Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un arrived Sunday at Singapore

The journalist and specialist in the North Korea evoke the top of June 12th between the leaders American and Korean is a historic summit between two “predatory”.

Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un arrived Sunday at Singapore at two days of their historic summit, whose exit is announced dubious after decades of distrust and tensions between the United States and the North Korea.

The leader North–Korean, whose displacements apart from its very–closed country are extremely rare, had arrived earlier in the course of the day after having played in the airs with the cat and the mouse with the media of the whole world which tracked its flight — not less than three planes connected Sunday Pyongyang to the city–State of the Southeast Asia.

In spite of the historical oppositions between the two nations, Sébastien Falletti evokes certain common points between the two leaders.
“They are both of the sons juniors by dynasty. Real dynasty for Trump, dynasty relentless for Kim. But both, it are of the sons number 2 who proved to their father that they deserved to be the heir. They proved it by their temperament”, he details.

According to the specialist, this temperament allures the US president particularly. “Donald Trump recognizes himself as Kim. And it likes that. And this much that the European leaders whom it meets. With Kim Jong–Un, he wants to make deals”.

Donald Trump, 71 years, and Kim Jong Un, of more than 30 years its junior, will find himself Tuesday morning in a luxury hotel of Singapore. The behavior of the US president in G7 in Canada, where it – with general stupor – torpedoed of an angry tweet the final agreement with its allies, reinforces the interrogations on its diplomatic strategy and its capacity to carry out international negotiations of high–flight, a fortiori with an enemy of long time.

Beyond the photograph of the two brought together leaders, unimaginable a few months ago still when they were engaged in a worrying verbal higher bid, an enormous question mark weighs on the exit of this private conversation which the whole world will observe with the magnifying glass.

Washington claims a “complete, verifiable and irreversible” denuclearization of the North Korea. Pyongyang was declared favorable to a denuclearization of the peninsula, but this very vague formula gives way to innumerable interpretations.

This year, the top is for the moment maintained between Donald Trump and Kim Jong–un.

One has little information concerning this historical meeting, which occurs after an appeasing of the relations between the two Korea illustrated by a meeting held on the two counterparts last April. A thing is sour: the crucial question of the denuclearization of Pyongyang will be central.

The date all the same is known: the top will proceed Tuesday, June 12, 2018. The first private conversation will start at 9 o‘clock in the morning approximately (local time). The place: in Singapore. And more precisely, in the Capella hotel of the island of Sentosa, which shelters many resorts as well as famous golf courses.

Washington never formally recognized the North Korea since the end of the war in 1953. It would be a victory for Pyongyang.
Before leaving Canada, Donald Trump once again displayed Saturday his optimism on this meeting of which he hopes to make a marker of his presidency.

“I have the impression that Kim Jong–un wants to do something of important for her people, and it has opportunity of it”, he launched, seeing in the meeting “a unique opportunity (…) which will never be represented”.
