Donald Trump's warning to Kim Jong-un: make a deal or suffer same fate as Gaddafi
Asked about ‘Libya model’, Trump says: ‘That model … was total decimation. That model would take place if we don’t make a deal’
Donald Trump has threatened Kim Jong-un with the same fate as Muammar Gaddafi if the North Korean leader “doesn’t make a deal” on his nuclear weapons programme.
The US president issued the threat at the White House when he was asked about the recent suggestion by his national security adviser, John Bolton, that the “Libyan model” be a template for dealing with North Korea at a summit between Trump and Kim planned for 12 June in Singapore.
The model Bolton was referring to was Gaddafi’s agreement in December 2003 to surrender his embryonic nuclear weapons programme, which included allowing his uranium centrifuges to be shipped out to the US.

We aren’t asking there be a regime change in N Korea which was exactly what was sought in Libya. Kim will remain in office.
You are correct! They are trying to discredit Bolton in order to get to Trump! I’m fed up with the sick idiots trying to destroy this administration which was duly elected!!!
Rather than criticize Bolton, learn the facts. The DEAL was made with Bush. The murder of Ghadaffi was made under OBAMA!!!
This is a strange offer to make. Ghadafi accepted the deal and was killed anyway.
This only works if Trump can guarantee no Democrat traitor ever becomes president again.
Very good point.
The difference being that the NO?RK?S are dealing with Bolton/Trump not Hillary/Obama....
We couldn’t get 2/3 of the senate to agree the sun rises in the East.
