Closer look at preparations for North Korea-U.S. summit
  • 6 years ago
Now... what's the Trump administration's reaction? Are they willing to give as much as that... to secure the much coveted denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula?

Well, first of all, President Trump mentioned the prospect of ending the decades-long Korean War, after his meeting with Kim Yong-chol last week.
So, hopefully that tells us President Trump knows what the North wants and what he is able to give at the moment.
And secondly, Trump has recently commented on how the June 12th summit is only a process and the first of a series of meetings to come.
Unlike before, where he seemed to be pushing for a "one shot" deal, President Trump is much more aware that it's not something that can happen in one meeting, or in one go.
And, experts say that naturally points to a give and take negotiation between the two sides, where the U.S. would give a step-by-step security guarantee for the North's denuclearization.
So maybe after next week, we will be able to find out which cards Kim and Trump are willing to give to the other side.

Thank you so much for that, Ji-won.
