Trump Considers ‘Compromise’ with North Korea on Nuclear Weapons and Sanctions Relief
Reports suggest former US President Donald Trump is planning to propose a ‘compromise’ on freezing North Korea’s nuclear program and easing sanctions against the country if he returns to power.
According to Politico, an American political media outlet, three anonymous sources indicated that the plan involves allowing North Korea to keep its existing nuclear weapons while providing financial incentives to prevent the production of new ones.
However, this proposal deviates from the long-standing policy of South Korea and the United States, which has been centered around the complete denuclearization of North Korea. The Trump camp has denied these reports.
Furthermore, Politico interpreted the plan as a shift in focus from nuclear negotiations with North Korea to competition with China.
