ABSTRACT
The 2nd U.S.-North Korea Summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and North
Korean leader Kim Jong Un was held in Hanoi, Vietnam on February 27 and 28, 2019.
However, no agreement was made despite high expectations before the summit. The
author of this paper, who was involved in the press conference following the summit
as an interpreter for a Japanese TV program in Tokyo, recognized that Trump, who
often criticizes some media outlets, calling them “fake news”, handled the press respectfully.
To answer the question why there is a gap between his attitudes toward various media
outlets, this paper examines the interactions between the president and all 21 reporters
who were allowed to ask him questions during the Hanoi press conference, focusing
on their questions, the organizations they belonged to, and some personal details.
President Trump’s extremely well-calculated media strategy is then revealed.
KEYWORDS
