WASHINGTON: North Korea warned on Wednesday that it would bail out of a
scheduled June 12 summit between its leader Kim Jong Un and US President Donald
Trump if Washington attempted to corner
Pyongyang with unilateral denuclearization demands and continued its military
drills with South Korea that
it sees as part of an existential threat.
The North Korean backsliding, apparently in response to
aggressive US talk on the need for "complete verifiable irreversible
denuclearization" by Pyongyang before Washington eased any pressure, put
the Singapore summit on skids, suggesting the celebratory commentary about
bringing the reclusive communist regime to heel is premature.
US commentators of conservative hue had gone overboard with Trump’s diplomatic triumph in engaging North Korea, but the quixotic country provided a stark reminder that it was not about to roll over in a one-sided capitulation that much of the world read into its decision to engage directly with the US. Apparently, North Korea has demands too from the US and South Korea.
