“When history comes calling you answer the door. You simply have no choice. You just never know when the bell will go off again.” That’s the situation President Trump faced Thursday when he got an invitation to meet with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un – and he did the right thing and answered the door.
The quote above comes from my friend and mentor, the late Dr. William Martel, one of Gov. Mitt Romney’s top foreign policy strategists when Romney ran for president. Martel always had a way with words, and I can picture him telling President Trump to answer the door – but remain very, very cautious.
The bell that rang for President Trump was a stunner. Kim Jong Un has reached out, and President Trump has accepted a peace overture to have a face-to-face meeting sometime before May. Incredible.
If this historic summit happens – and that is still a big if – President Trump will have achieved a feat no one ever thought possible. This would be a chance to make history on par with President Nixon going to China and the collapse of the Soviet Union. Our grandchildren and their grandchildren would learn about this in school.
