After President Donald Trumps surprise announcement on Thursday that he had agreed to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, some conservatives wondered why they were abandoning the position they took with President Barack Obama.
Obamas comments in 2008 and 2009 about talking to strong men without preconditions, and his efforts to work with both North Korea and Cubas communist governments were greeted by conservatives with scorn. So it seemed odd to some on the right that Trump doing the same was being fêted as a victory for American foreign policy.
Im not certain why meeting with Kim without preconditions is suddenly a grand coup when we would have gone nuts had Obama done the same, said conservative pundit Ben Shapiro, who criticized Obama back in 2009 and is now often critical of Trump.
National Reviews Jim Geraghty wondered the same. Remember how much we condemned then-senator Barack Obamas pledge to meet separately, without precondition, during the first year of your administration, in Washington or anywhere else, with the leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba and North Korea, in order to bridge the gap that divides our countries? That wasnt wrong, Geraghty wrote.
