US-North Korea Practical Consultation Is the situation of the two countries still separated?
The United States and North Korea will hold a working-level talk on denuclearization in Sweden on the 5th. While North Korea is forced to launch SLBM = submarine launching ballistic missiles, the Trump administration gives priority to dialogue, and the focus is on how far North Korea, which continues provocative action, should be denuclearized.
The United States and North Korea officially resumed discussions on the 4th in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. On the 5th, the US vegan special representative and North Korean chief representative Kim Myung-gil attended the meeting. I will do it.
With regard to denuclearization, there is a gap between the United States, which appeals for complete denuclearization and refuses to lift sanctions, and North Korea, which claims that a return is necessary according to step-by-step measures. It has not been held for 7 months since February.
During this time, North Korea repeatedly launched short-range ballistic missiles, and on the 2nd of this month, forced to launch SLBM = submarine-launched ballistic missiles from the waters off the eastern Wonsan (Motoyama).
US President Trump continues to take a stance on short-range missile launches, and after the launch of SLBM, "North Korea wants to talk. We will talk to them soon." Clarifies the attitude of prioritizing dialogue.
The talk will focus on how far the United States will be forced to denucleate without making a concession to North Korea, which continues to provoke and shake.
