Thailand Backs The Big “Trump‑Kim” Pow‑Pow
Can the Land of Smiles Host the T‑Shaped Talk?
Thailand’s Foreign Minister, Don Pramudwinai, is all‑in for a show‑stopper between President “D.C.” (Donald Clever) Trump and North Korea’s chief ramen‑chef, Kim Jong Un. He said the country is ready and “can handle it” – but only if we actually get a call‑out. No one’s pulled the trigger yet.
What the U.S. Says
The U.S. embassy shrugged and opted for a “no comment” attitude.
Trump recently bragged that five places were up for grabs “probably in early June.” He didn’t decide between Mongolia “safari style,” Scandinavia “frosty vibe,” or Singapore “rain‑forest chic.”
Analysts think the offer is a bit like a “maybe” – sweet, but no hard sell on nuclear disarmament.
Korea Suzies the Countdown
Kim is set to brew a spicy partnership with South Korean President Moon Jae In on April 27 – a crucial pre‑flight to the bigger Trump‑Kim conversation.
The U.S. wants a deal that sounds less like a “Guess‑who’s in the room” speech and more like “We all get away from here”.
Thai‑wards of the Summit
Thailand’s a long‑time ally of the U.S. and also plays nice with Pyongyang.
Prawit Wongsuwon, the second‑in‑command of Thailand’s junta, is currently in the U.S., catching up with Defense Secretary James Mattis and senior Homeland Security officials.
Meanwhile, over at Pyongyang – the “North” as opposed to “south elbow,” one moment it’s softening on nuclear tests and ICBM launches, and the next it’s testing the narrative limits.
The Bottom Line
Analysts are split: some see this as a “whisper before the roar” – a polite nod to potential deals. Others worry it’s just a good‑storyy pancake on top of a molten volcano.
Either way, the buzz remains – could Thailand’s dusty roads host a moment that might change the world?
The answer might still be on the drafts table, but the drama sure has the lights on.
