Prior to the meeting, the Donald Trump has given some hope that North korea’s economy has a bright future in the meeting, and the hope Anders Kristensen holds true.
I hope that there comes a relief of the pressure that is still placed on north Korea from all over the world, where there are large financial penalties.
– I’m well aware that it’s going to cost something, but if north Korea feels that there is a trust to the UNITED states through the negotiations that have been led, then they will also start to give some concessions in relation to nuclear disarmament. It could for example be to destroy some of the plant you use to produce plutonium and enrich uranium. And perhaps also begins to destroy some of their long-range missiles, he says to Ekstra Bladet.

It takes Anders Kristensen does not, however, one can blame north Korea for the.
– It also requires that the UNITED states is providing the other way. So they must themselves begin to eliminate their nuclear weapons, as they have in south Korea. The agreement from June was that there should be nuclear disarmament of the Korean peninsula, so it was not only north Korea, but the whole of Korea. So therefore, the UNITED states must also take similar steps, he says.

He believes, however, that there are positive signs that ane in north Korea, which has been improved in many other areas, among other things, because now there is dialogue between north Korea and the UNITED states and south Korea.
– It is just not good enough with all the threats in a situation, which of course is unhappy, he says.
– There are several media and north Korean defectors, who do not believe, you can rely on Kim Jong-un. Why do you think you can trust him?
– I think now enough, you can rely on him. Only the fact that there is dialogue with the UNITED states, and is taken large steps between the north and the south, I think, is a huge achievement. Before it was on the verge of a nuclear war, but now they talk together, and running traffic on the border between the north and the south, he says.
Anders Kristensen was in the summer of 2018, on a visit in north Korea on a trip with the states, and the visit took place shortly after Kim Jong-un had met Donald Trump for the first time.
There was also some change to label in north Korea, says Anders Kristensen.
– The very belligerent posters, where a bomb hits The White House, and you are fighting against the american soldiers, had been pulled down.
He says, that there was generally a relieved mood of the improved relations with the UNITED states and south Korea, but that there was still a degree of skepticism.
– You say that you know the UNITED states and imperialism being, then one should not be fooled by. But they were relieved that there was after all a dialogue, ” says Anders Kristensen.

He looks optimistic about the future, but he also understands well that there may not occur essential changes in the course of a night.
– the UNITED states and north Korea understands the basic not each other. For many decades, there has been deep distrust between north Korea and the UNITED states, and the trust has to be built up before one can begin to afruste, and then it must be done step by step. And it was not seen from the US side, and then begins north Korea not to disarm themselves, before they can feel safe and secure.

He hopes that the meeting between Trump and Kim Jong-un leads to the fact that the situation gets better for north Korea.
