Will They or Won't They?
North Korea abruptly postponed tomorrow's high-level talks with South Korea to protest a joint South Korean-United States Air Force drill in the Korean Peninsula.
According to Korean media, Kim also warned that the historic summit meeting between North Korea’s leader and President Trump scheduled for June 12th could be jeopardized.
North Korea (and China) reportedly want U.S. military out of the peninsula as a condition of any nuclear deal.
I wonder if this will be yet another case of North Korea pulling the rug out from a potential nuclear agreement, as was the case under President Bill Clinton, President George W. Bush, and President Barack Obama. All three of the former Presidents were able to get hostages released from North Korea, but didn't get far in terms of denuclearizing the country.
