A long-time
advocate of diplomacy, South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in has
recently sought to assure US officials that he will accept whatever
direction President Trump decides to go on North Korea. At the same
time, he offered to meet Kim Jong Un.
Moon made
the comments in a Thursday speech at the G20 summit, and also
proposed that North and South Korea come to some sort of agreement on
reuniting families separated by war, offering to let North Korea
cooperate in the 2018 Winter Olympics.
Other South
Korean officials followed up the statement by insisting that Moon is
still working with Trump and still supports the idea of “raising
pressure” on North Korea, despite an offer of a diplomatic meeting
which is extremely contrary to President Trump’s anti-diplomacy
stand.
Moon said he
believes the lack of contact between North and South is “highly
dangerous” and that if the two sides get to the negotiating table
they could potentially resolve a number of outstanding issues, form
the North Korea’s nuclear program to the formalizing of the end of
the 1950-53 Korean War.
