Trump did say he "probably" would bring up human rights when he meets with the North Korean leader — "and maybe in great detail." The delicate balancing of U.S. needs and alliances with the promotion of human rights abroad has long bedeviled American leaders. While Trump has made gestures toward human rights issues in North Korea, those efforts have largely been designed to increase pressure on the country's government. Kim is on a Treasury Department blacklist for human rights abuses and is likely to seek removal from the list as a concession. White House officials have pushed back publicly against the notion that Trump has deprioritized international human rights.
