While there's a possibility that the leaders of the U.S. and North Korea might declare an end to the Korean War at this week's summit, experts sounded a strong warning that the move could have 'real political consequences.'

There's a possibility that U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un might declare an end to the Korean War at this week's summit — but experts warn that the move could have"real political consequences" for the U.S., and South Korea will still have to keep the North in check.

Declaring an end to the war"may seem like a positive way to signal American goodwill without risk or cost, a closer examination suggests that such a declaration is unlikely to succeed and could have real political consequences for the United States," Denmark wrote in an online post on the think tank's website on Tuesday.

"Declaring an end to the Korean War would not change these realities," said Denmark, who added that this is why the U.S. has maintained a strong alliance with South Korea, which includes a military presence ready to defend its allies against North Korea. The American public still perceives North Korea as one of the top threats to the U.S, and experts say that a U.S. alliance with South Korea is still needed.

Progress has been scant since Trump’s last summit with North Korean leaderIn the eight months since President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un held their first nuclear summit, Kim's government has done little to curtail its development of nuclear weapons. That raises the stakes when they meet again next week in Vietnam. No missiles being fired over our allies in Japan is progress. MAGA No rocket testing or nuclear tests, remains returned and hostages released, plus a second meeting with Kim about to happen. Seems like great progress to me.
