Cool. Trump solved the dilemma of possibly insufficient inspections of Iran's facilities by dropping demands for inspections of North Korea's nuclear facilities altogether. It's a pity that today's Cohen hearings had to distract from Trump's foreign policy victory.

HANOI, Vietnam — U.S. negotiators are no longer demanding that North Korea agree to disclose a full accounting of its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs as part of talks this week between President Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un, according to current and former senior U.S. officials.

The decision to drop, for now, a significant component of a potential nuclear deal suggests a reality that U.S. intelligence assessments have stressed for months is shaping talks as they progress: North Korea does not intend to fully denuclearize, which is the goal Trump set for his talks with Kim.

Disclosure of a full, verifiable declaration of North Korea’s programs is the issue over which the last round of serious negotiations between Pyongyang and world powers, including the U.S., fell apart a decade ago.

As they say, "Trust and never verify." At least I think that's how the saying goes.

Trump, per pooler, says it might take more time, but “no matter what happens we’ll ultimately have a deal that’s really good for Chairman Kim and his country...With this great leadership, I really believe that North Korea is going to be very successful."

Daniel Dale on Twitter: "Trump, per pooler @DavidNakamura, says it might take more time, but “no matter what happens we’ll ultimately have a deal that’s really good for Chairman Kim and his country...With this great leadership, I really believe that North Korea is going to be very successful.""

And the slurpers will lap it up....because after all, Trumps tells them he's the great negotiator.


More winning.

Yet another "deal" of North Korea's design.

Make no mistake, the North has studied Trump's psychology and they have paid attention to our domestic issues, so they are well aware that Trump and his gang are desperate to paint anything that is agreed upon as a victory for themselves, even if it's the most watered down deal ever.
 

Trump sucks at negotiation. He has no strategy. He's confessed that he doesn't prepare for meeting with DPRK, because he already knows everything he needs to within the first minute of the conversation based on touch and feel.

So, that's what happens when your brain is too stupid to comprehend leverage and unintended consequences.
 
This story was debunked hours ago. The people close to the negotiations said the demand of full disclosure is still on the table but it is more that that, it is the table.
 
It was just a short while ago that people were screaming that Trump would take us into a nuclear war with North Korea

But what happened?

North Korea didn't carry out any missile or nuclear tests in 2018
The last nuclear test in September 2017.
President is doing a pretty good job overall with this situation.
 
Great.

Now I have to risk melting my brain by reading the spastically dishonest attempts to explain how this is all actually better than the U.S & Europe's monitored deal with Iran.

He'll call it a victory. Not one of them will bother to think about how one could possibly assess the nuclear threat a country poses if you tell that country they don't even have to make a show of disclosing everything? No inspectors, not even an unenforceable promise to disclose everything.

Watch.

While they continue to build nuclear capability, having already tested the necessary missiles. Strange how gullible the great dealmaker is. Sad how DERPY the defenses have to be. Saddest that there's even one person willing to utter them.

There's no way Kim will ever let in the kind of monitoring people and equipment we need. That amount of monitoring would rightly be seen as a lethal threat to the regime's long-term survival regardless of nukes.




Note: you could have at least linked what you claim "debunked" it.

As usual another bogus story..... :3oops:

And why are there so many bogus stories? Because the anti-Trump media run with crap without confirming when it is derogatory to Trump. When it is a story that is favorable to Trump they hardly mention it. So the rule of thumb is when you hear derogatory stories about Trump don't be quick to believe it because there's a good chance it will end up being debunked. Look the left and much of this media today do not want Trump to be successful in his endeavors with KJU.

Just want to get you on record for this, so you agree with this tactic of trump doing this right?

Oh something else that came out of Vietnam by a media pool feed. KJU was asked by an American reporter was he even serious of denuclearizing and KJU who hardly speaks replied "If I wasn't serious about denuclearization, I wouldn't be here."

Listen there were missiles flying all over the place and there were nuclear detonations that has all stopped! So gave some credit where it is owed... President Trump. (Trump hate! I understand)
This process is just starting so stop acting like it's over it's not there is still lots of work to be completed. Lots of bitching when this is just the 2nd summit.

Yeah, Trump is making real progress in dealing with North Korea.

Anyone who defends this embarrassment of a president is a weapons-grade moron. All of his supporters are just rock stupid.

No it was not. Stop lying.
 
On the record? :lamo What do you think you work at the White House? ;)

So are you afraid to say if you agree with trump that NK is no longer a nuclear threat?

One you know they work you don't have to test them anymore......

It's not a bogus story. You just can't tell the truth.

The story is true. What you are saying is false. Period, end of conversation.

You have absolutely no credibility.

Damn.

I just learned this new game. Card game.

Three cards. All it takes is you staying aware. I shuffle them around.

You game, G?
 
Pyongyang is not commited to denuclearisation, that should be beyond obvious.

Dotard said two years ago in his first speech to the UN General Assembly that Rocketman was on a suicide mission.

I can't be the only one who is grateful that the rhetoric has been toned down from DEFCON1 while they continue negotiations.

I'm glad it's toned down, but Trump should not have ever cranked it up that high in the first place.

I understand your ignorance on the subject. I was watching Fox when the story broke debunking NBC's claims.They have full coverage of the Summit. You were probably watching CNN and or MSNBC

I understand that you are watching the Trump Network and you have no idea what's going on.

I don't watch cable news. Try again.

You are spewing lies, as you always do. You are completely divorced from reality.

Russian Ambassador Lavrov is also in Vietnam. It is most likely to give Trump his marching orders.
