US special representative for North Korea Stephen Biegun warned on Wednesday that time is running out for the US to make a deal with North Korea, saying that the US views the window as closing even though they don’t accept Kim Jong Un’s year end deadline.
Biegun further warned that he has seen no “concrete evidence” that North Korea actually intends to disarm, and that North Korea needs to convince the US of that very soon for talks to continue.
This is a shift in US position on the matter, as President Trump and others previously suggested that they were willing to be patient on North Korea, but now Biegun is suggesting there is a tight timetable for North Korea to capitulate.
This isn’t likely to matter, as North Korea’s position has been that they will not return to the talks without the US changing their position and being willing to give something in return for disarmament progress. There is no sign that the US will consider that, instead seeming to assume it can out-wait North Korea and get them to accept the US position.
Man, when the world turns on U.S it’ll be like a ton of bricks.
What deal is that, on which time is running out?
There is none. The US has offered nothing.
The US has demanded everything it has always demanded, but offered nothing. That isn’t a “deal.”
There’s DEFINITELY no concrete evidence that the US intends to disarm, and overwhelming evidence of the contrary. The only way to have peace is for the aggressor to leave… withdraw from Korea, US!
“Biegun further warned that he has seen no “concrete evidence” that North Korea actually intends to disarm, and that North Korea needs to convince the US of that very soon for talks to continue.”
North Korea has seen no evidence that the US intends to remove sanctions or stop sticking its nose into Korean affairs.
