There has been speculation that this week’s summit could see an end to the conflict between North Korea and the US, which started at the end of the Korean War in 1953. Some analysts fear the symbolic gesture would have consequences and upset the political balance in a region where the US and China are struggling for influence. Pressure has also mounted on Trump to deliver more concrete results and follow-up on agreements made at last year’s summit in Singapore.
