Donald Trump wanted to do something that no other president had ever accomplished. He wanted to meet with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un to reach a historic agreement on nuclear disarmament and lasting peace on the Korean peninsula. Trump failed either party.
This is a leader. The leader expresses the attitude of VG. The political editor of VG is responsible for the leader.
The North Korean Communist Party congress ended with a large military parade before the weekend, where they allegedly displayed new weapons of mass destruction.
Kim Jong-un declared that the United States remains enemy number one. The only thing that came out of Trump’s unorthodox diplomacy regarding Kim were some beautiful letters and images of leaders exchanging handshakes.
In the first year of Trump’s presidency, tensions rose to dangerous levels. Trump called Kim the little rocket man and threatened him with “fire and rage the world has never seen before.”
Kim described Trump as an elderly and mentally weakened man. Everything changed abruptly in 2018. Kim noted that he was ready to negotiate and may see opportunities in relation to an inexperienced and unconventional president. Trump wanted a foreign policy triumph.

Trump and Kim met three times. In addition, the dictator wrote letters that the president found so beautiful that they fell in love. In Hanoi, just over 13 months ago, the love story ended.
Trump said that sometimes it’s okay to just walk away. The United States would not accept North Korea’s demand that all sanctions be lifted against the isolated country for the closure of a uranium enrichment plant. Kim has not ruled out a single nuclear weapon. Instead, the regime has expanded its arsenal.
Since the military parade that ended the party’s congress, the official KCNA news agency reported that the country has “the most powerful weapon in the world.” Rearmament continues and the country is now said to have developed missiles that can be fired from a submarine.

At the party congress, Kim Jong-un sends a clear message to Joe Biden. It shows the military strength of the regime. Nuclear weapons are their only means of pressure. What Kim wants is to ensure his own position and the survival of the regime.
To be in a better negotiating position, the United States must work closely with allies in the region. In addition, Biden must try to get other great powers by initiative. Here, China plays a key role as North Korea’s sole ally.
Trump chose to hold a summit first and then put diplomats to work. Biden will likely let diplomats explore the possibilities first. The United States must always keep the door open to negotiations with North Korea. This is a conflict that can only be resolved through diplomacy. Biden is experienced and realizes that this is one of the most difficult foreign policy challenges he faces.
