U.S. promises economic boom in exchange for North Korea’s denuclearization
Top White House officials on Sunday delivered an ambitious promise to North Korea: Give up your nuclear weapons program and the U.S. will open the door to economic prosperity rivaling that of any other nation in the region, laying out in clear terms the benefits the reclusive nation stands to reap as dictator Kim Jong-un prepares for a historic, high-stakes summit with President Trump next month.
The Trump administration made the promise to funnel American money and expertise into North Korea it seeks to cast its nuclear negotiations in a far different light than the deal President Obama cut with Iran.
Specifically, White House officials said, they will insist on much more intrusive inspections inside North Korea and that the president could submit any deal struck with North Korea to the Senate for approval — a major difference from the pact with Tehran.
On the economic front, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo went to great lengths
in a round of TV interviews Sunday to stress that North Korea stands on the precipice of wild economic growth the likes of which it has never seen.
“This will be Americans coming in, private-sector Americans — not the U.S. taxpayer — private-sector Americans coming in to help build out the energy grid … to work with them to develop infrastructure, all the things the North Korean people need,”
Mike Pompeo says U.S. will aid North Korea infrastructure if Kim Jong-un gives up nuclear weapons
