北, 폼페이오와 '만족한 합의' 후 핵실험장 '폐기' 선언... 속도붙는 한반도 비핵화 논의 PART 2<br /><br /> This measure comes after the U.S. Secretary of State made his second visit to Pyongyang last week.<br />Not only did we see the release of Americans that have been detained in North Korea,... but also... the regime's state media reporting that Kim and Pompeo reached a (quote)"satisfactory consensus" at their meeting.<br /><br /> Daniel, there's actually more to that.<br />Take a listen to this remark from Pyongyang's state-run TV.<br /><br /> "After hearing President Trump's message, our leader Kim Jong-un highly evaluated and appreciated President Trump's willingness to solve the issue through dialogue and a new alternative option."<br /><br /> Here we can learn that Washington has offered Pyongyang (quote)"a new alternative option"... and the two sides were both satisfied with it.<br />So what is this "new alternative option"... and does this have anything to do with the announcement over the weekend?<br />Take a listen to these experts for their views on what this "new alternative option" could be:<br /><br /> "The U.S. could have shown flexibility to North Korea... that, if they both set a clear-cut deadline of achieving complete denuclearization,... then the process of denuclearization could be broken into multiple stages just as the North wants.<br /><br /> "If we look at what Pompeo said at press briefings following his visit to North Korea, it seems the 'new' content could be about lifting economic sanctions or normalizing relations at a fast pace. Lifting Washington's unilateral sanctions and international sanctions and removing Pyongyang from the list of sponsors of terror create an environment where investment could be made through international funds."<br />
