‘Stay vigilant’ with North Korea despite failure to deliver ‘Christmas gift’
Kim announced in the Supreme People’s Assembly speech in April that North Korea"will wait till the end of this year to see whether the United States makes a courageous decision or not," demanding concessions in the nuclear negotiations such as lifting sanctions.-- which put U.S. officials on alert for a potential long-range missile test.
“It’s important that we stay vigilant when dealing with North Korea,” Moon Sung-muk, a researcher at the Korea Research Institute for Strategy, told ABC News. “The regime conducted two consecutive so-called very important tests at the Tongchang-ri launch facility this month, and there was a great possibility they could have showed off military provocations if they wanted to.”
President Donald Trump meets with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un at the demilitarized zone separating the two Koreas, in Panmunjom, South Korea, June 30, 2019.“It’s likely for the meeting to come up with a simple message, so that Kim Jong Un can send the core message himself during the New Year speech,” Shin Beom Chul, director of the Security and Unification Center at the Asian Institute for Policy Studies, told ABC News.
