'Don't expect too much': Dennis Rodman plays down Kim-Trump breakthrough
« on: June 11, 2018, 08:53:34 pm »
Singapore (AFP) - Former US basketball star Dennis Rodman flew into Singapore late Monday ahead of at summit betwen President Donald Trump and North Korea's Kim Jong Un, playing down expectations of an immediate breakthrough at the historic meeting.

Rodman, who has struck up an unlikely friendship with the basketball loving North Korean leader, arrived in the city-state some nine hours before Trump meets with Kim in a bid to negotiate an end to a decades-old nuclear stand-off.

He said he expected the Trump-Kim summit to "go fairly well" but added "people should not expect too much for the first time".

"I'm just happy to be a part of it," he told reporters at Changi Airport.

"I think that I brought awareness to a lot of things around the world and I think North Korea has given a lot of people the opportunity to do this conference now and I hope it's a success.

"Who knew this would have happened five to six years ago... It's exciting to be a part of it."

They will either come to no agreement or they will sign a paper whereby the US will fork over some big bucks to NK and in exchange NK will promise no more aggression.  Bur the ink won't be dry when NK reneges on its promise and continue building and launching its nukes. 

Not that it will matter to Trump.  He will still get accolades from his adoring fans and that Peace Prize he covets.

The bar of Rodman expectations for outcome and outrageousness is kind of high.
