Diplomat Says U.S. Ready to Be Flexible in Negotiations with North Korea

It is looking more and more like North Korea’s pressure campaign may be working to get the Trump administration to make concessions on sanctions:

The United States is ready to be flexible in negotiations with North Korea on dismantling the regime’s nuclear weapons program, the U.S. envoy to the United Nations said Wednesday, urging Pyongyang to refrain from provocations.

Ambassador Kelly Craft made the remarks at a U.N. Security Council session as Pyongyang’s year-end deadline for nuclear negotiations with Washington draws near.

Amid indications the North is preparing to launch a long-range missile, Craft warned that such activity will only complicate efforts to implement an agreement reached by U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un at their first summit in Singapore in June 2018.

GI, you may be misreading what Ambassador Craft was saying… Trump and his team are–and have been–willing to provide the norkistani leadership all kinds of carrots to behave properly… The stick is still there.

And, unlike our repetitive troll’s one liner, Trump doesn’t need to launch a “preemptive attack” on the deeperk. His three-year diplomatic push will make any attempts by Kim Fatty III to test nukes or launch ICBMs look like an attack on the United States, allowing a nearly unanimous UNSC vote to defend the free world…

As predicted. Just a mattet of time. Always knew who would win the chicken fight.

I just saw this gif. Looks related to South Korean negotiations with US and Japan while pretending communism is just a fad up north. Can anyone translate for me?
