As he prepares to head off for Singapore and Tuesday’s historic summit with Kim Jong Un, President Trump has been lowering expectations he’ll come back with a comprehensive denuclearization agreement with the North Korean leader — and wisely so.
“I think it’s a ‘getting to know you’ meeting plus, and that could be a very positive thing,” he said last week.
Trump’s caution is well-founded, given the decades-long history of Pyongyang’s nuclear deception. And it shows that, contrary to what his critics suggest, he’s not about to make foolish concessions for the sake of declaring victory.

In other words, no bad deal just for the sake of reaching one.
Another positive sign: GOP leaders say Trump — in a pointed break with President Barack Obama’s handling of Iran — has committed to sending any deal with North Korea to the Senate for ratification as a treaty.
That means it would have to appeal to a broad partisan majority.
Can he do it? Kim has shown he needs to be taken seriously. After all, an unstable, cash-starved regime with a nuclear arsenal is the worst of combinations.
But he’s increasingly desperate to relieve his failing economy through sanctions relief and trade. The president must ensure that he pays full price to achieve it.
Until now, notes Graham, time has always been on Kim’s side. Trump’s goal “is to put time on our side.”
