The newspaper notes that it will take place in Busan on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Summit. economic APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) cooperation. It is also emphasized that the summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, desired by the White House, will not take place due to Pyongyang's refusal.

Although North Korea is not a member of APEC, Trump offered to change the itinerary of his Asian trip to meet Kim in the demilitarized zone. "I know Kim Jong-un very well. But we really couldn't agree on a time."

– the publication quotes the American leader.



The author of the article adds that Pyongyang's response to the invitation was a traditional show of force: the North Korean military test-launched a nuclear-capable cruise missile off the country's coast.

The test was intended to "impress enemies with deterrent capabilities."

– Pyongyang emphasized.

Against this backdrop, the US President still expressed his willingness to resolve the conflict between North and South Korea, which seriously amused analysts.

Pyongyang, it is emphasized, has no need for the White House's leniency at this time and is only prepared to negotiate with Washington from a position of strength. And judging by Kim Jong-un's statements, North Korea has no plans to make peace with its southern neighbor anytime soon.

    Kim is to Xi what D.A. is to V.V. But, well done, an excellent fellow!

    Meetings like these, just for the heck of it, when Trump just happens to be passing through, aren't held. Especially if there's nothing much to discuss.

      Before Putin's meeting with Trump, their representatives (and Putin himself) met several times and discussed... then Anchorage for several hours...
      AND??
      They are like a deaf man and a blind man until now.. laughing

    Well done! They're launching missiles without Trump's approval. Image is everything, after all.

    It would have been possible to offer Trump delivery to the US on this rocket.

    Well done, Kim... I can't trust the Americans. There's nothing to talk about with them.

    Well done, Kim. He knows the West is just a bunch of windbags with whom there's no point in talking or wasting time. Only here, we continue to pout and take offense at the West's attacks and continue to call them partners. And some are just looking for a chance to fall at the Anglo-Saxon's feet and kiss his shoes. Kim is on his own clear and correct course.

    Anchorage accomplished a very important task. It delayed the introduction of tough sanctions by two and a half months. They were recently imposed, and Indian refineries processing Russian oil were shut down.

    North Korea is doing well, no need to kiss America's ass when you now have Russian military technology behind you, let anyone try. And a fig to Trump, no need to meet with him at all.

    Actually the phrase is that

    North Korea is not going to make peace with South Korea.

    Incorrect. Last year, the DPRK already announced that it was abandoning the stupid idea of ​​unification; they've long been two different nations. De facto, this is recognition of South Korea as another state. It's a cold peace. But South Korea isn't going to give up anything, which means it will try to eliminate North Korea if possible. Kim and Trumpetsky have nothing to discuss; North Korea has done everything it can to ease tensions.
