was kind of a last minute affair between the two leaders right on the border this next summit in pyongyang is certainly expected to be a huge affair a lot of sea and a lot of symbolism of. trying to make amends so a lot of pageantry of off symbolism this meeting coming up we think in september between the north and south poles a high profile summit between conjunct and the u.s. president donald trump back in june are we any closer analogy last to seeing the denuclearization of north korea. i think even optimists realize that that's a goal that is likely to take years if not decades to north korea in recent weeks has increased some of its rhetoric criticizing state soul in the united nations over talk of the need for that is ation so while it says it is committed to the needs there's ation of the korean peninsula there doesn't seem to have been off whole lot of movement since some of those summits so this is definitely one of the challenges for not only the south korean president but also officials around the world to try to make progress on in the coming months josh thank you very much for
