Chris Hayes on Trump-Kim meeting: ‘Who knows if it means anything at all?’
Tonight’s North Korea announcement is the quintessential Trump WH news event. It’s definitely news! It’s surprising! It could be a big deal! But who knows if it means anything at all?
Remains a challenge to figure out how best to cover.

“President Trump appreciated the briefing and said he would meet Kim Jong Un by May to achieve permanent denuclearization,” Eui-yong told reporters.
The president also took to Twitter to hail the unprecedented meeting.
Kim Jong Un talked about denuclearization with the South Korean Representatives, not just a freeze. Also, no missile testing by North Korea during this period of time. Great progress being made but sanctions will remain until an agreement is reached. Meeting being planned!

“Kim Jong Un talked about denuclearization with the South Korean Representatives, not just a freeze,” Trump wrote to his 48.4 million followers. “Also, no missile testing by North Korea during this period of time. Great progress being made but sanctions will remain until an agreement is reached. Meeting being planned!”
If Trump meets with Kim, he would become the first U.S. president to ever meet with a North Korean leader while in office.
A location for the meeting is still being planned.
