The U.S. appeared to harden its stance toward North Korea after their latest summit produced no deal. Now Pyongyang may be following suit.
North Korea appears to have hardened its stance toward the United States after President Donald Trump abruptly walked away from their latest bilateral summit with no deals for the nuclear-armed, authoritarian state.
"Dependence," the commentary argued,"can be easy and temporary, but it is like a penalty that makes the people helpless and weakens the national power." Both sides have made goodwill efforts to prove their commitment to what would be a historic peace deal by which North Korea would abandon nuclear weapons in exchange for security and sanctions relief, but progress appeared to have slowed in the months following their Singapore summit last year. Amid closed-door talks between Washington and Pyongyang officials, observers had anticipated that an agreement was in the works for their next sit down at the Vietnamese capital.
