US Considers Opening Embassy in Pyongyang| Embassy would be an incentive to offer to North Korea at summit
One big incentive that the United States may offer to North Korea during the upcoming summit is the possibility of opening an American Embassy in Pyongyang, the first time the US would have ever had such an embassy post.
The summit, during which President Trump and Kim Jong-un will meet, is set for either May or early June. With officials insisting they won’t give North Korea anything without permanent denuclearization, officials are scrambling to find something they can offer as a confidence-building measure in the talks.
Having an embassy, and by extension having formal diplomatic ties, would be a big upgrade in US relations with North Korea.
