“If I think that if it’s a meeting that is not going to be fruitful we’re not going to go. If the meeting when I’m there is not fruitful I will respectfully leave the meeting,” Trump told a news conference. He also said that a U.S.-led “maximum pressure” campaign of tough economic sanctions on North Korea would continue until the isolated nation “denuclearizes.”
Abe echoed the sentiment.
“Just because North Korea is responding to dialogue, there should be no reward. Maximum pressure should be maintained,” he said.

Trump, the great negotiator, doesn't realize he already gave up one of his biggest chips? He doesn't realize that he and US have lost if he comes away with anything other than full capitulation from North Korea (and based on history, North Korea won't do that)? No, Trump probably doesn't since he supremely unqualified for the job he holds.
Trump's knee jerk "sure I'll meet with him" reaction was stupid and incompetent. Now his whinny "maybe I won't go" is weak and incompetent. Trump has placed himself in a situation whose most likely outcomes are lose and lose because he does not know what he is doing, he doesn't think about the ramifications of his actions and he doesn't listen to the advice of anyone around him...what a great businessman and negotiator.
