To meet with kim jong un. I dont expect that kim jong un would come to the United States because he might fear that he would be thrown in american jail and never see the light of dayat ever again. Ro not that that would happen. N so it may be that they choose potentially south korea right there along the border in panmunjom which would be thehe site of the talks between south koreas president moon jaein and kim jong un later in may. Or maybe its a third country, some neutral country somewhere else in the world where everyone can meet. How did we get to this point . The white house just walking us through that in a Conference Call right now, but chung euiyoung is the south Korean National security advisor, said in a statement outside the white house here that it was due to President Trumps program of Maximum Pressure that north korea came to the table. They said that while kim is committed to the denuclearization of the korean peninsula, he also understands the joint Military Exercises
i certainly didn t, that s for certain. i actually thought there was a better chance that we would be at nuclear war with north koreae than there would be peace talks. but there is something we are missing,re tucker. there se a little bit of contex. south korean press, about two weeks ago, came out with some reports that were fascinating. they actually speculated that north korea was actually on the edge of financial bankruptcy. by october, their foreign exchange reserves are probably going to be exhausted, and their dollar reserves are going to be exhausted. so that means north korea is essentially bankrupt. you can t build a loft of nuclear weapons and a lot of missiles when you have no moneyt to do it, to pay all the different spies and people to bring those materials back. you can t also feed your people that way. so i do think the north koreans might be trying to buy some time here, but i also think that kim jong un s newfound pragmatism, there might be a bigger reason for it.
