After the Trump–Kim summit in Singapore, some asked whether the meeting was a success. Well, depending on who you ask, you will definitely get different answers. Nevertheless, even those die-hard haters of President Donald Trump would have to agree that our world, and particularly the nation of Japan and American soldiers in Asia, are safer now than they were before this historic meeting.

However, if we look at this development on the Korean Peninsula from another perspective and with more parties considered, we might draw a conclusion that the summit is a good start, maybe a great start, and the climax and further implications of the summit have yet to come.
