A sitting president of the United States has never met with North Korea because American policy since the armistice of 1953 has been to regard it as a rogue regime. Regardless, prior administrations coordinated aid, monitoring and investigations until the relationship broke down in 2002 (11 months after Bush's "Axis of Evil" speech). Trump is not the first President to be asked to meet as equals. He's the first to agree. He's also the first to suggest that war with/over North Korea would be a good idea. Clinton had a nuclear freeze and regular inspections. Obama had a moratorium on missile tests. Trump? Trump's the president North Korea threatened with a "strike to the heart". I'm not sure we agree on the definition of "feckless."
