    Default Pompeo Says North Korea Sanctions To Remain Until Complete Denuclearization

    Good, that's as it should be. I don't mind some concessions as we go along though. A small sanction here and there... but they need to be working with inspectors and be realistic and honest about the destruction. And if/when they do, then start lifting sanctions. I'm hoping that they will work with inspectors, and not play games like other countries have.

    Pompeo Says North Korea Sanctions To Remain Until Complete Denuclearization

    SEOUL/BEIJING (Reuters) – Tough sanctions will remain on North Korea until its complete denuclearization, the U.S. secretary of state said on Thursday, apparently contradicting the North’s view that the process agreed at this week’s summit would be phased and reciprocal.

    U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un issued a joint statement after their Singapore meeting that reaffirmed the North’s commitment to “work toward complete denuclearization of the Korean peninsula”, while Trump “committed to provide security guarantees”.

    Trump later told a news conference he would end joint U.S.-South Korean military exercises.

    “President Trump has been incredibly clear about the sequencing of denuclearization and relief from the sanctions,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told reporters after meeting South Korea’s president and Japan’s foreign minister in Seoul.

    “We are going to get complete denuclearization; only then will there be relief from the sanctions,” he said.

    North Korean state media reported on Wednesday that Kim and Trump had recognized the principle of “step-by-step and simultaneous action” to achieve peace and denuclearization on the Korean peninsula.

    Yeah I heard this and was kinda like hmmmm... IDK... maybe it would be a good idea to slowly lift sanctions commensurate with the denuclearize process.

    I see an issue with it. Denuclearization and verification will take years. Somebody better come up with a bone to toss Un's way. I'm not saying lift all sanctions either. Wouldn't kill anyone to ease up a little on some.
