The nuclear disarmament of North Korea is no longer on the agenda of negotiations with the United States, Reuters and AR agencies and AR, citing a permanent representative of the DPRK at the UN Kim Son. He stated that the “sustainable and substantial dialogue”, which the United States is striving for, is a “attempt to win time” for the sake of an internal political agenda associated with the presidential election in 2020. Pyongyang is not needed for long negotiations, a dream said.
He also responded to the criticism of six European countries in the UN Security Council for Nuclear Starts of the DPRK, saying that they play the role of "domestic dogs" in the United States. Meanwhile, the representative of the Washington organization 38 North, specializing in North Korea, noted that Kim Song is not a direct participant in denuclearization negotiations.
At the end of the year, the deadline for the transaction with the United States established by North Korea expires. Pyongyang insists on lifting American sanctions and stopping joint military exercises of the United States and South Korea. In 38 North believes that with the approach of the deadline, tough statements from the DPRK are faring - it is possible to force the United States to hurry with the proposal. “Although the more they crush, the less they have the chance to get what they want,” the analyst said.
US President Donald Trump believes that Pyongyang will not take any hostile actions against Washington. Commenting on the statement of the Permanent Representative of North Korea at the UN, Trump said he would look at the actions of the DPRK. He stated that he was associated with “good relations” with the country's leader Kim Jong -un.
“I think we both want to continue. He knows that the elections are coming to me. I don’t think that he wants to intervene in this,” Trump said. At the same time, he admitted that in relations between the two countries there is a "certain hostility," there is no doubt about it. "
Meanwhile, specific actions followed the statement of the DPRK Permanent Representative to the UN: the Central Telegraph Agency of North Korea reported on December 7 of some “important tests” at the SOCE cosmodrome. "The Academy of National Defense of the DPRK reported the Central Committee of the Korea Labor Party on a successful result, which will soon have a significant impact on the change in the strategic situation of the DPRK," the BBC Russian service quotes.
Analysts believe that North Korea wants to launch a space satellite if he does not achieve concessions from the United States, because this would allow her to demonstrate her capabilities in a less provocative way than launching a large -range ballistic missile.
According to experts, an engine test could take a test of a satellite or engine of the intercontinental ballistic missile at the SOCE cosmodrome. Previously, this site has already been used to test rocket engines. Professor of the Institute of Problems of the Far East at the University of Kyonnas (South Korea) Kim Don YOP believes that we are talking about testing a solid fuel engine for intercontinental ballistic missiles.
"If North Korea tests the missile engines in Tonchhanni [the district on the west coast of the DPRK, where the SOCE cosmodrome is located], then perhaps the next step will be the test of a solid -fuel engine for MBR. This can be the very excellent gift for Christmas for the United States [which Pyongyang previously warned]," said RIA Novosti .
Last week, the North Korean Foreign Ministry accused the US of delaying denuclearization negotiations and stated that it depends on the actions of the United States, what kind of Christmas gift they would receive.
After testing at the Cosmodrome, SOKHE Trump discussed the situation on the Korean Peninsula with the President of South Korea Moon Jaeh. According to the results of a half -hour conversation, the administration of the South Korean president reported that the leaders of the two countries consider the situation serious and count on the continuation of denuclearization negotiations in the near future.
For Trump, an agreement on nuclear disarmament of the DPRK has become a key point of the foreign policy agenda in 2018. He met three times at the highest level with Kim Jong -un, the last meeting took place on June 30 in the demilitarized zone in Phanmunjom. Despite the sanctions of the United States and the UN imposed by nuclear and missile programs, North Korea resumed a low-range ballistic missiles in the beginning of this year. Since May, Pyongyang spent 13 tests.
