclearization. The US President said the Failure is with the claim of Kim’s, that the US should lift all sanctions against North Korea, but in return only parts of its nuclear program, wanted to give up.
The U.S. side had asked Kim to close the plant for the enrichment of uranium for nuclear weapons in the nuclear complex, Yongbyon, a further site elsewhere, Trump said. “I think he was surprised that we knew about it.” Kim spoke after the abrupt summit at the end.
What is the Failure for Trump?
For him, rather atypical of the President in Vietnam, claimed: “speed is important to me. For me, it is important that we get the right agreement.“ This is contrary to his previously expressed expectations that he could quickly reach a Deal. In retrospect, particularly surprising is that the US Delegation the day before, announcing already a solemn signing ceremony for Thursday – something like that usually happens only if one is sure that a breakthrough.
it had been Expected that the two leaders would at least agree on a formal end to the Korean war (1950-1953), which so far never happened. And also Trump had spoken to the summit at the beginning of the strikingly positive about Kim: “We like each other. We have a good relationship. I have confidence in him. And I take him at his word.“ The US President was obviously confident of victory. His critics see once again encouraged that he gets the self-proclaimed world’s best dealmakers ultimately, no Deals are made.
what’s next?
plans for a third summit, there is not currently. But at least North Korea is said to have promised no further nuclear tests. Pyongyang has taken since November of 2017, no more Tests, Trump is proud of. For US Secretary of state Mike Pompeo talks represent at least a good basis for further negotiations.
What are the consequences of the allegations of his Ex-lawyer for Trump?
That is exactly the time testified to the summit, back home in Washington his Ex-lawyer Cohen in front of the Congress, angered the President. In his final press conference, he took to comment on the operations in the homeland: Cohen was a liar, and it was “really bad”, that such a hearing was “in the middle of this very important summit” scheduled.
As dangerous to him Cohen’s statement is, in the long term, it will show. It is established that the Ex-lawyer has at least delivered information and clues for further investigation. For example, Trump should have previously known that the Wikileaks by the Democratic party to the stolen E-Mails would publish about his opponent in the presidential race, Hillary Clinton. He should also have the hush money payments to the pornstar Stormy Daniels at the Cohen in order and the money refunded. To also provided the plans for a Trump Tower in Moscow, what Cohen had lied to in the past year, the Congress, the Ex-lawyer of new information. To do this, documents about false asset information, which Trump should have a loan of the Deutsche Bank obtained and possible further Offences, the suggested Cohen.
How useful his statements and the evidence submitted, will look at the Russia-investigator Robert Mueller, but also the New York state attorney certainly. Also, the Congress should now have new ideas, who and what should he look at next in more detail, for example, the tax declarations of the President.
Has reached Donald Trump on a low point of his presidency?
with the low points is one thing about Trump. Cohen called the President a racist, an imposter and a fraud, and signed the image of a mobster – but all of that will shock the Trump-critics little. Just as you have assessed the President already. And at the end is crucial, which will keep the trailer from him. For the hearings on Wednesday in the Congress are just further proof of how the Democrats want to bring your President-elect. They believe Cohen and other former Confidant of Trump, the statements against him now, not a word. That Cohen is sentenced due to other Offences already, in may, a three-year prison sentence commencement, and the Congress has already lied to, encourages it.
The American society is so deeply divided that the two sides can barely agree on common facts. The hearing was a good example: It was a great Show, during which the Republicans attempted to undermine the credibility of Cohen’s, and otherwise have little interest in the showed, what had to say of the witness. The Democrats, in turn, were served remarkably lenient with Cohen, the Trump at least ten years and the Congress has already lied. They take him to the penitent sinner seems to be one hundred percent. To the desire to be able to the President, finally, something solid to prove. Statements such as that of Cohen, the President had him lie although not applied directly, but he knew what Trump my, are, however, a little misleading.
Has become a Impeachment of Trump is more likely?
For a successful impeachment needs a two-thirds majority in the Senate. There Trumps the Republicans remain the majority. Michael Cohen turned in his hearing, directly to the Republicans. “I’m responsible for their stupidity, because I’ve done it for ten years, what are you doing now: I was protecting Mr Trump.” Who’s the sun, “the blind, as I have done”, but I will have to bear the consequences, as he had to wear them. Haunting words, but that hardly rattled a Republican. For too long, you have linked your fate with that of their President.

But the Democrats, the majority in the house of representatives since the mid-term elections, shy away currently before the subject of impeachment proceedings. Because Cohen’s statement on Wednesday, apparently still nothing. It’s probably still too early, because it is still unclear what has taken special investigator Mueller. Cohen’s questioning continued, meanwhile, on Thursday behind closed doors.
