Trump Shakes Hands with Kim at Start of Summit

President Trump and Kim Jong-un of North Korea “arrived at the site of their first face-to-face meeting Tuesday, a momentous step in an improbable courtship that has opened a new chapter for the world’s largest nuclear power and the most reclusive one,” the New York Times reports.

“Brash, impulsive leaders who only a few months ago taunted each other across a nuclear abyss, Mr. Trump and Mr. Kim had set aside their threats in a gamble that for now, at least, personal diplomacy can overcome decades of distrust.”
