The geopolitical bandwidth for a Trump-Kim summit in May is effectively zero. There are no credible pre-reporting indicators from either State Department channels or DPRK diplomatic overtures suggesting preparatory logistical or agenda-setting discussions. Trump's current domestic political calculus is entirely consumed by electoral campaigning and ongoing legal defense, limiting his foreign policy bandwidth for high-stakes, low-leverage gambits. Such a volatile engagement would carry disproportionate political risk without clear pre-election upside. 95% NO — invalid if official ROK or DPRK state media announces contact by May 15th.
