resident Trump's hawkish national security chief is insisting North Korea needs to show a real indication that it's ready to abandon its nuclear arsenals before the two sides can sit down for a third summit
Kim Hyo-sun reports.
White House National Security Advisor John Bolton has called for more evidence from North Korea that suggests the regime is ready to abandon its nuclear weapons before the leaders of Pyeongyang and Washington sit down for a third summit.
In an interview with Bloomberg on Wednesday, he also said the U.S. hopes to see (quote) "a real indication" from the North that it has made a strategic decision to give up its nuclear weapons.
He also explained that President Trump is fully prepared to hold a third summit if he can get a real deal.
Bolton's remarks seem to be in line with Washington's stance that it will not rush while opening up the possibility for a third summit.
It's also seen as a reaffirmation of the need for practical denuclearization measures by the North before resuming the nuclear negotiations that aim to reach (quote) "a big deal."
Regarding a possible third summit, President Trump said earlier in the week that North Korea-U.S. dialogue does not have to move quickly,... but added that a third meeting with Kim Jong-un would be good.
