BREAKING: President Trump meets with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Hanoi, Vietnam
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is due to meet President Trump on Wednesday evening to begin their second summit.many ways Kim could declare the summit a victory"Kim Jong Un has several paths to a win in Hanoi -- and unfortunately Trump seems determined to make it happen," said Adam Mount, Senior Fellow and Director, Defense Posture Project, Federation of American Scientists.
"When moving from initial meeting to the summit setting, Trump invited Kim to walk ahead of him. This could be interpreted as a desire to calm the situation and the President also used his hand to guide the younger man, which can be seen as an indication of a desire to assert dominance," Giguere said in an email.
"The bow plays an important role in Korean greetings and etiquette in general. This is one of the ways in which Trump could show a small amount of recognizable politeness and respect to the North Korean leader without being too friendly, especially given they have met before," Giguere said. Kim Song Nam is known as a longtime adviser to the Kim family on China matters, and has acted as the North Korean leader's Chinese interpreter in the past. While he also holds the position of deputy minister of international affairs, his presence would seem to add weight to reports in the South Korean media speculating that Kim Jong Un would stop in Beijing to brief Chinese President Xi Jinping on his latest meeting with Trump.
