Gingrich: Kim Jong Un Is Coming to the Summit ‘Out of Fear’

‘ — and the result is that the North Korean economy is in real trouble’

RUSH EXCERPT:

GINGRICH: " -- and the result is that the North Korean economy is in real trouble. To such a degree that I think that Kim Jong-un reached a conclusion that he was in danger of having the whole regime implode economically. On the other hand, his father and his grandfather and he have spent three generations, enormous, huge slave labor camps , tremendous amounts of pain building nuclear weapons and missiles so the question becomes for him, can I cut a deal which enables me to survivor if I sell out everything we’ve been trying to do, do I get deposed by all these people who spent their lifetime doing it and if I don’t do it, do I
end up with my economy collapsing totally."
BARTIROMO: "So he’s afraid?"
GINGRICH: "I think he’s coming in out of fear. The south Koreans played a huge role in this because they really were frightened that trump was prepared to go to war and war would be a disaster for south Korea, because so much of north Korea’s artillery is within reach of Seoul, the artillery of missiles so the question becomes for trump, can he find and he’s got very smart people around him and Secretary of State Pompeo, secretary of defense Mattis, chief of staff Kelly, national security advisor Bolton, these are all smart guys."
