Chuck Schumer: Trump has given a ‘brutal and repressive dictatorship’ legitimacy

by Alexander Bolton


Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Tuesday criticized a joint diplomatic statement released a few hours before from President Trump and North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un as lacking detail and giving Kim too much room to back out.

Schumer said by meeting with Kim, Trump has given “a brutal and repressive dictatorship the international legitimacy it has long craved.”

“It is best not to dive in head first and hope for the best but rather to work slowly, transparently and verifiably to build trust and lock in concessions,” Schumer warned.

Schumer argued the agreement lacks detail on achieving a pathway to the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula, on how the United States may verify that North Korea has disarmed and on how to ensure that North Korea stops enriching plutonium and uranium.

“The document is short on details,” Schumer said. “As we have learned in the wake of the collapse of the 1994 and 2005 agreements, North Korea is liable to backtrack on vague commitments as soon as it's in their interest.”

Schumer argued that Kim has “a history” of backing out of agreements and raised concern that the North Korean leader may not make any further concession now that he scored the public relations coup of meeting with a U.S. president as an equal on the international stage.

I would say NK "international legitimacy" was gained by its weapons program.  SK and US (Trump) are just the first to really deal with it.

Chuck is in panic mode to get talking points out to his Socialist pals. This one isn't going to fly either.

Hell, Obama didn't consult with Congress on any of his corrupt deals. Trump is.

With all due respect, Mr. Schumer, treating NK as a pariah state as Obama did didn’t get us very far, so perhaps it’s time to try a different tactic.

What will matter is not the result of this particular meeting so much as what happens in future.

And how could I forget - Cuba. Even better example. Of course they are commies so Obama could not let his ideological brothers and sisters dangle in the wind.

He did on the Iran deal and we still got a bad one, despite Republican control of the House and Senate.
