Trump knows exactly what he wants from North Korea (and should not be underestimated)
OPINION - By Brett Velicovich | Fox News
US, North Korea trade blame for failed negotiations
Trump-Kim talks collapse over sanctions dispute; reaction and analysis from the 'Special Report' All-Star panel.
President Trump’s decision to walk away from a bad deal with North Korea proves that his critics are clueless about how he conducts diplomacy.
The president’s second summit meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ended earlier than anticipated Thursday with the announcement that he had rejected the deal put forth by Kim because it doesn’t suit America’s interests.
Despite the failure to reach an agreement to denuclearize North Korea, the summit still produced some encouraging signs, such as Kim’s offer to shut down a significant part of his nuclear fuel production capabilities. But the concessions weren’t enough to justify the complete repeal of sanctions that Kim demanded in return.

The intent behind these speculative warnings was clear – the mainstream media wanted to portray President Trump as a desperate and naive leader eager to accept any potential agreement in order to boost his approval ratings.
Such assessments, however, fundamentally misunderstand the nature of President Trump’s foreign policy, which is designed to strengthen America’s role in the world – even if that means defying diplomatic orthodoxy in order to protect U.S. interests.
Ironically, what the mainstream media and pundits were speculating might have happened in Hanoi was exactly what did happen for years with North Korea, well before Donald Trump ever sat across the table from Kim Jong Un.
Bad deal after bad deal, in which payoffs were made to North Korea to reduce its nuclear ambitions, marked decades of failed U.S. policy that President Trump now has to correct because his predecessors were too eager to claim victory with meaningless agreements to score political points.
Not this president.

President Trump has already pulled out of the disastrous Iran nuclear deal and withdrew the U.S. from the outdated Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty that Russia repeatedly and flagrantly violated. Both decisions drew criticism from his political foes, but the president ignored those risks to do what was best for the security of the American people, just as he did by walking out on Kim.
Contrary to the biased assumptions of his critics, President Trump knows exactly what he wants from North Korea – complete and verifiable denuclearization that can serve as a prelude to permanent peace. A bad nuclear deal that undermines U.S. security simply isn’t anything the president would ever accept.
