Trump to talk directly to Kim Jong Un..."Facing" in Korea? [Anchor Report]

Recently, there has been news that the Trump transition team is pushing for direct talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

With inter-Korean relations cut off as they are now, there are concerns that if the U.S. and North Korea engage in direct talks, we could be "passing," or marginalized.

Let's take a look at the situation.

Compared to the first period, the second Trump administration is expected to speed up dialogue between North Korea and the U.S. from the beginning.

In the first phase, it took 1 year and 5 months for the two leaders to meet for the first time, but

This time, we've been starting the engine even before it was launched.

The rush is attributed to the Republican Party's control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives, unlike in the first term, and the confidence that it has already experienced Kim Jong-un is added.

Talks with North Korea have become even more important for Trump, who is trying to achieve diplomatic results upon its launch.

This is because it is linked to the Russia-Ukraine war with the existing denuclearization agenda and the dispatch of North Korean troops.

So there's a possibility that Trump could engage in direct trade with Kim Jong-un in a 'top-down' manner,

As of now, inter-Korean relations are at the level of collapse and North Korea and Russia are tied up as blood allies, making it difficult for us to get involved in dialogue.

Of course, it is unlikely that North Korea will easily engage in dialogue.

At Trump's gesture, he devalued the conversation at the time of the first period, saying, "I've been to everywhere I can go to negotiations with the United States," and "What is certain is the hostile policy toward Korea."

Now that we have already advanced our nuclear armament considerably and are close to Russia, there seems to be not many incentives to respond to the dialogue.

North Korea is the biggest threat to our security and at the same time a key management factor in the situation in East Asia.

It is time for a more precise diplomatic and security response in a much more complex equation than in the past, from the severance of inter-Korean relations, the Russia-U.S. war, and the stronger Trump.
