U.S. officials Denuclearization negotiations with North Korea Expected to progress at the Tokyo Olympics and Paras October 17, 7:03
High-ranking U.S. government officials hoped that denuclearization negotiations with the stagnant North Korea would proceed in the wake of next year's Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics.
At the military parade on the 10th of this month, North Korea unveiled a new type of SLBM = submarine-launched ballistic missile, as well as a new type of ICBM = intercontinental ballistic missile class.
O'Brien, the White House Chief of Staff, who is in charge of security issues under the Trump administration, said at an online event on the 16th that he would continue to put maximum pressure on North Korea, saying, "North after the US presidential election. I hope that Korea realizes that there is no other option and will lead to negotiations. "
He added, "I think North Korea is interested in participating in the Tokyo Olympics. Some negotiations may take place during or before or after the Olympics," said the United States, where next year's Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics are stagnant. He expressed his hope that it would be a catalyst for the progress of the denuclearization negotiations in the morning.
On the other hand, O'Brien commented on his relationship with Iran, which continues to be tense, saying, "I don't think the effects of economic sanctions will be serious and Iran will last for a long time. They would want to return to the nuclear deal, but they wouldn't, "he said, adding that he would continue to put pressure on Iran.
