Kim Jong-un aberto a sentar-se com Trump, para conversações nucleares

 

    Donal Trump an Kim Jong-Un


O líder da Coreia do Norte está disposto a avançar nas conversas com os Estados Unidos, mas há uma condição que parece, logo à partida, fazer cair quaisquer negociações.

É que Kim Jong-un quer que Washington DC pare de insistir na desnuclearização do pequeno país da península, sendo que essa é a maior exigência da Casa Branca.

“Se os Estados Unidos deixarem cair a obsessão absurda de nos desnuclearizarem e aceitarem a realidade, e quiserem uma coexistência pacífica, não há razão para não nos sentarmos com os Estados Unidos”, continuou Kim Jong-un, sabendo que está a pedir ao rival que abdique da sua maior pretensão.

De acordo com a especialista norte-americana Rachel Minyoung Lee, que falou à agência Reuters, esta foi a primeira vez que Kim Jong-un utilizou o nome de Donald Trump desde a tomada de posse.

No entanto, e apesar de alguma aproximação nas palavras, Kim Jong-un mantém a sua posição, já que entende que construir e manter um arsenal nuclear é a única forma de a Coreia do Norte salvaguardar a sua segurança contra as ameaças de Estados Unidos e Coreia do Sul.

  Ukraine aims to drain Russia’s war chest with drone strikes on Pokrovsk and Ust-Luga oil facilities on the Baltic Sea. Konstantin can smell the consequences of the war in Ukraine from his apartment in St Petersburg, Russia’s second-largest city and President Vladimir Putin’s hometown. Over the past two weeks, the asthmatic 53-year-old, whose full name has been withheld for fear of repercussions, has been sporadically aware of the odour of burning crude, fuel and other chemicals ignited by Ukrainian drone attacks on Russia’s two largest oil terminals on the Baltic, which handle two-fifths of Moscow’s seaborne oil exports and almost 2 percent of global oil supply, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). The attacks are part of  Kyiv’s wider effort  to hit more than a dozen oil refineries deep in Russia and, ultimately, to reduce Moscow’s  unexpected windfall income  from oil exports after Washington and Tel Aviv began bombarding Iran at the end of Fe...

  Trump says he persuaded Israel and Hezbollah to halt attacks, seeking to prevent a wider war in Lebanon. United States President Donald Trump said on Monday that Hezbollah and Israel have  agreed to halt hostilities  in a major de-escalation effort after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered attacks on the southern suburbs of Beirut on Monday. Netanyahu’s office on Monday said attacks on Beirut would proceed if Hezbollah continued attacks on Israeli cities, while military operations in southern Lebanon would continue as “planned”. The situation was further complicated by warnings from Iran.
