Negotiations
“We now know that the main discussion of the agenda and any possible deal will take place (in the United States), not in Panmunjom,” Evans Revere said.
It was suggested that the U.S. should be the best location for meetings regarding denuclearization.
“The most important agenda item would be the method of denuclearisation,” said Moon Sung-mook. “We can expect that Kim is visiting the U.S. in order to do final coordination ahead of the June 12 summit.”
Sung-mook, a former South Korean military official who negotiated with Kim in the past believed that would be the main intent of the meet.
The negotiation could be challenging as the Koreans felt a total denuclearization would make them sitting ducks.
A recent training program between the U.S. and South Korea in the Korean Peninsula caused a stern warning form Kim.
The activity left him displeased and he threatened to pull out of talks if the training wasn’t halted. He warned that he would be keeping a close eye on the activities.
Trump had high hopes of persuading Kim to get rid of his weapons but it was unlikely to happen as he hoped.
The meeting itself would be the calling card of how willing the Koreans are to fully denuclearize.
