Trump not seeking real negotiations with North Korea: Analysts
US President Donald Trump did not want to hold serious talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in their second summit held in Hanoi, two political analysts have told Press TV.
Trump walked away from a nuclear deal, claiming that Kim “wanted the sanctions lifted in their entirety, and we couldn’t do that,” even as North Korea said it had demanded the sanctions to be partially lifted.
Managing editor of the Veterans Today Jim W. Dean told Press TV Saturday that the US president did not need successful talks with the North Korean leader at the moment.
“Trump did not want to have a breakthrough at this time” to seal the denuclearization deal “until it is a very important political time probably with his re-election,” Dean argued.
Another political commentator, Jason Unruhe, said Trump did not have real intention to hold reasonable talks with Kim, saying the US president's negotiations “have been entirely phony tactics.”
“The problem is that what the United States wants is a denuclearized DPRK and this is simply unreasonable,” Unruhe said, using the official acronym for North Korea.
