This week Chuck Ochelli joins me to discuss geopolitics and the problems of the world. We start off discussing the recent Singapore Summit between North Korea and the US. Chuck and I both offer our opinions and analysis of the “deal” that is being hammered out by Trump. We talk about the realities of what is actually being presented, and discuss the larger context of what this may mean for the Korean Peninsula.
(CD) — Following four hours of talks behind closed doors with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in Singapore on Tuesday, U.S. President Donald Trump announced during a press conference that America will halt its “provocative” joint war games with South Korea in return for the North’s commitment to starting the denuclearization process “right away.” “I believe this […]
While Trump was quick to take a victory lap after signing a non-binding letter (of intent) with North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un to implement the denuclearization of North Korea, several questions have emerged among which:
Kim Jong-un confirmed his commitment to the “complete denuclearization of Korean Peninsula,” in a joint document signed with President Trump at Singapore on Tuesday.
According to the press, the text does not mention “complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearization,” however, it does reaffirm the Panmunjom Declaration, signed by Kim on April 27, 2018.
Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un signed a document after a historic summit in Singapore with POTUS Trump declaring that North Korea’s denuclearization process would be starting “very quickly.”
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un stated that the world was about to see “a major change.”
RT CrossTalk host Peter Lavelle unpacks the breaking news from Singapore, where Trump and Kim addressed the world on their communique, and the 4 starting points contained in the joint document.
Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un are set to meet face-to-face in Singapore tomorrow and together they can change the world.
Their Tuesday summit will begin with a one-on-one meeting, alongside translators, with an anxious world watching on, waiting to see if 70 years division and fear can lead to an official end to a conflict on the Korean peninsula that almost plunged the world into nuclear war just months ago.
Many hackles get raised worldwide at the mention of the name of America’s present National Security Adviser, John Bolton. Most recently, the fiery hardliner made news when he ruffled the feathers of the North Korean leadership, by suggesting that the “Libya model” be applied to North Korea’s present regime.
Russia Today reported Thursday, June 7, that an as yet unidentified driver drove a car into the gates of the US Embassy in Seoul, South Korea, screaming “help me!”, in an action that may have been an attempt to gain asylum in the US.
On May 24, the White House and President Trump announced that the U.S. would be calling off the long-anticipated peace summit with North Korean and South Korean leadership in Singapore. According to a letter sent to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un from President Trump, the U.S. decided to cancel the summit, which would have taken place next month, due to the “tremendous anger and open hostility” of a recent statement issued by North Korea.
