Hard nosed negotiations bring North Korea back to the table, reaching out to President Trump after he scolded the DPRK for insulting Vice President Mike Pence.
The political gamesmanship at play with regards to the Singapore peace summit has reached new heights today, as President Trump announced earlier that the conference was officially back on schedule for June 12 according to Fox News .
The comments to the press were made following his meeting with North Korean official Kim Yong Chol, the same deputy of the DPRK that had drawn the ire of President Trump for his rude comments surrounding Vice President Pence, having called his comments on the matter “stupid” and “ignorant”. Kim Yong Chol delivered a letter to President Trump of which the contents currently remain unknown to the larger public, although the meeting in and of itself signals cooling tensions between the two nations.
This does not mean that the existing punitive tariffs will be removed or altered, however. These tariffs were exacted in response to North Korean military belligerence in the year or two prior, seeing the communist nation firing multiple test missiles and threatening more. President Trump reiterated his promise that the tariffs would remain solidly in place until such time as Kim Jong-un and the leadership of the DPRK agreed to completely denuclearize.
