The US and North Korea, which had been exchanging nerves for several days, were quiet today (24th). Instead, Kim Chang-sun, who was in charge of scheduling ahead of the summit in Singapore and Hanoi, is visiting Russia everywhere. His analysis shows that he is trying to pressure the United States in a way that will soon meet President Putin.

Kim Chang-sun, head of the State Department, who stayed in Moscow for five days and four nights, headed for Vladivostok instead of Beijing, China.

Vladivostok, close to North Korea, is considered to be a candidate for the North Korean summit with Moscow.

Kim was reported to have visited the Kremlin Palace for three consecutive days.

It is the observation that Kim will coordinate the schedule of the Kim Jong-un's defiance in Moscow and check the transportation and anticipated inspection sites in search of Vladivostok.

A government official said he would like to see the possibility of the North Korea summit meeting high, but said the situation is not imminent.

North Korea 's move is interpreted as sending a message to the United States through closer ties with Russia.

[Hong Min / Korea Research Institute for North Korean Studies]: It is indirectly pressing that the path to denuclearization and economic development that can be achieved in cooperation with China and Russia, rather than the denuclearization of the United States and the United States ... .]

Today, North Korea continued its struggle with the US through its outlying media.

[North Korean people TV: (US) said that they brought early alarms and special reconnaissance aircraft to South Korea (for our local surveillance). This kind of behavior in the United States is about the North, which has been doing its best as a conversation partner. .]

Trump is not expected to respond to the North Korea sanctions withdrawal card yet.
