. @AbeDenmark: How much money does US Treasury get back for canceling the joint ROK-US exercises? Zero. It will get spent somewhere else. 💸 @asaninst

[Asan Institute DC @AsanInstDC]

Choi Kang of @asaninst: Trump’s view on suspending US-ROK Mil Exercises is about money. Other potential issues on the table for the #alliance is burden sharing agreement and troop withdrawal.

[Asan Institute DC @AsanInstDC]

. @AbeDenmark: Chinese will be more open with their engagement with #NorthKorea to keep them on life support while damaging US interests and preferences for the region @asaninst

[Asan Institute DC @AsanInstDC]

. @AbeDenmark: Chinese leaders/scholars are seeing The Korean Peninsula through the lens of competition with the US. The #singaporesummit was a big win for them.

[Asan Institute DC @AsanInstDC]

. @snydersas on #Sanctions: if KJU’s aspiration is more than about life support, then sanctions will be the critical leverage we are looking for in #dialogue

[Asan Institute DC @AsanInstDC]

Go Myoung-Hyun of @asaninst: China is a potential stabilizing factor for the #NorthKorea as it assists economically. And will give it more means and time to sustain in the #dialogue stage.

[Asan Institute DC @AsanInstDC]

Go Myong-Hyun of @asaninst: What #northKorea really wants is loosening of #sanctions. It’s running out of time and money.

"The reason why 'verifiable' wasn't in the [Singapore] statement is b/c NKorea wouldn't allow it and the U.S. went along w/ it" says @AbeDenmark at @AsanInstDC

[International Student Conferences @isc_dc]

‘Verifiable is not in the #SingaporeSummit joint statement because North Korea did not want it, and US went along with it’ - @AbeDenmark at the @AsanInstDC event

[Asan Institute DC @AsanInstDC]

Go Myong-Hyun of @asaninst on #Singaporesummit agreement: 1. Official- left to interpretation, and 2. informal- NK shutting down missile testing facility and US suspending mil exercises — this becomes a #handshake deal, based on trust.

[Asan Institute DC @AsanInstDC]

. @KelseyDav on 3 challenges: 1. Definition of #denuclearization and danger of ambiguity (CD versus CVID), 2. US has to be prepared to stay course of the negotiations, and 3. Think about reciprocal actions @asaninst

[Asan Institute DC @AsanInstDC]

. @AbeDenmark on next steps: let’s first achieve freeze of #NorthKorea nuclear and missile program so that the US can be on equal footing @asaninst
