Read the following passage and answer the questions below: After the striking political theater that unfolded recently at the forbidding border between North South Korea, it seems almost mean-spirited to cast aspersions on Kim Jong-un's motives or to apprehensive about talks Mr. Kim is expected to have in a few weeks with President Trump. These contacts, after all, stand in stark contrast to the scary talk of nuclear exchanges of only a few moths ago, and meeting face-to-face seems better than saber rattling Mr. Kim's meeting with the dovish South Korean President. Moon Jee-in, was heady stuff, minutely choreographed to stir the hopes and longings of a nation bitterly divided for seventy years. Every scene was suffused with symbolism; the joint steps across the concrete slab that marks the border, which no member of the Kim dynasty had ever breached before; the banter and the hand-holding; the soil heaped on a tree planted when the Korean War ended in an armistice in 1953; the honor guard in 19 century imperial robes. The "Panmunjom Declaration" signed by two leaders was similarly upbeat, promising to rid the Korean peninsula of nuclear weapons and to finally negotiate a peace treaty.
