Yes respect deserves respect and Trudeau is a backstabber. Also as all Trump haters you just won’t give the guy any credit no matter what he does huh? Kim agreed to denuclearize. I’d say that is requiring something. But the size and cost of their lunch seems to be more important.
Uhhh, you seem to have assumed a lot of what I never said. Size and cost of lunch being more important? ?? Not going to argue over something never said by me or implied.
So yes, North Korea has gotten this far before. This is not new ground that's been gained by Trump (other than saying what a great guy KJU is and how much he loves his people). As far as Kim agreeing to denuclearize being 'something', I'm gonna have to disagree that anything new has happened. Let's look at history and see how many times NK has agreed to that:
Dec 1985: NK signs Treaty on the Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons, contingent on US withdrawing nuclear weapons from SK. WE take several years to do that, NK increases its nuclear position.
Jan 1992: NK signs the Joint Declaration of the Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, saying they will not test, manufacture, produce, receive, possess, store, deploy or use nuclear weapon. Feb 1993, NK violates commitments to inspections.
Oct 1994: NK promises to stop plutonium production in exchange for goods.
In 2002 US discovers that NK has been secretly stashing uranium for nuclear weapons. All international inspectors are kicked out.
2003, NK withdraws from treaty.
Sept 2005: NK agrees in talks to abandon all nuclear weapons & existing programs. Details can't be agreed upon, so nothing happens.
Oct 2007: NK releases statement declaring all nuclear programs shut down and to not transfer materials, tech, etc - but no one agrees on verification process. (And nothing happens. Again.)
Feb 2012: NK agrees to suspend all tests & uranium enrichment. They say inspectors will be allowed in exchange for supplies. Then, 2 weeks later NK announces plans to launch satellite, killing the deal.
I may have gotten a detail or two wrong - but this is substantially what's happened so far. (By 'so far' I mean 'nothing'.) It's not that I won't give him credit. I'm not giving credit for something that hasn't occurred. And I'm not discounting history.
