than giving away. kim s demands were unrealistic. he wanted us to lift all sanctions in return for him shutting down their nuclear facility at nyongbin. north korea has 37 weapons as best we can tell. mr. kim didn t want to get rid of those. he wanted us to take off all pressure in return for him shutting down one. it would have been a bad deal. i m glad the president didn ta take it. why did he agree to end large-scale military exercises? why is the u.s. making concessions if north korea is making no concessions in return? i can t answer that. i haven t talked to the president about it. i think the president would like to keep the negotiations going. i would like to keep the negotiations going. i feel like the world is safer
