"Our challenge now candidly is to continue to make progress but to make that progress in an environment that is essentially void of trust, and without trust we'll find it difficult to move forward."

-Gen. Vincent Brooks, Commander, United States Forces Korea.

But there is trust! Between Kim and Trump there is trust. The negotiations on the nitty gritty of denuclearization should not be conducted by Mike Pompeo and Kim Yong Chol. Pompeo and Kim Young Chol are hard line assholes, there is no trust between them.

In private, Trump vents frustration over lack of

progress on North Korea(WaPo)

Denuclearization negotiations should be conducted, and "conducted" is le mot juste, by those in whom there is mutual trust, Donald Trump and Kim Jong un. 

The s.o.p. for these things is that the nitty gritty be made smooth by seconds. Trump does not know his asshole from a nuclear hole in the ground (He called the New START agreement with Russia the "Start Up.") and would get lost. That does not preclude him from conducting the meeting. The two sides should bring their asshole seconds with them to a meeting jointly chaired by Trump and Kim Jong un. 

There are some details that you don't have to be a nuclear scientist to understand: 

Trump can ask Kim face-to-face, "You told me in Singapore you would return the bodies. They haven't been returned and your guy is arguing with my guy about paying the expenses! How much is it? Here, I'll write a check. Return them now! Who is your guy in charge of returning bodies? Tell him right now with me here 'Return the bodies, I have a check from Trump.'" 

"You're rebuilding a nuclear facility. Who's your guy in charge of rebuilding nuclear facilities? Tell him right now in front of me to stop rebuilding and start re-destroying that nuclear facility.

When the nitty gritty details are discussed all Trump has to do is ask if that detail is consistent with denuclearization or inconsistent with denuclearization. If consistent, then ask Kim, "Will you do that by date?" If inconsistent, "Chairman Kim, will you stop doing that immediately? Tell your guy whatever his name is right now in front of me 'Stop doing that right now.'" 

This thing is going to get lost if the nitty gritty details are left to the seconds.Trump does not play by the s.o.p., he should not all of a sudden play by the s.o.p. here.
