Samsung, Hyundai and Daewoo should be funding this proposal. They all have multi-billion dollar assets in and around Seoul.
This is the carrot. His country is bankrupt.
North Korea can’t celebrate , the Young Un has Banned Drinking and Dancing
Fine by me...
Trust but verify and bring those poor people into the same century their relatives enjoy in the South...
It is ok if the help is advisory but sorry if it is monetary that funding has to come from wealthy first world nations Japan and South Korea. We have done all the heavy lifting defending them extending our nuclear umbrella and intelligence gathering and negotiating. They can pull their weight by funding a potential peace plan.
I agree as long as they start dismantling before we provide any assistance.
A true win for the peoples of Korea will be when they are free to once again walk back and forth between the North and the South.
We did the same thing with the Ukraine after the old Soviet Union collapsed. We basically bought their weapons and paid to have the silos and other infrastructure destroyed. it is the only way to make sure we knew exactly where they ended up
I understand Nork has many rare earth mineral resources, a market currently dominated by Chinese sources. If we can help them develop such and gain access to them it would be to our benefit. And it may well be easier to develop them there at this time than to develop our own potential resources over the greenie resistance. Certainly let the Sorks pay for a lot, but if we can make money and start to reverse 60 years of Nork propaganda about us along the way we should.
Denuclearization would be no success. They were denuclearized before.
Hopefully, the media is pushing this “denuclearization is wonderful” narrative and not the administration.
NK has to change a lot.
Just re-unify North and South. Plenty of cheap labor for the big SK companies
How about South Korea helps.
Maybe they can open a few factories in the North
We have an astute businessman and adult in charge now. Whatever we “give” them we’ll get a pile more in return.
They better not send them a dime of my taxes.
This worries me. WE helped North Korea before in exchange for promises of ending the nuke program.
COMMUNISTS DO NOT KEEP PROMISES. EVER.
The only way to stop a Communist from violating an agreement is to violate it first.
This would be good - especially when a businessman implements such a policy. The “help” would be in the form of encouraging our companies to open up factories there, which would naturally increase their profits.
Oh, and when the NK economy starts to grow...then Pompeo will go to Cuba and Venezuela and say, “Hey, guys, tired of that Communism $hit yet? You want to start prospering like NK? Fine, we can offer you a deal....”
Trump can finish doing what Reagan and Casey started: Putting Communism on the trash heap of History. Of course, the hardest nut to crack in that area will be American universities...but that’s a whole other thread.
Well, we usually have to occupy a country for thirty years to give aid...maybe we should try something different.
Funny, but isn’t that what Obama did for Iran?
I thought Madeline Albright took care of that yrs. ago. /s
The Mouse That Roared - The Sequel
This is nuts!
We gave a bunch of the Shah’s money back to the Iranian terrorist Mullahs, and they instantly destabilized the entire Middle East.
Now, Trump wants to give money to the Kim family, like the previous three presidents did?
The Kim family has been enslaving, starving, murdering, and terrorizing the North Korean population for seven decades.
We should be calling for the arrest of Boy Kim, and confiscate all his assets.
