Yesterday, Sec. Pompeo announced a very sound appointment in Steve Biegun as N. Korea negotiator & an upcoming mission to that country. Today Trump cancelled the visit,undercutting Pompeo & his new emissary in a single stroke & reminding the world that chaos rules here in the US.
It is worth noting that Biegun was one fo the people under consideration to replace H.R. McMaster prior to Bolton getting the National Security Advisor job. Not only does this have all the hallmarks of Trump mismanagement but it also should be examined for Bolton's fingerprints.
Also, Trump's jab at China is based on a.) he is looking for a scapegoat as he always does when his bombast produces non-policies that never had a chance of happening and b.) because he feels trade war with China is a bigger winner thru Nov. than Korea & wants to play that card.
