U.S. to give North Korea post-summit timeline with 'asks' soon: official
So what does this tell us?
It pretty much confirms how incompetent of a negotiator our President is. There was no thought process prior to accepting the meeting with Un; Trump just agreed to meet with a dictator that no other world leader will meet with (thereby granting Un international status and giving him massive propaganda material to use). There were no discussions prior to meeting with Un as was evidenced by Trumps obvious lack of preparation. The President gave up our military readiness and got nothing in return...NOW(??) he is asking Un (who has never followed thru on an agreement before) to do something...
The official, who spoke to a small group of reporters ahead of a trip to Asia this week by Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, did not specify details but suggested that the timeline would be rapid enough to make clear Pyongyang’s level of commitment.
“We’ll know pretty soon if they’re going to operate in good faith or not,” the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
“There will be specific asks and there will be a specific timeline when we present the North Koreans with our concept of what implementation of the summit agreement looks like.”
Trump has drawn some criticism from national security analysts for an agreement that emerged from his June 12 summit with Kim that had few details on how Pyongyang would surrender its nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles.
