“The policy is not regime change but we definitely want to put maximum pressure on the government,” John Bolton says of reinstated Iran sanctions.

US wants Iran to retreat from terrorism, military activity in Mid East, ballistic missile nuclear-related program, he said on Fox.
US isn’t going to relax sanctions on North Korea on their say-so, Trump’s national security adviser said on Fox News.

Bolton used the phrase Trump in June said he didn’t want to use anymore.

“We’ll continue to apply maximum pressure to North Korea,” Bolton said today.
Asked about the “second meeting” with Kim Jong Un that Trump tweeted about last month, John Bolton on Fox News said nothing scheduled.

But Trump in his most recent letter to Kim said Pompeo’s prepared to go back to North Korea to meet, and Trump’s prepared to meet at any point.

THREAD: My thoughts on #NorthKorea’s “offer.”

DPRK has made similar overtures before, but no POTUS took the bait. Kim Jong Un has NO intention of giving up his nukes. What he wants is to be treated as an equal on the world stage.🤨1/

Although #NorthKorea tried for DECADES to meet w/the US, no POTUS (R or D) agreed.🤔

Why not? B/c a bilateral meeting of both leaders signifies that we are EQUALS, thereby *validating* DPRK’s whole strategy of using nukes to get “respect” globally.🤨 2/

When analyzing #NorthKorea, we must also consider China.🤔

Why? Because ~90% of North Korea’s trade (imports AND exports) is w/China. So if the world wants to do ANYTHING about NoKo, CHINA must be on board.

We know this, and so does Kim Jong Un‼️ 3/
