Expert says chance of Trump-Kim meeting is 'slim to none'

Washington - A respected analyst expressed Tuesday that he perceives a negligible possibility of another summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. Bruce Klingner, a senior fellow at the Maureen and Mike Mansfield Foundation, made these remarks at a forum in Washington, following discussions surrounding the potential resumption of their summitry.

The decision on the meeting hinges on the extent to which the U.S. lowers its expectations or the willingness of Trump to make concessions, according to Klingner. He conveyed these views during a forum organized by the Korea Economic Institute of America, while acknowledging that a summit might still occur, contingent upon the U.S. lowering its standards or Trump's readiness to concede.

This comment was made amidst mounting anticipation for Trump's possible engagement with Kim, which certain observers believe could serve as a diplomatic triumph and enhance Trump's reputation as a peacemaker.
