US President Donald Trump made his fourth speech to the UN General Assembly during his tenure, but for the first time did not mention North Korea. The US ambassador to the United Nations stressed that President Trump’s vision for North Korea has come a long way. Reporter Park Hyung-joo reports.
In a speech at the UN General Assembly on the 22nd, President Donald Trump showed the signing of a peace treaty in the Middle East on external issues, but did not mention the issue of North Korea.
In a video address (prerecorded) that lasted approximately 7 minutes on the day, President Trump has spent much of it criticizing China for the new coronavirus pandemic.
President Trump said: “75 years after the founding of the United Nations, we are again engaged in a huge international struggle. We are fighting fiercely with the invisible enemy ‘Chinese virus’, which has killed countless lives in 188 countries.”
“In the early days of the virus outbreak, China infected the world by allowing foreign flights and blocking domestic travel.”
[녹취: 트럼프 대통령]“The Chinese government and the World Health Organization, which is virtually controlled by China, falsely stated that there was no evidence of person-to-person transmission. Later, they falsely said that people without symptoms would not spread the disease. The United Nations must hold China accountable for its actions. “The Chinese government and the virtually Chinese-dominated World Health Organization (WHO) provided false information, which does not include evidence of person-to-person transmission of the coronavirus, and the United Nations should hold China accountable.
In his speech that day, President Trump also emphasized ‘America First’, highlighting its achievements during his tenure, including economic growth, military consolidation and the recent signing of a Middle East peace treaty.
Regarding the nuclear issue, he says he withdrew the Iranian nuclear agreement and imposed strong sanctions against “the largest terrorist-supporting country in the world.”
But President Trump said nothing on the North Korean issue.
This is the first time that President Trump, who has spoken four times at the UN General Assembly so far, has made no comment on North Korea.
In 2017, when tensions between the United States and North Korea peaked, President Trump sent a strong warning message to North Korea in his first speech at the UN General Assembly.
He referred to President Kim Jong-un as a ‘rocket’ who committed ‘suicide’, and warned that if North Korea continues its brutal provocation, “there will be no choice but to destroy it completely.”
But in 2018, when the Singapore Summit was held, he said: “We are talking to North Korea to replace the specter of war with a bold new quest for peace,” and thanked President Kim Jong-un for his courage. .
In a speech in 2019 after the collapse of the Hanoi summit, he said, “We are conducting bold diplomacy on the Korean peninsula” and reminded President Kim that “denuclearization is necessary to realize North Korea’s potential. “.
US Ambassador to the United Nations Kelly Kraft said in a comment before President Trump’s video address: “In relation to North Korea, Trump’s courageous vision has made remarkable progress.”
[녹취: 크래프트 대사] “About North Korea. The president’s courageous vision has shown remarkable progress. President Trump is the first American president to meet with North Korean leaders, the captive Americans in North Korea have returned home. There has been no new nuclear test, no long-range missile test, a dramatic drop in diplomatic temperature in the region and an opening for a lasting agreement that will bring peace to the peninsula ”.President Trump is the first US president to meet with a North Korean leader and that American hostages held in North Korea have been repatriated.
In addition, North Korea’s new nuclear tests and long-range missile tests have been halted and open the door to a permanent agreement that will dramatically reduce diplomatic tensions in the region and bring peace to the Korean peninsula, said the Kraft ambassador.
South Korean President Moon Jae-in said in a keynote address at the UN General Assembly that day, “Peace on the Korean peninsula is still incomplete and hope-filled change is stopping” in regarding the North Korean problem, but “Korea will continue the dialogue.” .
In particular, he said, “peace on the Korean peninsula will guarantee peace in Northeast Asia and positively affect changes in the world order.” He said: “The beginning of the declaration is the end of the war on the Korean peninsula.”
[녹취:문재인 대통령]“I hope that the United Nations and the international community will also join forces to move towards the era of reconciliation and prosperity through the End of War Declaration. The declaration of the end of the war will be the door that opens the way to a permanent peace regime along with the denuclearization in the Korean peninsula ”.President Moon said, “I believe that if the international community continues to support and cooperate, denuclearization and permanent peace will surely be achieved on the Korean peninsula.”
In addition, President Moon proposed a “Northeast Asia quarantine and health cooperation body” in which China, Japan, Mongolia, and South Korea, including North Korea, participate together, saying, “We have been emphasizing cooperation between the two Koreas in the field of disasters and medical care. ”
Meanwhile, Xi Jinping, Chinese President Xi Jinping, said in a video speech on the day that ‘politicization’ in relation to the crown crisis must be stopped, urging that the issue be resolved through dialogue.
