Cho suggested that the reason for North Korea’s return to the negotiation table was totally different. “If we believe that, we will never be able to negotiate with them and make peace with them”. “You build trust, don’t talk business, establish camaraderie and allow the Trump charisma to steep and marinate to soften them up”.
