High-ranking North Korean official Kim Kye-gwan has issued a statement on Monday saying that North Korea is not interested in talks with the US unless the Trump Administration reverses its hostility and North Korea stands to benefit from it.
In particular, Kim added that North Korea had no interest in holding direct talks with the US “just so President Trump had something to boast about.” North Korea would only have talks that bring them something.
The lack of the US giving North Korea anything in return is a big reason why talks haven’t made progress in some time. The US has expressed a willingness for more talks, but has shown no sign they’ll let North Korea get sanctions relief or anything in return.
Though there had been some talk of another summit in December, North Korea seems to be backing away from that unless the US commits to taking a different approach from the previous meetings, which were largely done with an eye toward global media praise.
“In particular, Kim added that North Korea had no interest in holding direct talks with the US “just so President Trump had something to boast about.” North Korea would only have talks that bring them something.”
It took him a while but Kim finally hit the nail on the head. It’s been all about the photo ops. So good bye talks and back(never left)to the status quo.
One way or another North and South Korea are gonna make peace the US will eventually have to recognize reality.
