Donald Trump unwound new U.S. sanctions on North Korea claiming they were unnecessary. But the reversal was really a recognition that sanctions have failed to weaken North Korea’s economy or make progress towards denuclearization. Trump’s meeting with South Korean President Moon Jae-in next week is meant to show that he’s still on the case, but it’s just cosmetic.
China prioritizes stability of the Korean peninsula over enforcing sanctions. Trade with China in fuel, seafood, silkworms, and cell phones continues. Western-style economic policies suggest Kim Jong Un may be channeling Deng Xiaoping’s path to a more open economy. The South China Morning Post faulted the U.S. for obstructing North Korea’s progress, though it has not suggested lifting sanctions while Kim pursues his nuclear program.
Rather than improving on that record, Trump has given Kim what he always wanted. He halted 70 years of joint military exercises with South Korea, without notifying South Korea’s leaders or the Pentagon, and justified it by saying the exercises were expensive and, astonishingly, echoing Kim’s criticism of the exercises as “very provocative.” Kim’s long-term goals include unification with South Korea without the presence or influence of the U.S.
This may be the dumbest storyline I’ve ever read..........

Criminy, Newsweek.....yet again.
