South Korean President Moon Jae-in announced Thursday that North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un is prepared to fully denuclearize the Korean peninsula without demanding “impossible” concessions; a major victory for President Trump ahead of next month’s summit.
According to Reuters, the South Korean leader unveiled his high-stakes discussions with Kim regarding a permanent end of the Korean War, saying the dictator will not demand the complete removal of US forces in the region as a pre-condition for abandoning his weapons program.
“North Korea is expressing a will for a complete denuclearization,” said Moon following the meetings.
“They have not attached any conditions that the U.S. cannot accept, such as the withdrawal of American troops from South Korea. All they are expressing is the end of hostile policies against North Korea, followed by a guarantee of security,” he added.
The announcement comes just weeks before President Trump is set to talk with North Korean despot Kim Jong Un; the first face-to-face meeting between the leaders of both nations in history.
If this is true…even I gotta stand up and say this is a good thing. Trump handled this well in my opinion. But…he Will turn right around and ■■■■ it up by tweeting something reprehensible about Kim…and that will be that. I hope he takes the high road.
I am no fan of Trump but if he can help to bring about a significant change of how NK interacts with SK and the rest of the world i will be among the first to give him the credit.
Interesting. Was the same standard of acceptance used in evaluation of the Iran nuclear agreement recently made? Were there headlines here then: “AYATOLLAH CAVES” ? At that point there were signed documents followed shortly by verified actions. Here, the US has what, exactly?
