Sitting with Putin, but what is the agenda?

With the sounds of victory trumpets still hanging in the air over the thrilling summit in Singapore with North Korean Kim Jong-un, U.S. President Donald Trump is preparing for yet another extra-sensational melodrama in the coming days _ his pre-election wish to have a one-on-one big meeting with Vladimir Putin.

AT&T and the case for digital innovation

A good way to guarantee you'll be wrong about something is to predict the future of technology. As in, “One day, we'll all ....” Experts can hazard guesses about artificial intelligence, driverless cars or the death of cable television, but technological innovation and societal change aren't orderly.

Giving much and getting little

Let's begin with the good news. Tuesday's Singapore summit between President Donald Trump and North Korea's leader Kim Jung-un could have been a disaster, and it wasn't. What's more, there remains the hope _ slender, but real _ that the conversation and resulting joint statement by the two leaders could be a springboard to future diplomacy.

President Trump got played at Singapore summit

President Donald Trump got played. After all the hoopla and pageantry and Trump braggadocio at the Singapore summit, with Kim Jong-un standing alongside the U.S. president in front of thousands of journalists, the North Korean leader came out the winner.

Tone changes over US-NK relationship

The Singapore summit between the U.S. and North Korean leaders was an unqualified success. Much still remains to be done in order to follow up on the promises in the joint statement. This was to be expected.

Considering the rarity of President Donald Trump departing any recent summit meeting with a smile on his face, Tuesday's session with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un was remarkable for the mere fact that it happened _ and ended cordially. Whether it proves a historic achievement depends on whether Kim honors his commitments.
