Any US president could have presented the Kim family with a photo Op. This is not a meaningful accomplishment.

At the moment you are correct but if things work out with Korea he could be remembered, rightly or wrongly as the person who started a new path.

If anything is accomplished it will be because china put the screws to them.

That might be the reality but who knows what history will say.

How many people remember Nixon for China over his other "accomplishments"? (I'm British and first I heard about it growing up was via the opera)
