On North Korea, Trump deserves more latitude and less attitude

by Marc A. Thiessen June 15 at 7:55 AM

Well, that didn’t take long. President Trump had barely departed Singapore when Democrats in Washington unleashed scathing attacks over his meeting with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. “What the United States has gained is vague and unverifiable at best. What North Korea has gained, however, is tangible and lasting,” Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) fumed. “In his haste to reach an agreement, President Trump elevated North Korea to the level of the United States while preserving the regime’s status quo,” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) protested.

Please. Where were these complaints when President Barack Obama was enjoying peanuts and Cracker Jack with Raúl Castro at a Havana ballpark? And a few months ago, Schumer was decrying Trump’s “reckless” military threats and Pelosi was complaining about his “saber-rattling.” Now, suddenly, Trump’s gone from warmonger to the second coming of Neville Chamberlain?

The criticism is premature and overwrought. Trump made no real concessions in Singapore. He did not lift sanctions, unfreeze North Korean assets or send secret planes loaded with hard currency to Pyongyang. He did not sign an agreement ending the Korean War or offer Pyongyang diplomatic recognition. All the president did was, as a goodwill gesture, suspend military exercises with South Korea — a decision he can easily reverse. And the fact that the statement the two leaders signed referred only to “complete denuclearization,” not “complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearization,” does not mean that Trump gave up verification or irreversibility in the deal, because there is no “deal” yet, only a “communique” that summarized what the two leaders discussed. We are at the start of the negotiating process, not the end.

Echoing the article, where was all of the clamor about Obama not getting anything in the Cuba deal?

NO.

We already did this with Bill Clinton and North Korea back in 1994.

We will wait for results and verification and proofs of what Trump claims before we herald the ticker-tape parades with worthless Norwegian prizes now being requested.

Can't even post the link to the article you had, just making up things. The above article refutes what you say. Just some people going after the President.

As usual, your points are debunked.

Oh, I'm 'just making up' similar claims made by Bill Clinton about North Korea in 1994?   October to be specific?

You want to put some hard cash on that claim genius?

Or like everything else, history is simply what you fanatics for Trump say it is?
