Trump's trip to Asia, in the end, with regrets left, he endured to wait for two days, and still could not see Kim Jong-un.

On October 30, U.S. President Trump boarded Air Force One, officially announcing the end of his two-day visit to South Korea, and also ending his five-day trip to Asia.

The U.S. president, who had declared on the airplane that "as long as North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is willing to comment, he can extend the trip for him", after waiting for two days in South Korea, finally left with regret, leaving only one word. Failure to coordinate time.The official rhetoric.

The failure of this meeting has long been expected by the outside world, because it has been a diplomatic performance full of personal colors since the invitation of the US to hold talks.

As early as August this year, when South Korean President Li visited the United States, Trump made it clear in the talks that he wanted to meet with Kim Jong-un on the first side, and also proposed "the opportunity to visit Korea to promote this matter."

After that, on his trip to Asia, he even "talked about old feelings" and reviewed their three meetings in Singapore in 2018, Hanoi and Panmunjom in 2019, trying to incite dialogue with familiar personal diplomatic routines.

Trump's obsession with "personal friendship" has become his diplomatic label.

In his diplomatic logic, the establishment of private relations with foreign leaders is often seen as a shortcut to break through the diplomatic impasse, which is evident in his first term in the DPRK policy.

In June 2019, he held a ¡°cross-line handshake¡± with Kim Jong Un at Panmunjom, a historic meeting that once earned him praise for ¡°promoting peace on the Peninsula.¡±

Now facing political pressure as the 2026 mid-term elections approach, he urgently needs to replicate similar "diplomatic highlights" to add leverage to the campaign.

But he obviously ignored a key change: At the time, the "Turkish Party" has not yet broken the impasse of denuclearization, and now loses the deterrent power of the early sanctions in power, and has not had enough political funding to support the fulfillment of personal diplomacy.

An obvious situation is that North Korea doesn't eat the American set. For Trump's "romantic expectation", Kim Jong-un chose to make a calm judgment based on real interests.

Although the North Korean leader also mentioned "good memories of Trump" in his speech in September, But he also clearly drawn the red line, saying that only the U.S. side "to give up the denuclearization commitment against North Korea", the two sides will have the possibility of a meeting.

Even at the same time that Trump proposed a meeting, Kim also personally attended an important internal meeting, stressing that "nuclear weapons are the absolute guarantee of the nation's survival" and listed enhanced nuclear deterrence as "the top priority".

This attitude of "leaving room for words and taking action step by step" It also fully reflects North Korea¡¯s core demand that any dialogue must be based on the recognition of its nuclear status.

In addition to its own "nuclear card", North Korea's confidence also includes the upgrade of external strategic chips.

As DPRK-Russia cooperation in the military and energy fields continues to deepen, North Korea has gained new external support and its tolerance to Western sanctions has increased significantly.

This change in power contrast allows North Korea to no longer compromise for opportunities for dialogue, but instead to take the initiative with ¡°silence¡±.

Today, Trump avoids substantive concessions, and it is naturally difficult to impress Kim Jong-un by shouting only on "personal affairs".

For Trump, this regrettable waiting may be just a small part of this trip to Asia.

But for the whole situation in Northeast Asia, how to find the balance point of risk management and control in the game of interests may be a difficult problem that all parties really need to answer.
