South and North Korea meet for the 3rd time! What to expect: Meticulous to-the-second planning for all the logistics of the summit. - from the cameras, staging, seating, menu a careful eye placed on optics and symbolism. one funny side note: Japan is pissed about a Dokdo-shaped dessert. Some expert trolling by the Blue House. High expectations set for the results of this summit. Too high? - some sort of statement on denuclearization and a declaration of peace expected. - reactions from Washington and Trump will definitely be kept in mind when drafting the statement Domestic reaction will be interesting - opposition/LKP already voicing skepticism, expected to be mealy-mouthed about the positive results. Chairman Hong already says this is a ruse to prop up a collapsing NK regime - overwhelming public support and optimism for the summit. Moon and 청와대 will pull out all the stops to make sure they don't disappoint. - afterwards, the ball will be in Trump's court. More on the summit after it finishes!
