(ANSA) – Hanoi is ready for the new meeting between US President Donald Trump and Korean leader Kim Jong, who will travel to the Vietnamese capital for the second historic summit between the two in the last eight months, after the previous meeting in Singapore.

Months in which the relationship between the two has become closer, thanks to a great exchange of letters, worthy of two "teenagers in love," ironically writes the Washington Post. Own TrumpSome time ago, you literally admit "in love" with that. A little over a year ago, you were your most bitter enemy, with an exchange of insults and unprecedented crimes in the panorama of international relations.

Despite the new direction, the outcome of the Wednesday and Thursday summit seems more uncertain than ever, since Singapore has changed little, except for the end of missile tests in Pyongyang.

US intelligence officials reiterated in recent days with extreme clarity that the main goal pursued by the Trump administration was fundamentally unachievable: North Korea is unlikely to completely abandon its nuclear arsenal, because Kim sees it as a fundamental goal. guarantee for the survival of his regime. The risk is that of a cow at the top with a strong content, reduced more than anything to an exhibition that will help the two leaders to strengthen their position in their country, rather than lay the foundation for future increased global security.

Trump sees the 2020 elections as an opportunity to enter into history, with the agreement with North Korea as an important part of its management. Not to mention that the Republican tycoon is more than ever attracted by the idea of ​​one day receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, observers noted.

The United States, for its part, could obtain a more detailed "road map" regarding the dismantling of the Pyongyang nuclear arsenal, which, as has been said, is difficult to complete. . In return, Trump could take a first step towards the resumption of formal diplomatic relations between the United States and North Korea through the exchange of liaison officers. And it could also end the chapter of the war between the two Koreas with a peace treaty replacing the armistice in force since 1953.

As for a possible softening of sanctions, the United States, for its part, do not speak for the moment, at least that was clarified by the Secretary of State Mike Pompeo last Sunday.
