2020 Democratic candidates pan Trump's North Korea visit
By Alexander Bolton - 06/30/19 12:58 PM EDT
Democrats running for president on Sunday panned President Trump for stepping onto North Korean soil, then meeting with the nation's leader Kim Jong Un as ill-conceived and a waste of American bargaining power.
Trump made history on Sunday by becoming the first sitting U.S. president to set foot in North Korea. He and Kim then met for a surprise negotiation session that lasted about 50 minutes on the South Korean side of the Demilitarized Zone.
The president hailed the meeting as an important breakthrough that will improve future communication between the two countries, and asserted it was an achievement that former President Barack Obama had grasped at futilely.
Democrats immediately went on the attack Sunday morning, painting the meeting as an amateur move unlikely to produce any meaningful agreement on North Korea’s nuclear weapons and ballistic missile testing program.
