To deal with Kim Jong-un, Trump must be less like Trump

The president agreed to this meeting impulsively. That won't work in the talks

Donald Trump’s decision to sit down with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is in character. The U.S. president loves outlandish plot twists that confound critics and supporters alike.

Agreeing to this meeting was questionable. It’s something previous presidents have refused to do, and with reason: It’s a concession that demanded something valuable from the other side. Trump has not secured that, and he appears to have acted impulsively. This isn’t encouraging -- but the decision has been made and what matters now is to make the best of it.

That will require Trump to be less like Trump.

His administration deserves credit
