Former Obama Staffers Say Trump Is Lying About Efforts to Meet With North Korea’s Kim
Even Politifact said it was false.....................
No evidence Obama begged to meet with Kim Jong Un
Obama’s special representative for North Korea policy, Glyn Davies, laid out the administration’s position for senators at a 2013 hearing.
"The United States will not engage in talks for the sake of talks," Davies said March 7, 2013. "The United States will not accept North Korea as a nuclear-armed state. We will not reward the DPRK for the absence of bad behavior. We will not compensate the DPRK merely for returning to dialogue. We have also made clear that U.S.-DPRK relations cannot fundamentally improve without sustained improvement in inter-Korean relations and human rights. Nor will we tolerate North Korea provoking its neighbors. These positions will not change."
This policy came on the heels of discussions with North Korean negotiators in 2011 aimed at restarting more robust talks that had been on hold since 2008. Initially, Pyongyang indicated it was open to the return of international inspectors, and a moratorium on nuclear tests, long-range missile launches, and all nuclear activity, including uranium enrichment.
In 2012, the process broke down when North Korea announced plans to launch a satellite, a move the Americans called a deal-breaker.
Talks had been placed on hold back in 2008, and Obama was interested in meeting with Un, but not for a meetings sake, there had to be real offers on the table before Obama would meet. And, when N. Korea said they were going to launch a satellite back in 2012, that is when they decided not to talk with Un.
Really? POLITIFACT? LOLOL
Do you even know who OWNS politifact?
Yes, Politifact Has a Liberal Bias – Dan Bongino
Doesn't change the reasons why Obama refused to meet with Un. His N. Korean policy rep testified to Congress about why they weren't meeting with Un. Sorry, but that part is fact, even if you don't want to believe it. If you lie to Congress, you go to jail (as some of Trumps people have found out).
