Summit: Too soon to tell

-

President Trump is catching hell from the liberals because he now appears to be treating North Korea better than he’s treating our Canadian trading partners. “The Godfather’s” Michael Corleone said, “Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.” Canada is our friend but is taking advantage of some terrible trade agreements. North Korea is still an enemy that we need to convert. Denny Cannon, Littleton

Congratula­tions to President Trump and his team on concluding a very hopeful agreement with Kim Jong Un. North Korea has a long history of deceit and worse. We all understand, therefore, that this agreement alone does not guarantee that denucleari­zation will actually occur in North Korea, but it is a positive beginning, for which the president deserves full credit. Osborne Dykes, Denver

Watching President Trump hovering over Kim Jon Un and treating him with such admiration and respect was the most despicable and degrading episode in the long list of incomprehe­nsible and deplorable things Trump has done — except, of course, the way he offended our allies at the G7 Summit.

How can he say that “it was an honor to meet Kim,” a dictator, despot, violator of human rights and the executione­r of his own uncle, half-brother and thousands of his own people? Does Trimp have an ounce of dignity, self-respect and common decency? Carmen Gorgas, Denver

“Fox & Friends” co-host Abby Huntsman certainly owed an abject apology to the world as well as to the statesman mischaract­erized when she erroneousl­y said that the meeting between President Trump and Kim Jong Un of North Korea would be one of “two dictators.”

Mr. Kim is, in fact, a “supreme leader.” Victor Castellani, Denver
