Donald Trump may think his “great relationship” with Kim Jong Un will ultimately result in a nuclear deal, but the North Korean leader is flirting with other suitors in an apparent attempt to pressure Washington into easing sanctions
President on his country.
The country is invested in seeing Pyongyang stay at the negotiating table with the U.S., hoping a deal might curtail North Korea’s missile program and secure the return of abducted Japanese citizens. “The rift was always there, but it was hidden underneath the fluff of high-level comments, including from Trump, that things were going great,” said Jung Pak, a former senior CIA official. “When all the fluff blows away ... there was no real meat there to grab on to.”that Pyongyang presented his administration with a $2 million bill for its supposed care of Otto Warmbier, an American college student who was imprisoned in North Korea on charges linked to pulling down a propaganda poster.
In the weeks since, Trump has nonetheless sounded positive notes about Kim and the talks — pointing out that the country has curbed its nuclear missile testing, for instance. But the North Koreans have instead grown increasingly critical of the United States.
