President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un 1 (launch)a diplomatic offensive in January that led to a flowering of talks with South Korea and the U.S. in 2018.
After 2 (trade) threats with America’s new president, Mr. Kim took advantage of South Korea’s hosting of the Winter Olympics to send a large delegation to the South, 3 (lead) by his younger sister. The Olympics paved the way for the first inter-Korean summit since 2007, 4 April.

Two scheduled high-level meetings were 10 (abrupt)scrapped, and follow-up plans for Mr. Kim to meet with Messrs. Trump and Moon have been pushed into 2019.
