1. Trump, Kim meeting Is preferable to disastrous alternative
From The Atlantic: It could be worse if we didn’t try to talk to North Korea.
2. Godspeed, Trump and Kim. What's the backup plan?
From Bloomberg: Just what will we get when we don’t get denuclearization?
3. Here’s how Trump’s summit with North Korea could succeed
