'Chariman Kim has a great and beautiful vision for his country, and only the United States, with me as President, can make that vision come true,' Trump tweeted on Friday.
Deirdre ShesgreenWASHINGTON – President Donald Trump and his national security advisers have repeatedly declined to criticize North Korea’s latest weapons tests, shrugging them off as small-scale and reiterating their desire to restart negotiations with Kim Jong Un.
That kind of response, some experts warn, is an open invitation for Kim to push the envelope when it comes to additional provocations. North Korea has now conducted at least five weapons tests over the last three months, launching several short-range ballistic missiles in May and more in July. North Korea’s state media said its latest test, conducted earlier this week, was a new “large caliber” guided rocket system.
“This is part of the negotiations, and I think that is learning … that he can get away with this because President Trump has made it so clear, so publicly, in so many ways how invested he is in this process as a success,” said Fuchs, now a foreign policy expert with the liberal Center for American Progress."The fact that North Korea hasn’t actually given up anything yet, the fact that North Korea is resuming missile testing, all gets in the way of the success narrative Trump wants to build.
"I wish they had gotten here," Pompeo said Thursday in Bangkok. Asked about the missile tests, he said the"diplomatic path is often fraught with bumps ... We are still fully committed to achieving the outcome that we've laid out."Kim has not named any negotiators or agreed to any specific timeline for those talks.
