Moon meets Obama, says last chance for NK talks

Moon meets Obama, says last chance for NK talks
Korean Herald, Jul 3, 2017

President Moon Jae-in renewed his resolve to pursue sanctions and dialogue to tackle North Korea’s nuclear program during a meeting with former US President Barack Obama on Monday, saying now is the “last chance” for the regime to return to the negotiating table.

During the 40-minute talk, Moon shared the results of his recent summit with his incumbent US counterpart Donald Trump, asking for Obama’s advice on ways to advance the relationship. The former president stressed bipartisan US support for the alliance and wished Moon success in his presidency, according to Cheong Wa Dae.

“President Trump and I agreed to continue to apply sanctions and pressure to resolve the North’s nuclear and missile issues, while pursuing dialogue in parallel,” Moon was quoted as saying by his press secretary Yoon Young-chan.

“Obama said that as many South Koreans hope for his success, Moon would no doubt meet the people’s expectations, quoting former President Abraham Lincoln whom he said he respects the most that with the people’s support you can do anything.”

Obama arrived in Seoul on Sunday along with his wife Michelle and daughters, Sasha and Malia, marking his first visit since his term came to an end in January.

The meeting came at a delicate time, a day after Moon returned from Washington. At a joint news conference there, Trump openly derided Obama’s “strategic patience” policy on North Korea as “failed” and a bilateral free trade pact sealed during his term as “not exactly a great deal.”

Shadow President? Obama Meets With South Korean President To Discuss Trump
Daily Caller, Jul 3, 2017

Former President Barack Obama seems to be feeling nostalgic for his old job, meeting with South Korean President Moon Jae-in Monday for 40 minutes.

The Korea Herald reported that Moon spoke about his recent meetings with President Trump in Washington and asked Obama for his advice on how to improve that relationship.

The meeting came after Obama spoke at the Asian Leadership Conference and the Fourth Congress of Indonesian Diaspora in Jakarta. There he attacked Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris climate change accord.

In Paris, we came together around the most ambitious agreement in history about climate change, an agreement that even with the temporary absence of American leadership can still give our children a fighting chance,” Obama said in Indonesia.

Did he get official permission to go meeting with foreign officials?  Wasn't there a dustup several years ago about other prominent individuals meeting with foreign officials without permission from the Us government?

Asking Obama for advice on how to advance the US-SK relationship? Only if you plan on doing the opposite of what Obama advises.

There was no mention of official permission in the articles ... Obama was there on "vacation".

So perhaps someone should dig up what the rules are on when prominent Americans need official permission before visiting with foreign government officials, and start raising a ruckus if he broke them.

That's the point of my earlier post.  I'm not sure he can do so just as he pleases without some official OK.

Rules do not apply to Obama. He is in a protected class.

Will he be making any speaking engagements? Picking up "donations" to the Obama Foundation, like the Clintons do?

Violating the Logan Act, yet we know nothing will happen to obama/valjar.  Will he follow behind Trump for all of his visits around the world?

Guess he's invoking the Carter Rule...in that he's a Liberal therefore he doesn't have to get permission before talking with a fellow Lib.

It was just six months ago.
The incoming Trump team was meeting with foreign officials that
they WERE GOING TO and NOW ARE coordinating with.

Obama is FLAGRANTLY violating the Logan Act -
falsely pretending to represent the U.S. government!
