A prominent South Korean newspaper in an editorial Wednesday said that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un “got everything he wanted” in his historic summit with President Trump.
The Chosun Ilbo, one of the major newspapers in South Korea, blasted Trump in an editorial for not doing enough to secure the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.
The editorial noted a lack of specifics in denuclearizing North Korea mentioned in the agreement signed by the two countries and noted Trump’s mentioning of possible hotel developments in the country, writing that “there is no deadline to be found anywhere, and instead Trump is talking about real estate development on North Korea’s coast.”
The newspaper also hit Trump for agreeing to end military exercises with South Korea, saying that past drills have proved to be “an effective means of pressuring the North.”
“But Trump gave North Korea a major gift even before it has taken any steps toward complete denuclearization.
