Good to see Sung Kim involved...former Amb to Korea, nuclear negotiator w/ North & current Amb to Philippines. NSC’s Alison Hooker another experienced & capable professional who knows the material. This could be how we find out if our definition gaps for denuke are bridgeable.

BREAKING: A team of U.S. officials led by Sung Kim crossed into North Korea today to hold summit preparation talks, despite uncertainty surrounding the June 12 Trump-Kim meeting. The North Korean delegation is led by vice foreign minister Choe Son Hui.

That article was only the first third of the Korean article in Rodong Sinmun not translated by them. The rest mostly talks about Libya including the nice phrase "Not knowing it would be suffocated, Libya took off its underwear and fell into a fantasy and negotiated with the US."

Save the date again - Moon says NK & ROK agreed to hold inter-Korean high-level talks on June 1, followed by the talks between the military authorities & also the Red Cross talks for the reunion of separated families.

Unlike some of the other interlocutors, Japan’s position on North Korea at least has the virtue of consistency. Likewise NK’s on Japan. Fair chance that JP, currently marginalised, will be vindicated.

KCNA: "The main object of their ideological and cultural poisoning is to spread the bourgeois ideology and the capitalist way of life to other countries…to benumb the sound consciousness of the people and make them ideologically degenerate and deformed."

KCNA: "It is the calculation of the imperialists that they can attain their aims without firing a single shot if they make the people degenerate and disintegrate ideologically and foment social disorder."

KCNA: "The imperialists now leave no means untried to realize their design for domination over the world. One of the methods is the reactionary ideological and cultural poisoning."

KCNA: "It seems that Japan stills lacks the power of reason and is unaware of what's going on. International efforts for promoting mutual respect and trust and achieving co-prosperity are getting brisk among countries worldwide."

KCNA: "Kono, foreign minister of Japan, again talked rubbish that Japan would 'put maximum pressure on north Korea'… His voice just sounds like grumbling of a dwarf politician going mischievous, ignorant of where he is standing."

I’ve spoken to North Koreans and, while you can never be 100% sure what they’re really thinking, this below is the kind of things they seem to believe deeply

Lee Sung-yoon: Trump needs to follow through on his snub of Kim Jong Un. "Trump must not go wobbly…He must ride the momentum and maintain maximum financial pressure on the Kim regime until it is compelled to make meaningful concessions."

The security dilemma for Kim is more the threat from his own people if he frees up society. He knows that.

Read this thread for whole KNCA statement. This has long been N Korea’s position but never put so forcefully in public

Choo Shin-soo hit a walk-off home run in the bottom of the tenth inning. It was his 176th career Major League homer, putting him ahead of Hideki Matsui for most in the MLB by a player from Asia.
