In Spite of Earlier Summit and Trump-Kim Bromance, N Korea Says They’re Not Disarming

Stunned. Utterly STUNNED.

I mean, who could have predicted this? Who in their wildest imagination would have guessed that after the historic summit between United States President Donald Trump and North Korean despot, Kim Jong Un, that Kim would go back on his promises?

Who could have foreseen this outcome?

Everybody.

After commemorative coins and President Trump’s warm, admiring words, it really does seem the rogue nation has hung out the “Sucker” sign.

There’s a reason North Korea is currently sanctioned into near-oblivion and no other president has been as anxious to give the Kim regime legitimacy.

All Trump saw in meeting Kim was “making history.” His dull wit didn’t consider the possibility that he’d get duped.

And now, the Kim regime feels emboldened to make demands.

Say, remember when Trump decided to meet with a ruthless dictator alone (No, not with Russia’s Putin in Helsinki, but with Kim Jong Un, in Singapore), with only translators present?

Remember how everybody thought it was a really bad idea, but he did it, anyway?

Apparently, the “great deal maker” made some promises to the squat North Korean dictator, and they’re looking for him to make good on his word.

While addressing the United Nations, North Korea’s foreign minister called out Team Trump.

“Without any trust in the U.S., there will be no confidence in our national security and under such circumstances there is no way we will unilaterally disarm ourselves first,” North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho said Saturday at the United Nations.

At the annual gathering of world leaders, Ri called on the United States to follow through on promises made during the summit in Singapore between President Trump and North Korea leader Kim Jong Un, according to the Associated Press.

To date, the United States have done nothing to relieve sanctions on North Korea, but President Trump has agreed to pull back on military readiness drills with South Korea.

The sanctions, however, have been key to getting cooperation from Kim Jong Un.

“The perception that sanctions can bring us on our knees is a pipe dream of the people who are ignorant about us. But the problem is that the continued sanctions are deepening our mistrust,” Ri said.

So we’re right back to tough talk, are we?

Since completing the summit, President Trump has received several admiring letters from Kim, leading to his dewy eyed praise of the man that starves and imprisons his own people, and leads the nation that is ranked number one in the world for Christian persecution.

It is the very reason that I pointed out earlier that a meeting between Trump and Venezuelan dictator, Nicolas Maduro would be a horrible idea, gives the president’s inability to distinguish sincere praise from manipulation.

Donald Trump is not cut out to deal with other world leaders, one-on-one.

The diplomat’s comments come as Secretary of State Mike Pompeo seems to be on the verge of restarting deadlocked nuclear diplomacy more than three months after the summit.

Washington is wary of agreeing to a declaration ending the Korean War without Pyongyang first making significant disarmament moves.

By “Washington,” we’re talking about the adults that are still there. Trump is anxious to meet up with his new pen pal, Kim, again.

Secretary Pompeo is set to visit Pyongyang again in October, in order to set up a time to make a second Trump-Kim summit a reality.

I’m sure it’ll go at least as well as the first one.

That is to say, Trump is probably going to give away nuclear secrets the next time around.
