Moon urges Biden to learn from Trump's N. Korea diplomacy

South Korean President Moon Jae-in speaks during an on-line New Year press conference with local and foreign journalists at the Presidential Blue House in Seoul, South Korea Monday, Jan. 18, 2021.

Biden has accused Trump of chasing the spectacle of summits rather than meaningful curbs on the North’s nuclear capabilities. North Korea has a history of staging weapons tests and other provocations to test new U.S. presidents, and Kim vowed to strengthen his nuclear weapons program in recent political speeches that were seen as aimed at pressuring the incoming Biden administration.

When asked about the North’s efforts to increase its ballistic capacity to strike targets throughout South Korea, including U.S. bases there, Moon said the South could sufficiently cope with such threats with its missile defense systems and other military assets. During an eight-day congress of North Korea’s Workers’ Party that ended last week, Kim described the United States as his country’s “foremost principal enemy.” He didn’t entirely rule out talks, but he said the fate of bilateral relations would depend on whether Washington abandons its hostile policy toward Pyongyang.

But Kim during the ruling party congress already described such offers as “inessential” while slamming South Korea for its own efforts to strengthen defense capabilities and continuing annual military exercises with the United States, which were downsized under Trump to create space for diplomacy. But the negotiations faltered after their second meeting in February 2019 when the Americans rejected the North Korean demands for major sanctions relief in exchange for the dismantling of an aging nuclear reactor, which would have amounted to a partial surrender of its nuclear capabilities.

What’s up with all these other countries trying to lecture Biden?!!

🤔🧐😕 What?!

.....and buy more Korean shit!!!!

Moon was a NK puppet!

I’m curious about this plea. Does Moon really think that pandering to North Korea is a viable strategy?

Yeah... not gonna be an issue with Joe.

Achievements?

Trump's approach to N. Korea had no achievements. It consisted of elevating Kim while getting nothing in return. Something N. Korea has been trying to do for decades.

Real, True Leadership on display, a plan with vision, determination and empathy, unlike the vile lies, misinformation, rhetoric and nastiness of the past 4 years under Trump. Democracy, Style and Compassion have prevailed over the hideous divisive, Treasonous, criminal Trump Era

Trump favs dictators you understand .....

A back staber

What achievements? I don’t remember any peace treaties, any denuclearization agreements, nothing successful. Just Kim getting multiple photo ops to make himself look good at America’s expense.

Achievements?

That’s not going to happen

Prepare for a return the normalitive incompetence.

Whatever Come off it ! Whatells is news ?

tell him not to wworry

Well currently South Korea doesn't glow in the dark and honestly disappeared from always threatening everyone so how much better can Biden do? What will he bow to Kim

This guy is pro N korean. He is so naive to say such things to incoming president to learn from his step daddy. Shibaloma

That is a slap in the face! Wow.

Since when is a love letter from a homicidal dictator an achievement?

Foreign countries are happier with tRump's policies than we are.

US need to accept it

Um right because now trump has more capability.

What achievements? Trump raged over the THAAD defense system used to protect S. Korea & wanted it moved to Portland, he legitimized Kim's regime for a photo-op, and called the Dictator a friend all while N.Korea tested and developed massive new ICBMs.

NK is going to test nuclear devices & rockets no matter who is President, hasn't that been made clear. Also who are we the only nation who has used atomic weapons on people to tell others what they can and can't have. They weapons are a deterrent by NK against an invasion.

Moon has been on appeasement at any cost Just surrender to Kim

Well said

Orange🍊45 should not be allowed to RUN AGAIN for any office, get intelligence briefs, & TAXPAYERS should not PAY for a pension, lifetime Secret Service ,travel benefits, etc . ALL the LOSER should get is PRISON TIME for COVID deaths, CAGED babies, RAPE, INSURRECTION...etc.

I’m sure Biden doesn’t need any advice from either of the Koreas’ and they have nothing to fear he’ll be using the ex presidents foreign policy as a blueprint for his own.

An imaginary BS relationship? Okay.

Is he nuts? Achievements? Name one

South Korea kissing kims ass too? Won't be long until Kim takes over SK...

“...and learn from the failures of President Donald Trump’s diplomatic engagement with North Korea.” Wow.

That's interesting considering Obama's total failure to diplomatically engage with North Korea as they repeatedly tested nuclear devices.

Every diplomat and world leader gonna be roasting Trump for the next few years whenever they talk policy

Hell no

“To learn from the MANY MANY MANY FAILURES of president trump” 😂🤣

Hillary would’ve carpet bombed Pyongyang in her first 100 days.

N. Korea legit said US is a super threat and they gotta show power to the US like what.. two weeks ago? What lol

I don't believe Biden and Kim Jong Un will be exchanging love letters like Trump and Kim did, that's for sure.

Wait, love letters?

That’s not going to hAppEn....

There were no achievements from Trump

Does he mean the ones that set N. Korea up as a genuine nuclear threat with nothing to show for it except non-existent bragging rights and handshake photo ops?

Biden should consider sending Trump to be the ambassador to North Korea

The duality of man

thank you very much for your work

What achievements? Giving Kim undeserved legitimacy by meeting with him? Achieving no amount of disarmament?

What achievements?

get a load of this fuckin guy

What achievements?

failures? what failures?

So, 'Do Better.' ?
