With the Trump Administration continuing to not offer any concessions as part of denuclearization, North Korea’s Ambassador Kim Song says that the whole denuclearization process is effectively off of the negotiating table.
The ambassador said that at this point, with the US still not willing to make concessions, no substantial dialogue is really needed, and the US is just pushing such talks for its domestic political agenda.
North Korea has been pushing the US for a new approach for months now, with no sign that was ever going to happen. President Trump warned on Sunday that Kim risks losing “everything” if he backs away from denuclearization.
Yet with Kim having set a year’s end deadline for reviving the talks, and the US refusing to offer anything as part of the deals, there is little sign North Korea is going to come back to the talks any time soon. That doesn’t automatically mean new hostility, but any progress from past talks is likely lost, and any future talks would be starting over.
When will the mighty USA start offering concessions, or even stop sanctions and threats, just for a possible try at negotiating or even -gasp-considering the chance of some sort of peace breaking out in the world??
Never. Or at least until the almighty dollar finally loses it’s role as the world’s reserve currency and the US economy implodes.
This is what happens when one side comes to the negotiating table with the expectation of accomplishing every goal of the negotiations to happen as soon as they sit down. And those goals are for the other side to get nothing other than the assurance that we won’t bomb them into oblivion as long as they capitulate to our every demand. We also reserve the right to lift that “assurance” at our whim.
You mean like how organized crime does it ?
