After the meeting in Singapore was Donald Trump enthusiastic. He explained that the world has become more peaceful and that north Korea is no longer a nuclear threat against the united states.
But when he now, eight months later, hits Kim Jong-Un for a second time has not very much happened. North korea still has nuclear weapons and the U.S. department of defense has not changed its view that north Korea is a major threat to the united states and its allies.
Actually, it is perhaps not so strange. Despite the fact that Donald Trump called the meeting in Singapore for the fantastic featured final declaration extremely vague wording about ”work for the total elimination of nuclear weapons on the Korean peninsula”. No concrete timetable on how to get there was not. No common definition of what disarmament means.
the two leaders, who say they love each other, have different objectives to meet. For Kim Jong-Un is about to win respect on the world stage and, with vague promises to get the economic sanctions against the country to light. The best thing for him would be that north Korea became a recognized nuclear power.
It goes counter to Donald Trump’s the goal, to really get north Korea to do away with nuclear weapons, even if he played down expectations about a week ago when he said that there is not any hurry to reach that goal.
no where can it be imagined that he will try to attract with economic carrots. Trump has previously spoken about north korea’s ”great” beaches, and on which the lift it would be if they built the hotels where, instead of using them as avskjutningsplats to provspränga missiles.
His defense secretary Mike Pompeo has highlighted the host country Vietnam as a possible model for north Korea. After the Vietnam war, the country has lifted itself financially and has now close ties to its former enemy the united states, Pompeo pointed out. It can happen even north Korea, explained Pompeo when he was in Vietnam in July.
Economy is of course interesting for the Dprk, which has suffered greatly from the sanctions that the UN and the USA imposed against the country in 2006. But even more important is perhaps the access to nuclear weapons. They are seen as not only as a lifeline, but also as crucial for the family Kim’s survival as the rulers of the country.
thus it can be difficult. However, a number of proposals are on the table, according to information that leaked out in advance. It is, inter alia, that north Korea should begin decommissioning a large nuclear facility, Youngbyon, against the united states formally declares the Korean war finished.
It is rumored also that the united states will require the inspectors on the ground in north Korea. In addition, there are information about the two countries, has no diplomatic relationship, to open liaison offices in the respective country.
