North Korean Foreign Ministry advisor Kim Kye Gwan issued a statement on Friday warning that the nation is pessimistic about there being another Trump-Kim summit any time soon, saying they don’t see a breakthrough on talks as likely.
While Kim generally praised Trump in the statement, he also said the US
has remained “obsessed” with sanctions and full denuclearization and was
unwilling to make sincere efforts to build trust.
That has been a recurring complaint from North Korea, that they’ve made
moves to bolster confidence in their process, but that all the US does
is escalate sanctions and threats.
The statement closed with a call for President Trump to make a “bold decision” to make a serious effort to calm down tensions and get the agreements reached at past summits going.
Mister Kim could maker substantial efforts at reducing the nuclear arsenal, but that matters little if US-led regime change is the ultimate goal. Many ways to repel domestic resistance and mass starvation through sanctions is but one method.
