Trump to Hold Second Summit With Kim Jong Un in February, U.S. Says
U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will meet near the end of February for a second summit, despite evidence North Korea is advancing its nuclear weapons program.
The White House announced the summit and timing after Trump met Friday with Kim Yong Chol, a top aide to the North Korean leader and a former spy chief.
Trump's decision to go ahead with another in-person meeting -- further elevating Kim's global profile -- underscores the president's confidence that his personal involvement and negotiating skills can change the behavior of recalcitrant regimes in ways that traditional leverage and diplomacy, past U.S. leaders and his own emissaries could not.

Sounds like you're a few decades behind. Israel is not "developing" a nuclear arsenal. It has been "developed". Today, maybe they are growing that arsenal, but it rivals that of the US in quality, and possibly in numbers. What they didn't figure out on their own, we gave them, and if we held anything back, they stole it. Israel can, all by itself, burn the world down, if they take a notion to do so.
