Hanson: Trump Made a Credible Threat to Turn the Hermit Kingdom into Smoking Rubble

‘And I think it’s important to remember the pressure’s on [North Korea], not on us’

RUSH EXCERPT:

HANSON: "That’s why President Trump walk in saying he wants to take the measure of Kim Jong un. He’s going to figure out if this is a guy he can even do a deal with before we dig into any of that. And I think in all of this there’s a reason this summit is happening, and that’s because President Trump made a credible threat to turn the hermit kingdom into smoking rubble if they did not denuclearize. So they can come to the table, they can make a deal that’s advantageous and they get some of those soft options and prizes, but they have to be willing to allow the verification. And I think it’s important to remember the pressure’s on them, not on us."
