North Korea Warns Biden Administration Regarding Denuclearization
Biden administration’s insistence on adopting the same emphasis on the denuclearization that Trump had is not helping when they insist on something North Korea has rejected flat out.
Biden Administration Receives Surprise Response
Jen Psaki previously told reporters that the administration had reached out to Kim Jong Un but had not received a response, despite multiple attempts by the U.S. to engage.” With the firing of the recent missiles and two test fires, North Korea is now responding — but not with talk.
The United States wants to confirm Korea’s willingness for full denuclearization first. Still, it is concerned about the outcome of a “bad deal,” which could fail to meet the nuclear non-proliferation treaty’s (NPT) international standards allowing it to maintain a covert program.
North Korea feels that denuclearization is contingent on the U.S. lifting what it calls the “hostile policy” of diplomatic, military, and economic pressure.
Many experts feel that both parties need to talk. Markus Garlauskas sees this as a sign of North Korea’s continuation of advancing its missile programs, which could lead to larger launches involving multiple nuclear weapons.
Kim Yo-jong had never elaborated on exactly what would happen if the U.S. did not heed their warning. Now, with the firing of the missiles, she absolutely has Biden’s attention.
