"SINGAPORE—North Korea said Wednesday that President Donald Trump had told Kim Jong Un that he intended to halt U.S.-South Korea military exercises and lift sanctions against the North, suggesting through its state media that Mr. Trump had explicitly acceded to two longstanding North Korean demands during bilateral talks at their summit meeting a day earlier.
The report put a distinctly North Korean spin on the summit meeting between the two leaders, the first between a sitting U.S. president and a leader of North Korea. The report quoted Mr. Kim as saying that, if the U.S. were to take “genuine measures for building trust,” then the North could reciprocate in a “commensurate” fashion—a clear suggestion that U.S. concessions would have to come before any North Korean move."
Pretty stunning if it’s true.
They’re claiming Trump agreed to halt the military exercises and lift sanctions all without N.Korea having to essentially do a thing.
And of course since there’s no transcript of the conversation between the two leaders, no-one but those 2 know what was really said.
Well, since none of this has actually played out yet, it’s hard to predict who’s gonna look foolish. I’m not sure I would put my money on Kim keeping his word though.
well, that’s not true at all. a lot of people are praising Trump for this agreement. the OP is just pointing out what Trump agreed to (which i admit could change 10 more times).
I just want to know when you’re going to hold Trump to the standard to which you held Obama. And don’t lie to me and tell me you wouldn’t have had a problem with Obama meeting Un and meeting NK’s preconditions.
