I don&#8217;t recall the POTUS laying out any such pre-meeting requirement. Instead, he spoke publicly of the &#8220;love letters&#8221; he and Kim exchanged.

The guy has killed members of his own family; his people are starving while he pours billions of dollars into nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n<p>Can Kim Jong Un be trusted? Nope. Thus, President Biden would be wise to keep his distance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"mailto:johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com\">johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Biden has laid out a fascinating pre-condition were he and North Korea&#8217;s tinhorn dictator Kim Jong Un ever were to meet face to face.
