Trump: I told Kim he could have 'the best hotels in the world'President Trump said Tuesday he floated the prospect of beachfront hotels and other real estate developments in North Korea during his meeting with the country's leader, Kim Jong Un. Speaking to reporters after the historic summit, Trump said he told Kim that instead of testing ballistic missiles, the cash-strapped country "could have the best hotels in the world." "Instead of doing that, you could have the best hotels in the world right there," Trump said he told Kim. "Think of it from a real estate perspective." Trump's comments came as he wrapped up a trip to Singapore, where he held a historic face-to-face meeting with Kim and signed an agreement committing the U.S. to unspecified "security guarantees" in exchange for the eventual denuclearization of the Korean peninsula. The president also said that he planned to invite Kim to Washington for future talks, and predicted that they would meet again "many times." Prior to his departure for Singapore on Saturday, Trump spoke about North Korea's potential to be a "great" country. But his comments on Tuesday put his experience as a real-estate developer on full display. "You have South Korea, you have China and they own the land in the middle. How bad is that, right?" he continued. "It’s great." link

The bottom line here is that Mr. Trump has managed to accomplish what no other sitting president in modern times had been able to accomplish. Indeed, it is an historic moment of epic proportions. Whether anything develops out of it is anyone's guess, but at least the door has been opened and the invites have been sent out. Considering what had transpired within the last year and a half with the attitudes of both Mr. Trump and Kim Jong Un, this summit/meeting is nothing short of a small miracle.
He ain't gonna build any hotels there. Who would stay there? It's a closed country. From what the news reports tell us, most N. Koreans are living in poverty.

I don't know if the climate in North Korea is all that conducive for beach front resorts. It isn't exactly Margaritaville.

What did N.Korea concede? Where are the details? Trump was the one that gave away the store.. A personal meeting.. N.Korea has been trying to get that for 40 years.. They are now recognized.. Stopping military drills with S.Korea… another N.Korean AND Chinese dream. So what did they give? A vague promise to denuclearize? When? What are the terms? How will it be inspected, when, how often and by whom? They PLAYED the TRUMP card bigly... If this is epic.. it's epic because America has been played for a fool... thanks to that moron in the WH.

Beachfront hotels would mean Tourism in a country that the people have no idea of the outside world. Of course Trump being so dumb I doubt he knows that fact. To open NK for tourism would be a recipe for disaster for both the NK people and the soon jailed tourists. Does Trump not know that Tourist like to mingled with people? most likely not..

This meeting was nothing but BS and PR....two liars trying to out lie the other.... Trump Was Outfoxed in Singapore Lindsey Hilsum @lindseyhilsum 44m44 minutes ago Good column by @nickkristof on how Kim gave nothing and got a lot from @realdonaldtrump. t.co/UDvb5pwGA2 ____Within North Korea, the “very special bond” that Trump claimed to have formed with Kim will be portrayed this way: Kim forced the American president, through his nuclear and missile tests, to accept North Korea as a nuclear equal, to provide security guarantees to North Korea, and to cancel war games with South Korea that the North has protested for decades. In exchange for these concessions, Trump seems to have won astonishingly little. In a joint statement, Kim merely “reaffirmed” the same commitment to denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula that North Korea has repeatedly made since 1992. “They were willing to de-nuke,” Trump crowed at his news conference after his meetings with Kim. Trump seemed to believe he had achieved some remarkable agreement, but the concessions were all his own. The most remarkable aspect of the joint statement was what it didn’t contain. There was nothing about North Korea freezing plutonium and uranium programs, nothing about destroying intercontinental ballistic missiles, nothing about allowing inspectors to return to nuclear sites, nothing about North Korea making a full declaration of its nuclear program, nothing about a timetable, nothing about verification, not even any clear pledge to permanently halt testing of nuclear weapons or long-range missiles. read more: www.nytimes.com/2018/06/12/opinion/trump-kim-summit-north-korea.html
