SEOUL - The United States should seek the gradual denuclearisation of North Korea because an “all-or-nothing” strategy will not help break an impasse in talks, a special adviser to South Korea’s president said on Tuesday.
But the talks in Vietnam broke down without agreement, although the two leaders parted on good terms. Moon pointed to a speech by U.S. nuclear envoy Stephen Biegun at Stanford University, in which he vowed to pursue parallel commitments and a “roadmap of negotiations and declarations”. He said the North would have got a deal if it had addressed U.S. concerns by making a commitment to abandon its uranium enrichment program at other facilities, not just at its main facility of Yongbyon.
Moon said it would be a “mistake” if North Korea pressed ahead with a launch, after promising Trump it would halt such activity.
