How Trump caught his White House and the world by surprise

When White House aides arrived at work Thursday, they were prepared for a market-shaking event that would prompt jitters among US allies and cause heartburn among establishment thinkers, even Republicans.
They weren't prepared for two such events.
President Donald Trump sent shock waves across the globe when he accepted an invitation from North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un for talks. No sitting US president has ever met with a leader from North Korea. The move represents the largest gamble to date for two truculent leaders who have engaged in a harrowing nuclear stare-down.

It also caught presidential advisers -- who had been hurriedly finalizing details on steel tariffs while also attempting to stave off unsavory questions about a porn actress -- off-guard.
