WASHINGTON — U.S. Senate Democrats are demanding that any agreement President Donald Trump makes to ease sanctions on North Korea be contingent on complete denuclearization and destruction of test sites.
In a letter to Trump, seven senior Senate Democrats outlined the conditions of their caucus’s support for any deal that results from Trump’s planned summit next month with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Senate Foreign Relations Committee Ranking Member Bob Menendez, D-N.J., also held a press call Monday.
“Now that the meeting will proceed as planned, [we] want to make sure the president’s desire for a deal with North Korea doesn’t leave the United States, Japan and South Korea with a bad deal,” Schumer told reporters.
While Schumer expressed hope for peace and a successful summit, he warned Trump “has to be willing to walk away from the table if there isn’t a good deal to be had.”
Top bad this ignorant prick failed to do this on the Iran deal.
