The wide-ranging discussion delves into the complexities of the U.S.-South Korea alliance as both countries navigate domestic political shifts and face evolving challenges in the region. Kang shares his insights on South Korea's considerations surrounding potential domestic nuclear weapons development, the limitations of U.S. security assurances and the missed opportunity of the Hanoi Summit between former U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. The conversation also explores the impact of a potential Trump return to the White House on the alliance, as well as the U.S. role in supporting democracy in Asia. The discussion touches upon potential conflict points between South Korea and the U.S., including trade tensions and policy differences toward Japan and China.

A German delegation traveled to North Korea this week to inspect the condition of the country's embassy in Pyongyang, in what appears to be the first visit by European staff in some four years. NK News Seoul Correspondent Ifang Bremer (@IfangBremer) discusses what this could mean for a broader DPRK border reopening and the return of international aid agencies, as well as the five-year anniversary of the failed Hanoi Summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Then, Professor Ruediger Frank joins the podcast to talk about how the DPRK has reassessed risk amid the emergence of a “new Cold War” and how this has driven its recent closure of embassies in several countries. He also discusses Pyongyang's relationship with Beijing and Moscow and why he believes Kim Jong Un has not actually given up on reunification despite the DPRK's recent revision of its inter-Korean policy. Dr. Ruediger Frank (@Ruediger Frank) is a professor of East Asian economy and society at the University of Vienna, where he heads the Department of East Asian Studies. He spent one semester as a language student at Kim Il Sung University in Pyongyang in 1991/1992. He holds a master's degree in Korean studies and international relations and a Ph.D. in economics.

At the beginning of 2019, Paul Haenle and Tong Zhao, Carnegie–Tsinghua Center Senior Fellow, discussed the outlook for denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula on the China in the World podcast. As 2019 draws to a close, Haenle and Zhao sat down again to analyze developments involving North Korea, the United States, and China over the past year and discuss Kim Jong-un’s end of year deadline for the United States to change its approach to denuclearization negotiations. Zhao pointed to Trump and Kim’s failure to reach an agreement at the Hanoi Summit as the biggest surprise in developments relating to diplomacy on the Korean Peninsula in 2019. In the wake of the summit and following a series of unproductive working-level talks, Kim is ramping up pressure on the United States to extract concessions, Zhao said. Pyongyang only wants a limited agreement from Washington that would see the relaxation of the most stringent United Nations Security Council sanctions in return for some controls on North Korea’s nuclear program. Zhao argued the United States and the international community no longer have the coercive ability to force North Korea to take significant actions that would circumscribe its nuclear program. As we approach North Korea’s end of year deadline, Zhao said he is uncertain to what extent Pyongyang will ratchet up tensions if a deal cannot be reached. However, he noted that Kim is increasingly adept at ensuring provactive actions such as missile tests do not irritate Russia or China, while applying greater pressure on the United States. North Korea increasingly views Trump as a paper tiger, Zhao said. Facing domestic pressures and unwilling to go to war, many in Pyongyang believe Trump will eventually lower his demands and agree to a lesser deal.
Eight months after the historic Singapore summit, the president of the United States, Donald Trump and the North Korea leader, Kim Jong-Un, saw each other again. This time in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. Expectations for this summit indicated that, this time, a concrete agreement would be reached with deadlines, goals and objectives. However, that didn't happen. The media have claimed that the summit was a complete failure, but on VisualPolitik we believe that there are reasons to believe this isn't entirely correct.
South Korean President Moon Jae-in travels to Washington to coordinate with President Trump on policy toward North Korea after the unsuccessful Hanoi Summit. Seoul had hoped a U.S.-North Korean agreement would lead to relaxation of some sanctions and enable inter-Korean economic projects. There was no agreement in Hanoi and U.S. policy on sanctions since has been, at best, inconsistent. Meanwhile, neither the U.S. nor South Korea have been willing to confront Pyongyang over its atrocious human rights record.Join us as a distinguished panel of experts discusses the U.S.-South Korean relationship and recommendations for coordinating policy on North Korea.

Despite the high hopes many were feeling in the lead up to second Trump-Kim meeting, the Summit was probably dead before it even began late last month at the colonial-era Metropole Hotel in downtown Hanoi. But who pulled the trigger? What was the poison pill? And where do the United States and North Korea need to go from here to guarantee a lasting peace? On this episode host Andre Goulet is joined by speechwriter and former U.S. State Department diplomat Mintaro Oba, who last appeared on the show early last summer in the run-up to the Trump/Kim Singapore summit, to explore all this and more on episode 82 of The Korea File. This conversation was recorded on March 26th, 2019.

It's Donny v. Kimmy round 2 in this episode! This is our quick recap and views of the second summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and United States President Donald Trump. The summit took place Feb. 27 and 28 this year before being cut short by the POTUS, who decided to walk away from negotiations and cancel the remainder of the event.
Patricia Kim analyzes the failure of the Hanoi Summit. “China should lean in,” says Kim discussing the spectrum of tools Beijing has available from diplomacy to unilateral sanctions. In future negotiations, the U.S. should focus on “hammering out a clearly defined and time bound roadmap that ends with the de-nuclearization of North Korea.”

The breakdown in dialogue at last week's Hanoi Summit was driven, in part, by the inability for both sides to communicate clearly what their objectives and timelines were. As Glyn Ford explains in his new book, however, poor communication between Washington and Pyongyang is a chronic problem that has derailed real progress on the nuclear issue --progress that, he claims, Kim Jong Un is willing to pursue. Glyn Ford was a Member of the European Parliament for over 25 years, serving as a Member of the Foreign Affairs and International Trade Committees. He now works as a director at Track2Asia, and has visited North Korea almost fifty times.

Moon said in a speech that the summit’s failure makes South Korea even more important on the world stage. But polls show that most South Koreans wanted the summit to succeed. Meanwhile, the North Koreans wanted sanctions relief more than anything, and they got none of that.

In this episode I address the complete collapse of the collusion fairytale after the Cohen testimony. I also address the real reason that the anti-Trump conspirators are panicking as their narrative collapse. They are hiding something big. Finally, I address the Hanoi Summit from an on-the-ground perspective here in Vietnam. News Picks: This 2017 Lee Smith piece about the “movie script” dossier is worth your time. Trump associate destroys Dem congresswoman after she’s called a “prop.” The hack media spends hours covering the nonsensical Cohen hearing while spending just minutes on the Hanoi Summit. On cue, the dreadful Washington Post rushes to the defense of the pro-abortion, infanticide Democrats. The economy is still humming as the fourth quarter growth numbers come in.

KTSA radio host Jack Riccardi invites Judge Steve Hilbig, Robert Fleming and introducing Demonte Alexander to discuss the topics of the week, including Michael Cohen's testimony, and did Trump really fail the Hanoi Summit with N. Korea?
North Korea is disputing the account by US President Donald Trump, of why the summit between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un collapsed. North Korea's foreign minister says they demanded only partial sanctions relief in exchange for shuttering its main nuclear complex, and that the discussions collapsed after the U.S. demanded further disarmament steps. That contradicted the explanation by Trump, who earlier told reporters that North Korea had demanded a full removal of sanctions in exchange for closing the Yongbyon nuclear facility.

This week the world prepares for the Hanoi Summit between Kim Jong Un and President Trump. We speak to our resident missile defense expert Riki Ellison and find out if he thinks denuclearization is possible. Then we're traveling to Venezuela to speak to our newest voice about the future of Maduro. Now that the US has taken a leadership role in ousting the dictator, we'll see if the people of Venezuela are ready for a regime change and if it's even possible. Finally, on Change Is Hard, we're going green for the kids with Senator Feinstein and Tucker Carlson loses it in an interview and it's gold.
