Next year's Tokyo Olympics was picked by the White House national security adviser as an opportunity to resume denuclearization negotiations with North Korea.

If President Trump comes back to power, it is interpreted to mean that he wants to advance dialogue with the US again.

White House National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien referred to the fact that he met Seo Hoon, head of the Blue House Security Office, and explained that the Korean government is satisfied with the US policy toward North Korea.

He predicted that after the US presidential election, North Korea would appear on the negotiating table.

[O'Brien/White House National Security Adviser (Interview with Aspen Institute): I met Seo Hoon, and the Korean government was also satisfied with our policy toward North Korea.

I hope that after the presidential election, North Korea will realize that it has no other option than to negotiate.]

Adviser O'Brien predicted that time would be around the Tokyo Olympics in July next year.

[O'Brien/White House National Security Adviser (Interview with Aspen Institute): During the Tokyo Olympics, negotiators may come together to negotiate a better economic prosperity for the North Koreans.]

The president also showed off negotiations with North Korea as his diplomatic achievements.

[Trump/US President: Look at North Korea.

Didn't you say that there will be war soon?

North Korea's behavior has improved.

Negotiations are also continuing.]

If President Trump succeeds in re-election, it can be interpreted as expressing his intention to advance the dialogue between the United States and the United States with the opportunity of the Tokyo Olympics, just like during the PyeongChang Winter Olympics.
