[quote=Anonymous]Kim Jong Un has been quiet lately. He provides weapons and troops to Russia. Had to search if Trump is still cozying up to him. No doubt, he can’t get enough.

At the Republican Presidential Convention in 2024, Donald Trump spoke of Kim saying: “He'd like to see me back, too. I think he misses me…” Trump's team is reportedly discussing direct talks with Kim to reduce North Korean threats.

But Kim Jong-un is taking another approach. We have to remember that Kim was embarrassed when Trump walked out of the Hanoi summit meeting in 2019—Kim had been expecting a major victory over Trump, which he needed for internal purposes. He recently said that “We have already gone as far as we can on negotiating with the United States.” Kim“vowed to implement the 'toughest' anti-U.S. policy.”

Of course, this appears to be a negotiating ploy to avoid another embarrassment and therefore to secure major concessions from Trump before any new negotiations. Moreover, Kim has been very clear that the North will not denuclearize—Kim must be delighted that Trump has recognized North Korea as a nuclear power before any further diplomacy. This is a major victory for Kim and demonstrates especially to his elites that Kim is very powerful and that the North's nuclear weapons program has been the proper approach. https://www.rand.org/pubs/commentary/2025/01/breathing-life-into-the-north-korean-regime.html
