FOX News: Trump says he'll 'respectfully leave' Kim Jong Un summit if talks are 'not fruitful'
President Trump told reporters Wednesday he would not hesitate to walk out of a planned summit meeting with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un "if I think it's a meeting that is not going to be fruitful."
"I hope to have a very successful meeting," Trump said at a joint news conference alongside Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. "If we don't think it's going to be successful, we won't have it. If I think it's a meeting that is not going to be fruitful, we're not going to go. If the meeting when I’m there is not fruitful, I will respectfully leave the meeting."
The president spoke one day after it was revealed that CIA Director Mike Pompeo had met with Kim over Easter weekend in an effort to lay the groundwork for the prospective meeting with the American president, which Trump has said could take place by early June.

WNU Editor: I expect next week's summit between North and South Korea will be successful .... as well as the meeting between President Trump and North Korean Kim Jung-Un. It is in everyone's interest to come to an understanding that will lay the groundwork for future agreements and reconciliation. The big losers will be the South Korean taxpayers. I predict that they will be forking over tens of billions of dollars to make all of this work, and even more in the future if all of this works out. But is it worth it? If it brings a final peace to the Korean peninsula a few decades from now .... I would say definitely yes.
