THREAD: 1) either we have a scenario whereby Xi and Kim met with no coordination with the US ( that's what the sloppy WH press statement implies) or Press Sec made us look unnecessarily out of the loop. Either way bad for us.
-
2) The ambiguous Chinese "message" to
@potus referenced in the statement also makes no sense. Did Xi confirm the Trump/ Kim meeting or not? Trump blasted out the private message from Kim to meet a few weeks ago but now Press Sec is being tight lipped but alluding to a message? -
3) The fact of Kim/ Xi meeting isn't a bad thing - I was remember times when enemies met with a 3rd party and we helped coordinate, do planning behind the scenes with the 3rd party to ensure we were on the same page/ there were no surprises. We didn't need to physically be there.
-
4) The rub is if the Chinese and DPRK met, we didn't coordinate with them in advance AND our
@ODNIgov intel is so bad that we didn't know it was happening until it happened? -

We may have known about this if we had a Secretary of State

Or an ambassador to South Korea

中国国务院于2011年针对地方交易所颁布38号政令,规定省级政府“采取有效措施,确保投资者资金安全”;云南省长陈豪在全国两会时就云南政府发起成立并监管的泛亚交易所事件向中外媒体承诺“坚决维护投资者合法权益”。总理和省长你们的职责、政令和承诺是否担当?你们将恪尽职守的宣誓是否真心?pic.twitter.com/Dr8jFp7Q2T

China's president is actually his boss. NK is nothing without China.
-
But the boss doesn't dare to offend his employee, I'm afraid. NK's nuclear weapons are also aimed at its primary patron. If Mr. Kim thinks China fails him, the little rock man will bring own fury and fire to northeastern China.

Good evening!
That secret meeting we were all advised of this morning, then his train and limo paraded into China? That "secret" meeting? -

I wouldn’t call it “secret” if it’s all over official Chinese news ...
