Analysts said that the much anticipated summit between Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un favored North Korea.
President Trump had withdrawn his army from South Korea after the talks and claimed Kim would continue its denuclearization.
However a few weeks after the talks it was evident that North Korea was continuing its program.
Yet the U.S. still pulled its troops from South Korea in what could be seen as throwing South Korea under the bus.
The U.S. continued talks with the North Koreans as Secretary of State Mike Pompeo pushed for some level of conformity.
The North made it clear that they won’t be giving into any gangster like pressure from the U.S.
Gangster Like
“Pompeo appears to have presented the North Koreans with some demands and requirements for real moves toward denuclearization, as opposed to the symbolic steps and empty language Pyongyang has been using so far. He deserves credit for doing so,” Evans Revere said.
Revere, a former U.S. diplomat with a long history of negotiating with North Korea said the U.S would now see what their intentions are.
“But in doing so, he has elicited North Korean ire, and he has now seen the reality of North Korea’s game plan and intentions that many of us have been describing for some time,” Revere added. “Welcome to our world, Mr. Secretary.”
Pompeo responded to the suggestion by the Koreans that he was gangster like in his approach.
