BBC News: Reports " North Korea's foreign minister says Pyongyang's position will not change even if the US seeks further talks. "
Lets Get Real:
At last President Trump has done something Presidential, he walked away from talks with North Korea, it seems that a light bulb has gone off in the brain of POTUS, he got the fact that he was being played by North Korea. The President stated that North Korea wanted all sanctions off, in return for a limited denuclearisation, while NK stated it just wanted partial sanctions removed. It can be postulated that Kim Jong-un seeing the weakness of Trump at home with the Russia investigation thought that POTUS would grant the concessions he wanted just for a picture op of the two leaders singing a limited agreement. It will be interesting to see what North Korea does NEXT, will it carry on with back channel talks or will it start to test it nuclear weapons again and launch missiles over Japan. The last option would be a MISTAKE, it would allow POTUS to get tough, even take military action, he could argue that he tried peaceful talks, and the NK tried to play him like a second hand car. A tougher position on North Korea would go down well with the voters in 2020, it didn't do Reagan any harm in 1984, he was tough with the USSR and the economy was roaring along. Of course Trump is NO REAGAN, he can not keep on message, and no one ever accused President Reagan of being an asset of the Russians. Asia could get very hot or NK could fold when it comes to its nuclear weapons.
