The Note: With North Korea, can teardown specialist Trump build something new?

The TAKE with Rick Klein

The stage is set in perfectly Trumpian fashion. But after spending much of his time in office tearing things down, President Donald Trump’s challenge now is to build up something new – and something that will take far longer than a quick summit.

Impatience with the world order and the established norms of national security are what led Trump out of the G-7 summit early, and into Singapore at all. Now comes the ultimate test: personal diplomacy with the leader of a rogue regime who may understand the symbolism involved in statecraft as much as the president himself – and may not be in a rush.

Trump has pushed for a moment just like this. "There’s really only two options," Sen. Lindsey Graham said on ABC’s "This Week" with George Stephanopoulos, "peace or war."

As if to underscore the stakes, Graham called on his colleagues to authorize military force against the Kim Jong Un regime – as a "last resort."

The reality Trump confronts from here will be messy and almost certainly slow. For Trump, it will be a test of patience as much as one of skill.

The RUNDOWN with MaryAlice Parks

President Trump is trying to play a team sport all alone and actively rebuking allies who likely would have stood with him when dealing with North Korea.

By picking a fight with America’s closest political and trading partners at the G-7 summit, on the eve of the historic meeting with North Korea’s leader, Trump may have forgotten one key fact: the United States could be limited in the unilateral promises it can make to Kim Jong Un.

Over the last few years, the international community together agreed North Korea’s actions were threatening the entire globe. The United Nations and scores of leading countries stood unified and applied some of the strictest sanctions possible against the North Korean regime.

The U.S. celebrated the multinational action at the time.

Loosening those sanctions now or integrating the North Korean regime into the global community would likely take shared commitments – the kind the president might have made harder to achieve with his explosive reaction to the Canadian Prime Minister and European leaders.

On one hand, it's clear America's international partners all want a peaceful resolution to the North Korean crisis, too. Some experts say most European leaders would likely follow the U.S. lead.

That said, foreign policy often includes a lot of "I’ll scratch your back, if you’ll scratch mine," and Trump just gave some of the strongest nations in the world little reason to extend a hand.

What's more, the G-7 meeting could have revealed to the North Koreans just how to get under the president’s skin.

The TIP with John Verhovek

As the eyes of the world are fixed on the Trump-Kim summit in Singapore, the 2018 primary is continuing its methodical march toward the first major election of the Trump presidency.

Five states hold primaries Tuesday, but expect most eyes to be trained on the Commonwealth of Virginia, where a nasty GOP primary for the U.S. Senate, largely revolving around loyalty to President Trump, has devolved into accusations of race-baiting and questionable political associations between the top two contenders to take on Democratic incumbent Tim Kaine.

Virginia voters no doubt remember one of those contenders, the often controversial and boisterous Corey Stewart, who very nearly was the Republican nominee for governor in 2017, losing by fewer than 5,000 votes to former GOP party chairman Ed Gillespie. Stewart is running as a die-hard Trump-loyalist, and recently called for the firing of special counsel Robert Mueller.

While Republicans squabble in the race for Kaine's seat, Democrats are eyeing a diverse array of U.S. House seats in Virginia, including the always competitive 10th district in the Washington, D.C., suburbs, currently held by GOP Rep. Barbara Comstock.

Six Democrats, four of whom are women, are vying for the chance to unseat Comstock, including one candidate running an ad comparing President Trump to Osama Bin Laden, a striking claim to make as the commander in chief is embarked on his most consequential foreign policy mission yet.
