[When it comes to the U.S.-North Korea denuclearization agreement] There’s a myriad of ways that North Korea can pull it back [without an ironclad definition].

Our definition of denuclearization is that they give up all their fissile material and facilities and the nuclear material is taken out, irrevocably and verifiably.

[The meeting between Trump and Kim at the DMZ] could prove worthwhile if Mr. Kim really empowered his negotiators, but I’m skeptical. What would be the incentive for him if he can get the president of the United States to cross over into North Korea without having done very much?
