South Korea Says North Korea Has Withdrawn Its Staff From The Kaesong Liason Office



ABC News Online: North Korea abruptly withdraws staff from Kaesong liaison office with South Korea

North Korea has abruptly withdrawn its staff from a liaison office with South Korea, a development that is likely to put a damper on ties between the countries and further complicate global diplomacy on North Korea's nuclear program.

The North Korean action came a week after Vice Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui threatened to pull out of nuclear negotiations with the United States, citing a lack of US steps to match disarmament measures it took last year.

Her warning followed a US-North Korea summit in February that collapsed due to disputes over United States-led sanctions on the North.

WNU Editor: This is a major setback, and happened because of the yesterday's U.S. Treasury announcement that the U.S. was imposing new sanctions on North Korea. In response, President Trump reversed these new sanctions today .... Trump surprises by revoking North Korea sanctions immediately after Treasury imposes them (FOX News).

Coordination is not one of team trump s assets.

Maybe Trump felt he had to be tough given everything, so he tightened sanctions to try to get compliance. The the Meuller report came out

With the Meuller win, he can afford to be 'magnanimous', since he is in a position of increased strength.

He was weaker when the Democrats had their little Cohen dog and pony show and were flinging excrement like monkeys.

With the Meuller loss and the continued Democrat histrionics Ed Rendell, a Democrat statesman, is despairing of winning in 2020.

The Democrat party is dead anyway. It is being hollowed out and cannibalized by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA_. AOC is not the only one they elected. There are a few fossils hanging around like Nancy Pelosi, but hers is more like a care take government taking care of the organization until she is nudged hard to hand the reigns over to the DSA.

Democratic Socialists of America in Congress so far:

1.) Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Congresswoman from New York's 14th congressional district

2.) Rashida Tlaib, Congresswoman from Michigan's 13th congressional district



The following two will caucus with the Democratic Socialists of America

3.) Ayanna Pressley Congresswoman from Massachusetts's 7th district

4.) Ilhan Abdullahi Omafr Congresswoman from Minnesota's 5th district



Liberal wingnuts will vote for these anti-Semites without hesitation.

RIP Democrat Party of old

When Trump realizes he has been fully conned and is the laughing stock of the world he will look to punish someone. The only questions are, when, which country and are young Americans going to die again for nothing?
