Who Are the North Korea Experts in the White House?

https://politicalwire.com/2018/03/09/north-korea-experts-white-house/

"SNIP.......


First Read: “The North Korea talks mean that Trump has to keep National Security Adviser HR McMaster, right? MSNBC reported that the White House has been preparing to replace McMaster as early as in April. Well, it would be VERY hard to do that now. Also, there is no ambassador to South Korea or any real North Korean experts working inside the White House. Who on Trump’s team has experience in knowing how to deal with North Korea and Kim Jong Un?”

Trump asked why 'pretty Korean lady' analyst wasn't in North Korea negotiations

13 Jan 2018


Amid a global furore over his reported remarks about “shithole countries” and immigration, Donald Trump faced further controversy on Friday when it was reported that he referred to an intelligence analyst presenting information to him in the Oval Office as a “pretty Korean lady” and suggested she should be part of negotiations with North Korea.


NBC News reported the exchange between the president and a “career intelligence analyst who is an expert in hostage policy”. The analyst, the report said, was briefing Trump last fall on “the impending release of a family long held in Pakistan”.

Citing two officials with direct knowledge of the exchange, NBC said the president asked the analyst where she was from, to which she said New York City. Trump reportedly pressed, asking where “your people” were from.

The NBC report said the analyst said her parents were Korean, leading Trump to ask an adviser why the “pretty Korean lady” was not involved in negotiations with nuclear-armed North Korea.

I think Putin... What are the chances that Putin is using Kim as a surrogate to poke us in the eye. I think he gave N Korea all their nuclear info so there is another front to mess with us.
Russia, China and N Korea.. All communist. Putin hated that the U.S. "messed up mother Russia" and he defiantly hates Hillary. Hence all the meddling in our election. YMMV.

Trump only has so many family members, in-laws, drivers, lawyers, accountants, hairdressers, tailors, party planners, shoeshine boys and interior decorators. They're spread pretty thin as it is.

I think his name is Yun or something. I saw his name on tv for less than 2 seconds.
