North Korea's first vice-president Kim Yeo-jung spoke again. It is a position on the possibility of the North American summit before the recent US presidential election. Choi Sang-hee, the first vice minister of Foreign Affairs, and the US Director of Foreign Affairs, Kwon Jeong-geun, said, but Kim Yeo-jung, who is thought to best contain Kim Jong-un's significance, is once again in front.

Let me point out some points.

● Possibilities for the North American Summit Although it

remains open, Kim Yeo- jeong said, "I don't know if this is the case, but I don't know the same thing will happen this year. The North Korean summit is only necessary for the US, and it is impractical and useless for North Korea.

Also, this year, the North American summit talked to the North for three reasons, saying that even if the US wants it, North Korea should not accept it. First, the North American summit is ineffective for North Korea, and second, it will only be time to sit face to face with the United States, who has no courage to try a new challenge, and third, because it is what Bolton predicted as garbage.

With regard to the second reason,'killing time', North Korea understands the current situation relatively accurately. The United States needs a summit in North America, "It is not the summit (the summit) itself or its consequences... It's not just (the United States) that we (North America) are politically catastrophic (soaking) our (North Korea) and ankle. There will be a purpose to catch and have a safe time,” said Kim Yeo-jung. The United States said, "I'm afraid I'll be getting Christmas gifts that I haven't received yet on the eve of the presidential election."


As President Trump, it would be nice to have a North American summit in favor of the United States before the presidential election, but if it is difficult, at least it is necessary to prevent provocations such as North Korea's further ICBM launch. This is because North Korea's ICBM provocation will be a bad thing for the presidential election, with Trump advocating that North Korea is no longer conducting nuclear tests or launching ICBM. Therefore, it should be considered that Trump's mention of the possibility of the North Korean summit is intended to prevent North Korea's provocation by opening the possibility of negotiations with North Korea rather than realizing itself. It is the purpose of Kim Yeo-jung that North Korea is well aware of the intentions of the United States.

However, among these, Kim Yeo-jung also showed nuances that did not seem to completely close the possibility of the North American summit before the US presidential election. The North American summit is unlikely to happen this year, but he said, "It is also unknown. Because no one knows what will happen suddenly based on the judgment and determination of the two leaders." It is not necessary to face the US right away, but it also opened the possibility of a North American talk by revealing, "It's a matter of first seeing a significant change in attitudes in the United States and making a decision." As for denuclearization, it seemed to be able to negotiate, saying, "It is not that we will not denuclearize, but that we will not do it now." It is a point that you can see if the position has changed slightly with the discourse of Choi Choi, who said, "There is no need to face the United States."

It may be interpreted from the above comments that North Korea has begun to keep in mind the North American summit before the presidential election. That's because such an interpretation may be possible by looking at the phrase itself. However, if you take a look at Kim's discourse, the North American summit is possible when there is a significant change in attitudes in the United States. In other words, the North Korean position is that if the United States brings a large package of gifts to North Korea, you can think about the talks. North Korea's summit talks continue to come from South Korea and the United States, so it seems North Korea's idea to watch what the US and the ROK do.

● North

Korea is thinking about Trump's re-election failure , but if the Trump government brings a large gift package to North Korea, it will be a bad news for Trump. If it's such a North American summit, it would be better not to play for Trump. North Korea, of course, knows this. That is why Kim Yeo-jung is saying that the North American summit will not take place before the presidential election.


Rather, Kim Yeo-jung mentioned that Trump's failure to reelect was in mind. "We have to deal with President Trump, and then we need to target the US government and even the whole United States," said Kim Yeo-jung. In addition, he said, "It is time to think more about improving our (North Korea) response ability to cope with the US hostility (North Korea) hostility that will continue to continue in the future rather than friendship with the current (US) administration." Now, North Korea is worried not only about the Trump government, but also the possibility of the next administration coming to the United States. North Korea may be watching Trump's approval ratings fall, so this is a natural concern.

● The possibility of

North Korea's further provocation before the presidential election still suggests the possibility of further provocation in this context. As mentioned above, he emphasized enhancing the ability to respond to the US policy toward North Korea, and said, "We need to manage long-term threats from the United States... and solidify our capabilities and continuously develop them."


The actual ability to respond to long-term threats from the United States is a strategic weapon capable of hitting the United States, or the ICBM's ability to carry nuclear warheads. It seems North Korea's idea that it must have substantial power to deal with the Trump administration as well as the administration thereafter. If you look at it this way, the real concern for North Korea at this point is not when you will hold the North American summit, but what timing you choose in the US presidential phase to demonstrate additional ICBM capabilities.

● Kim Yeo-jung's status is the

last point to point out. Although Kim Yeo-jung, who recently led the Korean offensive against South Korea, saved her face by ordering Kim Jong-un to withhold, Kim Yeo-jung's position in the party seems to be strong. In spite of the fact that the Daenam Project failed to show reliable work, it seems that Yongin Kim, the chairman of Kim Jong-un, who uses Kim Yeo-jung, will continue.
