There is no way to look at this other than a massive win for North Korea at the expense of the US world standing.
If Russia aren't paying Trump to do this then he is just an idiot.
What about the decreased risk of a nuclear war with North Korea? That's a little something, no?
There was never any risk of nuclear war with North Korea except through reckless American action of a type typical of trump and advocated by John Bolton to make the Kim regime feel immediate existential threat.
To avoid nuclear war he didn’t need to give away anything, except reigning in his Twitter storms and read diplomatically written scripts prepared for him by adults.
