S. President donald trump and the north Korean Leader kim jong un ended without a green. Back in february. It could be. The United States raised expectations by offering suggestions like a flexible approach new methods and Creative Solutions for those disappointed as greatly in. Some pretty close relation by bringing new things to the negotiation table clownfish are joins us live now from washington d. C. Alan i guess its still quite early for when the news actually broke but what reaction have we had out of the u. S. So far. Well clearly someones misjudging the atmosphere in the room the North Koreans have walked out saying were done there can be no denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula while the u. S. Continues with this sanctions policy although the north saying that directly theyre certainly suggesting that meanwhile the americans have come out and said this we have invited this to more talks here in 2 weeks and we are going to be there it could well be there sitting across an empty table the state department has issued a statement in the last couple of hours it says that the United States and the d. P. R. K. North korea will not overcome a legacy of 70 years of war who still ety on the Korean Peninsula through the course of a single saturday these are weighty issues in the choir strong commitment by both countries the United States has that commitment clearly theyre expecting talks to resume next tuesday to extend. But north korea doesnt seem to be at the same point in the process they believe that the economic sanctions that are in place are stopping north korea from reaching its full potential mall there in place they feel that they are under pressure therefore they will not be having further discussions and we know that when north korea launched the missile from which was meant to be designed for use from a submarine when they did that the day after announcing talks that was all aimed at putting more pressure on the americans to come to the negotiating to hear with something concrete the North Koreans clearly have decided that there is nothing new you remember the talks collapse back in vietnam in february it seems that no progress has been made in the intervening 8 months and so these talks for the time being it certainly appears in stalemate. And yet from when donald trump came into office and you know started a guess reaching out to kim jong un it really seemed that at least where theres a lot of fanfare around the talks that he was holding some of the direct ones and just more generally expectations really have been built up havent they. They hadnt and you remember that after the talks collapsed in vietnam in february dont turn walked away saying i couldnt possibly sign this deal there was renewed talk because in june after the g. 7 donald trump stopped off in korea and he walked across the Demilitarized Zone which marks the border between north korea and south korea it was a historic moment when he became the 1st sitting u. S. President to appear in north korea and it seemed there that the 2 leaders had decided that there would be the potential for talks at some point later in the year and those suggestions were heightened by the fact that john bolton got fired you remember he was Donald TrumpsNational Security advisor hes very skeptical of the idea that the North Koreans are ready to start to denuclearize he said that several times many people in fact blamed him for the collapse of the talks back in february and so know that he is the picture it was thought the donald trump might tell his team look were very keen to come so it comes to some sort of deal but its clear when the 2 sides sat down in stockholm over the half hours they couldnt come to some agreement they couldnt even come to some agreement on one of the 4 pillars that were agreed in the summit in singapore and so both sides left with both saying different songs about how it all ended well know who is position is perhaps clearer if in 2 weeks time the americans are sitting at a table in the Conference Center and stockholm and there is no sign of the North Koreans we know thats not going to happen if theres a sign that the North Koreans are coming and the americans arent going to go but will be interesting to see what happens over the next 2 weeks and how donald trump reacts to this because he was very keen on some sort of deal alan fischer with the latest there from washington alan finkel.
