President Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un will hold talks in Singapore on Monday night, the first time a sitting U.S. president has agreed to meet with a North Korean leader. President Trump, who has said he wants “normalization” with the North, is expected to discuss U.S. demands for long-term denuclearization. We’ll discuss the summit and what’s at stake for peace on the Korean peninsula.

Guests:
Ambassador Kathleen Stephens, William J. Perry fellow, Asia-Pacific Research Center at Stanford University, former U.S. ambassador to the Republic of Korea 2008 to 2011
Philip Yun, executive director and chief operating officer, Ploughshares Fund; former vice president at the Asia Foundation and a senior policy adviser at the U.S. State Department
