"By saying he wouldn’t allow American intelligence to cultivate an asset so close to Kim, he’s saying he wouldn’t use spying to better understand the country’s biggest overseas challenge.
Put another way, he’s ruling out having the best information possible headed into high-stakes negotiations. Tying one hand behind your back like this makes sense only if you have a messianic belief in your own negotiating prowess—which Trump does, despite the collapse of the most recent round of talks.
It might be a moot point, however, because by responding this way, Trump is sending a clear message to any would-be informants: The United States doesn’t have your back.
Why would any other North Korean take the risk of ending up like Kim Jong Nam?
Kim Jong Nam’s assassination wasn’t just Kim killing his brother and rival; it wasn’t even just North Korea using chemical weapons in a foreign country. It was North Korea killing an American intelligence asset in the early days of the Trump administration, a test of the new president’s resolve."

LOL just more BS fake news from an unnamed source again, but it had nothing to do with anything the CIA had said and Trump said nothing that would make a sane person believe Trump sided with NK over the CIA. Why must you post such blatant BS lies?

Because the left is SOS. Stuck On Stupid.
Like the fake news the half brother worked for the CIA.
All intended to shake up N Korea. Create paranoia. Distrust. Chaos.
Lefties do not understand the Asian mind nor strategy. Or the art of the deal.

You need to look for true stuff to post instead of this garbage.

You don’t break from protocol while making a deal.
"DANANG, Vietnam, Nov 11 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said he believed President Vladimir Putin when he denied accusations that Russia meddled in last year’s U.S. election, despite U.S. intelligence agencies’ conclusion of Russian interference.
Trump made the comment after he and Putin met briefly at a summit."

What does this have to do with your current fake news about Trump, the CIA and NK?

It is indicative of his integrity, his allegiance to this country, and his intentions.

I think it's indicative of his 'lack' of integrity and allegiance to this country.

It has zero to do with it. The left does not get it that we are trying to forge an agreement with Russia so you may say something publicly to let them save face that you do not believe. It is called diplomacy, another thing the left does not possess.

Trump ask for help from Russia during the election.
He conspired with Russia to meddle in our election.
