Kim Jong Un hasn't changed his stance on denuclearization

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un reportedly has not changed his stance on denuclearization, even as he seeks to find common ground with the U.S. in order to secure a summit with President Trump.

Kim's stance on denuclearization of the Korean peninsula remains "unchanged, consistent and fixed," state media quoted him as saying, according to North Korean media reported by Reuters.

Trump last week cancelled a summit with Kim planned for June 12 in Singapore over what he cited as North Korea's "tremendous anger and open hostility" in recent public statements. The U.S. also said North Korean officials failed to meet their U.S. counterparts for a planning meeting ahead of the summit.

Since then, both countries have indicated willingness to renegotiate the summit.

However, the two countries still have not reached a consensus on denuclearization. The U.S. wants a complete, "irreversible" and "verifiable" dismantling of North Korea's nuclear sites. Many experts believe that Kim's insistence on a "complete denuclearization of the Korean peninsula" and security guarantees by the U.S. includes caveats for South Korea and a requirement that the U.S. withdraw its military presence in South Korea.

1. Anyone ever ask South Korea what they want? American media is as egocentric as ever.

2. I think he is serious, North Korea can't continue existing the way it does forever

There's another recent article claiming that Kim Jong Un cried that he can't improve the economy


A video of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un crying about his country's terrible economy while surveying its coast is said to be making the rounds among the country's leadership — and it could be a sign he's ready to cave in to President Donald Trump in negotiations.

Japan's Asahi Shinbun quoted a defector with contacts inside the country as describing a video in which a narrator explains Kim is crying that he can't improve North Korea's economy.

The defector reportedly said the video surfaced in April and high-ranking members of North Korea's ruling party viewed it, possibly in an official message from Kim to the party.
