Pres. Trump Pursuing Right Path with North Korea, Expert Says
A scholar who specializes in watching developments in North Korea says President Trump's strategy for dealing with Kim Jong-Un is the right one when compared to recent previous administrations, News Radio 1200 WOAI reports.
Prof. Bruce Bechtol Jr., an Angelo State University political science professor, tells News Radio 1200 WOAI that Trump's recent predecessors were all quick to abandon negotiations with Pyongyang when no easy solution was forthcoming, and critics of the President's choice for a second round of face-to-face talks with Kim at month's end do not see the big picture.
"Why is that, because the other ways worked so well? Clinton, Bush, you know, Obama? These guys all failed in their North Korea policy. So it's not a Republican or a Democratic thing - it's a failure thing," Bechtol says.
Trump's second meeting with Kim to discuss denuclearization of the Korean peninsula is scheduled for Feb 27-28 in Hanoi, Vietnam.
