Trump Cancels North Korean Summit Meeting

A senior White House official told reporters Thursday afternoon that North Korean officials failed to show up at preliminary meetings in advance of a  scheduled meeting between President Donald Trump and dictator Kim Jong-un on June 12, prompting the cancelation of that meeting.

The senior official referred back to a May 16 statement from a North Korean official that spoke of objecting to the "complete, verifiable, and irreversible denuclearization of the [Korean] Peninsula" and U.S. statements that called for total decommissioning of nuclear weapons. The official noted this has been the U.S. policy all along and North Korea has previously expressed a commitment to denuclearization. The official added that the "shift in attitude" of North Korea after the second meeting with China "did not go unnoticed" by the U.S.

The U.S. policy of maximum pressure on North Korea will continue.

"The ball is really in North Korea's court now," said the official, adding that there is a "certain amount of actual dialogue that needs to take place" regarding the agenda of a meeting between Trump and the North Korean leader and that it would be tough to reinstate the June 12 date at this point.

The President was briefed last night on the statement from North Korea and slept on it. On Thursday morning, President Trump met with the Vice President and Chief of Staff John Kelly and spoke with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and National Security Advisor John Bolton. After considering those conversations, he dictated the letter to Kim canceling the summit.

China has given the U.S. assurances that it will continue to support sanctions on North Korea, according to the official.

The official spoke of a South Korean's estimation that talks were 99 percent likely to continue and said that the South Koreans were hopeful that the talks would occur, as was President Trump. The official said that, during a recent White House lunch, President Trump "well informed" the South Koreans and President Moon of the skepticism for the U.S.-North Korea talks.

The official called the North Korean decision to attack the Vice President an "odd judgment call," as was the talk of a "nuclear showdown."

Conversations between the U.S. and South Korea, and the U.S. and Japan, involved administration officials just below President Trump, according to the official.

Asked whether there would be any additional sanctions on North Korea, the official said various departments are constantly considering additional sanctions and they continue to do so. The officials said the goal is maximum pressure and "we're still short of that."

The official said of the remaining potential of a Trump-Kim meeting that President Trump wants to give every opportunity for the right outcome for North Korea, its people, the United States, and allies of the United States. Trump is willing to pursue diplomacy as far as it can be pursued.

God, he's playing these people like a champ. First he threatens, while dangling a picture of a carrot, then he proposes strict tariffs, China threatens back, but knows it has zero leverage, Trump then shows them a real carrot behind glass, China agrees to limited changes, Trump removes the carrot and walks away, China shits a rock and agrees to open its market, Trump tosses them a carrot slice via their leading phone manufacturer, lightens tariffs a bit and China keeps talks with NK moving smoothly.
China thought they could play the NK card again, so Trump calls XI and tells his dumb ass in no uncertain terms, I'll kill your Fuckin economy, get your shit together and restart these talks.

China whimpers and agrees. Kim cleans up Xi's pee and wags his tail.

Granted there is a shit load more to this, but that's a basic recap. :biggrin:

Boo,
It was about 2 hours which telegraphs who really needs/wants this meeting.
Mega problem for Rocket Man is his Military who have to be in panic mode.
The Kimster better watch his back, front and sides.

I'm guessing Trump found out Rocket man intended to be a "No show" at the Summit thus embarassing Trump before the world. The leftist scum suckers would have had a FIELD DAY had that happened.

Trump got the jump on things and beat him to the punch..... :popcorn:

He already did, by making Kim grovel back to the table. :biggrin:

Xi is taking the dead dog approach in public, or more like the Sergeant Shultz approach of "I see Nothing".
Either way, Trump gives the appearance of negotiating with NK, while checkmating China. He has Xi right where he wants him and I love it, we haven't seen this kind of negotiating strength in decades, not since Reagan killed the USSR.

If they pull this stunt again, China/Xi will pay the full bill for their failures and they know it.

With all these lawyers with cameras on the street i'm shocked we have so much crime in the world.

There is constitutional law and there is law and order. This challenge to law and order is always the start to loosing our constitutional rights.

Frauditors are a waste of life.

Trump called the NK and China bluff. Now they come back on his terms. We will not see this opinion in the MSM.
