G20 -1 The Trump Comeback
I’m not sure why President Trump went to the G20 Summit in the first place. The premise of the summit revolves around free trade and climate change. His people were out in the streets protesting.
On this occasion, it was our President who was shunned and isolated for the majority of the conference. He had an opportunity to get a G20 communique condemning North Korea’s ICBM launch. He failed and based on most of the reporting didn’t even try.
I understand that that there was an offer of a double freeze (ICBM & Nuclear) in exchange for no military exercises this year in South Korea.
This is the best deal the Chinese can bring to the table and they did. This President couldn’t read the tea leaves and was obsessed with meeting Putin.
He could have set the stage for the entire world against North Korea, but he fumbled the ball because he wanted the conference to be about Trump. There was a good opportunity to engage Russia on North Korea but our President missed it.
The appropriate negotiation would have gone like this…
China got N Korea to agree to a double freeze ICBM & Nuclear
The US agrees not to conduct military exercises in Korea
The other part is who will provide the nuclear shield for N Korea?
It’s Russia not China … this puts the negotiation on Russia and China
