President Trump planned meeting with Kim Jong Un was expected to soon take place. This was a dramatic turn from the stand Trump had taken over the last several months.
Kim reached out to Trump and he accepted. The World now watched to see what the outcome would be.
Hillary Clinton warned that they could be diplomatic danger if these talks took placed. Her main point was the lack of experience with such matters. What was more worrisome was that history had proven North Korea unreliable when it came to nuclear arms.
Clinton’s Say
“If you want to talk to Kim Jong Un about his nuclear weapons you need experienced diplomats,” Clinton said. “These are people familiar with the dossiers and who know the North Koreans and their language.”
“You cannot have diplomacy without diplomats,” she said, adding “the danger is not being recognized by the Trump government.”
Just how bad could the situation be and was Clinton right in what she said?
Bill Richardson, veteran diplomat and former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations made similar statements.
“It’s a real opportunity … I worry about the President’s unpreparedness and lack of discipline. But I commend him for his very bold move in accepting the invitation,” he said. “But this is not ‘The Apprentice’ or a reality TV event. It’s a negotiation with an unpredictable leader who has at least 20 nuclear weapons and who threatens the United States.”
