Korea???

I have been looking for the quid pro quo deal that facilitated Trump's bargain with North Korea. The whole Korean conflict way back when was really a conflict with China.

I'm just asking. I have no inside knowledge. I'm really just guessing.

It helps to know a little history. I am by no means a historian, but I do remember that the real conflict, the underlying conflict in Korea had something to do with China.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Is this part of a larger deal, perhaps an informal kind of you scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours?
