Biden Swipes at Trump, Says He Won't Give Kim Jong Un 'International Recognition'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Joe Biden appeared to criticize his immediate predecessor, former President Donald Trump, on Friday while discussing the approach his administration planned to take on North Korea.

Biden gave a joint press conference with South Korean President Moon Jae-in and said he wanted to achieve "total denuclearization" of the Korean Peninsula. North Korea, a dictatorship led by Kim Jong Un, is a nuclear power.

The president said he wouldn't meet with Kim unless the North Korean leader made a commitment to discuss the nuclear weapons issue. Former President Trump met with Kim three times.

"If there was a commitment on which we met, then I would meet with [him]," Biden said.

3. The so called international recognition issue is a useless trope

Favored by people who know zero about Korean affairs.

On the positive side, President Biden indicated he would appoint Sung Kim, as an envoy to deal with the North Korean issue. He should have been the US ambassador to South Korea earlier, instead of idiot Harry Harris, who fortunately stayed in the kitchen for his last year or so as ambassador to limit the harm he did to relations with South Korea.

Hopefully, Sung Kim, will open up some avenues of dialogue with North Korea, rather than attempting to limit South Korea initiatives like his predecessors.

5. Biden says no now, but wait til he gets a love letter from Kim.

I understand he is a silver tongued devil.

6. Right Answer President Biden!

North Korea is a terrible, horrific place but that is the Republican’s goal for what our country should be.
