The US approached the North Korean nuclear program as a collective security approach, and it seems that the Republican Trump system's "capitalization strategy" has been abandoned.
US State Department spokeswoman Ned Price said on the 14th that North Korea is “actively engaged in diplomacy with its allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific region including South Korea and Japan.” “North Korea’s nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles pose a threat to collective security, We are continuing to discuss this issue with our allies and partners around the world,” said the Voice of America (VOA).
According to VOA on the 16th, Secretary of State Pompeo under the Trump administration directly proposed to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un to join the World Bank during the Trump administration.
Special Envoy Biegun visited North Korea with then Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in October 2018 ahead of the 2019 North Korea-US summit in Hanoi and had a long conversation with Chairman Kim, who joined the World Bank as one of the incentives for denuclearization. It was revealed on the 15th at the North Korean Economic Forum hosted by the Institute of Korean Studies at George Washington University that he asked Chairman Kim by presenting the card.
Former special envoy Biegun said that at the time Chairman Kim answered, “What is the World Bank?” Regarding Chairman Kim, “I will never forget that answer. This sends the message that we have a lot of work to do here. It seems that it was difficult to overcome the wall of reality.” “In the end, the concept of an 'economically bright future' was an attractive proposition for the United States, but not for the totalitarian dictatorship of North Korea.” It has been confirmed that the North Korean economic bright future strategy is the 'Incorporation of the World Bank system' applied to the capitalist reformed countries after the end of World War II.
Kim Ji-young, editor-in-chief of the Chosun Shinbo, a newspaper of the Chongryon, said on the 16th, "When North Korean leader Kim Jong-un met with President Trump in Panmunjom in June 2019, President Trump mentioned economic support and demanded additional denuclearization measures, and he said, 'A dream of brilliant transformation and rapid economic development. We have no intention of changing our system and the safety and future of our people with the lifting of sanctions without any guarantees to achieve this,” he said at the East Asian Citizens Solidarity Symposium.
Director Kim said, citing the testimony of Vice President Kim Yo-jong of the Workers' Party of Korea on the same day, saying, "The pain that the United States has imposed on us has turned into hatred for the United States." "I will overcome this and live on my own," he said.
Regarding the declaration of the end of the war, Kim continued, "At the time when efforts to implement the Singapore Joint Declaration were halted, adopting the declaration of an end to the war, which was merely a political declaration, would not help at all to stabilize the situation on the Korean peninsula, and it would not be useful to cover up the US hostile policy. “I decided that it could be misused as a smoke screen for the purpose of the war,” he said. “In 2018, Chosun also agreed with the necessity and significance of the end-of-war declaration and tried to achieve it. He suggested that the 'establishment of a new DPRK-US relationship' should begin with the declaration of the end of the war, but that premise has already been broken," he said.
In a speech to the Supreme People's Assembly on September 29, Chairman Kim Jong-un said, "If we leave the factors that are fueling distrust and confrontation as they are, even if we declare an end to the war, hostile acts will continue. Prejudicial views, unfair double attitudes, and hostile views and policies must first be withdrawn.”
DNI Director Abril Haines, who oversees 17 U.S. intelligence agencies, held a meeting between South Korea, the U.S. and Japan heads of intelligence in South Korea on the 18th. A spokesperson for the Blue House said that they met with the president and exchanged views on the situation on the Korean Peninsula.
