Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump's stunning decision to meet Kim Jong Un sets up the prospect of the most mind-boggling diplomatic summit in modern history. "President Trump has made his reputation on making deals," said one senior administration official. If it goes ahead, Trump's meeting with Kim would go down in history alongside such diplomatic coups as Richard Nixon's courting of Mao Zedong's China. Moon's government, elected on a platform of engagement with North Korea, has scored the political victory of delivering on that promise. But it will take time and work before the US and North Korea can get to the point of negotiating, analysts and officials say.
