The U.S. considers North Korea’s ‘mid-stage disarmament’ North Korea-Japan summit, and South Korea ‘excludes’ ‘weapons joint development’ with Japan
The United States supported the North Korea-Japan summit in the ‘middle stage’ of nuclear negotiations with North Korea for ‘disarmament’ and announced ‘exclusion of South Korea’ from ‘weapons joint development’ with Japan.
Yoon Seok-yeol's regime opposes the Biden regime's 'diplomacy priority' through the US Republican Party's 'crashing North Korea's economy through military build-up' and 'spreading liberal North Korea', strengthening the Trump Republican Party's re-election support strategy and shaking up the Biden regime's 'diplomacy priority'. This is in conflict with the Kishida regime’s support for Biden.
In response to the White House's 'intermediate stage' announcement on the 4th of last month, Unification Minister Kim Young-ho said on the 8th, "The so-called disarmament talks that tolerate North Korea's nuclear weapons will inevitably lead to a nuclear domino effect in the Asian region and globally. We will not accept such discussions as a government." “It’s very difficult,” he said, officially announcing his opposition.
Rap Hooper, senior adviser for East Asia at the White House NSC, said in the North Korean nuclear negotiations on the 9th, “The ‘interim steps’ are strict arms control aspects,” and added, “The intermediate steps for denuclearization are completely consistent with the Biden administration’s policy toward North Korea,” and said, “We will discuss various topics with North Korea.” “I am ready to talk,” he said.
At the Foreign Correspondents’ Club (FPC) briefing on the U.S.-Japan summit, Assistant Secretary Hooper responded to the question, “Does the intermediate stage of North Korea’s denuclearization include a nuclear freeze and limiting the number of missiles?” “The mention of ‘intermediate stage’ is often interpreted in terms of strict arms control.” He said, “It is completely consistent with the policy announced throughout the Biden administration,” and about the intermediate stage. “It is the fact that we can talk with North Korea on a wide range of topics without preconditions,” he said.
Advisor Hooper's remarks were reported by the Voice of America (VOA), and he previously said at a forum in March, “The goal of the United States is the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula,” and “If the region and the world can become safer in the process of denuclearization, He officially announced the ‘intermediate stage’, saying, “We will consider measures.”
At the time, he described the ‘intermediate stage’ as “the clear message there is that if North Korea comes to the table and tells us what it wants to talk about, we will be ready to talk.”
Rap Hooper, senior adviser for East Asia and Oceania, said regarding the US-Japan summit on modernizing military command and control, “We will have more to talk about on the 10th about our approach to alliance modernization,” and added, “During Prime Minister Kishida’s official visit, Joe Biden “The President will highly evaluate Prime Minister Kishida’s leadership, including strengthening Japan’s defense posture, increasing defense spending, and efforts with South Korea’s President Yoon Seok-yeol,” he said. “Strengthening cooperation on core technologies and strengthening human exchanges will be announced,” he said.
At a press conference on the 9th, White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan was asked, "Do you think the joint development and production of weapons by the U.S. and Japan will have an impact on the trilateral cooperation between the U.S., Korea, and Japan?" White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan answered, "Not only our security and military cooperation, but also our technological, industrial, and economic capabilities." “From that perspective, I believe there is a synergy effect on a three-party basis,” he said. “What we are announcing will be bilateral measures (between the U.S. and Japan) in the relevant field,” adding, “There is room for future discussions on Korea’s participation.” (And we want to build on that for tomorrow. What we are announcing will be bilateral measures in this space. And then of course, we would be open in the future to discuss),” in ‘The US-Japan Military Alliance System First’. He announced the ‘exclusion of Korea’.
Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell previously told the Center for a New American Security (CNAS) on the 3rd that the U.S.-Japan summit included steps that would enable the U.S. and Japan to cooperate further for the joint development and, potentially, co-production of critical military and defense equipment. “It will be announced in ,” he said, announcing the “US-Japan military alliance” and “joint weapons development system.”
At a briefing on the U.S.-Japan summit, Assistant Secretary Sullivan said, “The two leaders will announce the results of their agreement through discussions on various agendas and issues, including defense and technology, as well as space, economy, and climate change,” adding, “The two leaders will coordinate the two countries’ militaries.” “We will announce measures to strengthen defense and security cooperation between our two countries to enable greater integration and ensure optimal posture and alignment with other like-minded partners,” he said.
Lee Jae-myeong, leader of the Democratic Party, said on the 23rd of last month, “This general election is a perfect new Korea-Japan war,” and regarding the legalization of North Korea’s nuclear policy in September 2022, “We urge the cessation of additional threatening actions and a solution through dialogue,” adding, “North Korea depends on China.” and dialogue', contradicting the Biden Democratic administration's 'mid-stage negotiations between Japan and North Korea.'
