North Korea Says Kim-Trump Ties Are ‘Not Bad’ but It’s Not Giving up Its Nuclear Weapons

  • On Tuesday , Kim Yo Jong said North Korea rejects future dialogue unless the U.S. accepts its status as a nuclear weapons state.
  • Amid reminders of past breakdowns, Kim Yo Jong noted that the 2018-19 summit talks unraveled after Trump rejected Kim’s calls for extensive sanctions relief, leading to the talks' collapse.
  • Yo Jong added, `But if Washington intended to use a personal relationship as a way to end the North's nuclear weapons program, the effort would only be the subject of "mockery," Kim Yo Jong said in a statement carried by KCNA.`
  • Prospects hinge on the Russia-Ukraine war ending soon and U.S. tariff negotiations proceeding as Trump prefers, analysts say.
  • Given expanded weapons tests, analysts note that Kim Jong Un has since modernized and expanded North Korea’s nuclear arsenal, making denuclearization talks less compelling than in 2019.
