Steve Hayes: ‘Trump Has Recognized that 25 Years of Diplomacy Around North Korea Has Failed’

‘I don’t think President Trump is likely to take them up on that offer’

EXCERPT:

HAYES: "We’ve seen that President Trump is more willing to use leverage that the United States has on China than his three predecessors. It’s a different policy, it's a different approach. It hasn’t yet yielded results, but it could. I think President Trump has recognized that 25 years of diplomacy around North Korea has failed, where the United States has engaged in effect in preemptive capitulation, offering concessions that at times haven’t even been demanded and outsourcing the policy to China without any strings attached. President Trump is trying to attach strings. It’s long overdue I think in the minds of many Republicans in Congress and some foreign policy hawks to do this, to actually push China to take these actions by demanding something in return."
