Gipfeltreffen in Singapur US-Präsident Donald Trump und Nordkoreas Machthaber Kim Jong Un zelebrieren den Gipfel von Singapur als Erfolg. Was genau im Verlauf des rund fünf Stunden andauernden Gesprächs vereinbart wurde, scheint indes den Protagonisten selbst nicht ganz klar zu sein. Die USA wollen, so Trump, zu­mindest für die Dauer der Verhandlungen auf Mili­tärübungen mit Südkorea verzichten. Kim seiner­seits signalisierte Bereitschaft zur„kompletten Denuklearisierung der koreanischen Halbinsel“. Kritiker des US-Präsidenten bemängeln seinen Verzicht auf einen konkreten Fahrplan für Nordko­reas atomare Abrüstung.

Mideast'friends' beware: With North Korea, Trump just proved how easily he’ll sell out America’s allies (…) Trump does not look at the world in terms that usually shape U.S. presidential doctrines(…). Ra­ther, he evaluates everything by one metric: What does any possible outcome mean for him personal­ly?(…) It is for this reason that Trump(…) em­braced one of the world’s most odious, murderous, corrupt human beings in Singapore because he thought it might make him look better and distract from his legal problems at home in the U.S.(…) Trump laid on the concessions to Kim like a car dealer trying offering options in a hard-sell to a buy­er.

But Trump(…) didn’t consider(…) the risks associated with suspending what he disparagingly termed"war games" or offering to send troops home. Because those risks are risks Americans and our allies would face. Trump personally won’t be hurt by them at all. So to him, they were freebies, easy giveaways.(…) A deal is only as good as it is for him as long as it is good for him.(…) So, to Bibi Netanyahu and the leaders of the Gulf, ask not for whom the news from Donald Trump’s Washington tolls, because sooner or later it will toll for thee. David Rothkopf, HAA, 12.06.18 Singapore summit won’t bring peace on earth, but it does prevent a war (…) the fact that the parties made trust-building moves even before the historic summit in Singapore gives us a reason to believe that both of them(…) are seriously intending on performing a strategic and reliable change in their relations.(…) We mustn’t have any illusions.
