Bloomberg — Trump Says South Korea Has His 'Blessing' for North Korea Peace Deal

Trump suggested he was responsible not only for the negotiations on a formal peace treaty ending the war but also the success of this year’s winter Olympics in South Korea.
“They’ve been very generous that without us and without me in particular, I guess, they wouldn’t be discussing anything and the Olympics would have been a failure,” Trump said. “As you know North Korea participated in the Olympics and it was really quite an Olympics. It was quite a success. That would not have happened.”...
The art of the deal.

Tom... not to be a snarky puppy here, but are there any passages in Tony Schwartz's book where geopolitical wisdom is imparted to the reader? ;)

"Obviously," without Trump the Olympics would have been a failure. *rolling eyes*

Matt, I've been meaning to ask you -- what does the "D" in "4-D chess" stand for? ;)

I was being snarky, but if this comes off, everyone is going to win bigly, and you know who is going to take all the credit.

But to his credit he is giving it a shot. No one in the political class or foreign policy establishment would have risked it.

Exactly. And look for it to be sabatoged by the usual culprits - who want to keep selling ABMs in the Pacific (among other things). Bolton must be furious at the even the thought of a peace treaty.
