Donald Trump hopes the US administration will be a breakthrough in North Korea's denuclearization negotiations and is considering new proposals for North Korea, a US expert on North Korea said.

Harry Kazianis, director of the National Institute for Research, National Think Institute, US think tank, published in the American magazine'American Conservative' on the 16th (local time). In the article, the White House and State Department officials were quoted to convey this atmosphere.

Kazianis said there is hope that if the deal is reached with North Korea, the signing of the agreement will be held this fall in the third North American summit, where Kim Jong-un will be signed by a North Korean Prime Minister in a capital city of Asia, which can be reached by train or plane. .

He said the White House, along with the State Department and intelligence officials, reviewed the idea of ​​bringing the North to the negotiating table this spring and resuming the multilateral framework so as not to resume long-range missile tests.

The idea, based on the 2000 Six-Party Talks initiative, came from the expectation that it would make a breakthrough by attracting North Korea's allies, Russia and China, and joining'at least one other partner' with Japan.

However, Kaziannis quoted a White House source as saying that North Korea received this idea last month but had no success, and evaluated it as an'initial idea that failed.'

Kazianis said that Trump's team is developing ideas for bilateral talks that will achieve clear results for both sides of the North, rather than a summit to be accused of taking pictures, and that the debate is still ongoing.

However, citing two White House sources, the idea now is to provide a customized sanctions mitigation package in exchange for a package that includes North Korea dismantling one or more core nuclear facilities and officially declaring a nuclear and missile experimental moratorium. said.

He also cited sources from the State Department that he was interested in ensuring that North Korea's nuclear weapons facilities were frozen, as well as stopping the production of nuclear materials and missiles.

An official of the White House said, "We are willing to exchange concessions for concessions, and we are willing to put a lot of new things on the table and take some risks that we have not done in the past." We need to know what North Korea wants. "I want to make this work," said Kazianis.
