Summit plans between the U.S. and North Korea could be revived. But President Trump and Kim Jong Un need to overcome their disconnect over what North Korea’s nuclear program should look like.
Path to Denuclearization
The reason for North’s negative expression that made President Trump cancel the meeting is different views on the nuclear accord. Bringing back the same view might determine if they ever meet.
Christopher Hill was the lead U.S. negotiator with North Korea from George W. Bush’s administration. He stated that people could look at this as just trash talking. He thinks it is more serious than that though.
Donald Trump sent a letter to Kim on Thursday. He blamed the open hostility and anger from Pyongyang for canceling the meeting. The summit was expected to happen on 12 of June in Singapore.
North Korea Not Prepared?
Trump agreed to meet with Kim with a plan to persuade him to abandon his nuclear program. The program poses a threat to the U.S. and other nations. For North Korea observes, this was a diplomatic blow-up supposed to happen soon.
