US Drops Cha as Pick for Ambassador to S
U.S. president Donald Trump just reminded the world that it’s a state of affairs he really, really doesn’t like.
‘Today he lives in Seoul, where he rescues other defectors, and broadcasts into North Korea what the regime fears the most – the truth.
In a Washington Post op-ed, Cha wrote, that if it is not stopped, North Korea will “build an arsenal with multiple nuclear missiles meant to threaten the U.S. homeland and blackmail us into abandoning our allies in Asia”.
“When I was under consideration for a position in this administration, I shared some of these views”.
It’s no declaration of war, but it doesn’t look like an olive branch either.
Hours later, Cha wrote in a commentary in the Post that he had voiced opposition to those within the administration who he said were suggesting military action against North Korea.
The United State is one of few countries that have failed to offer paid maternity leave, and many sick citizens can not afford to pay their medical fees, it added.
Trump also saluted a North Korean defector whose legs had to be amputated in his torturous escape to the south.
So, if you’re skeptical of this move from North Korea and Kim Jung Un, just take a step back, have a drink, and enjoy the Olympics.
To highlight the brutality and depravity of North Korea, Trump put victims of the Kim regime in the spotlight.
In an interview with Interfax earlier this month, Russian Ambassador to North Korea Alexander Matsegora said his government will repatriate the tens of thousands of North Koreans working in the country, in line with United Nations sanctions.
“A sustained and long-term competitive strategy such as this plays to USA strengths, exploits our adversary’s weaknesses and does not risk hundreds of thousands of American lives”, he concluded. “Tonight, we pledge to honor Otto’s memory with total American resolve”.
President Trump hailed Otto Warmbier’s family of Wyoming, Ohio, as “powerful witnesses” to North Korea’s horrors as they watched from a guest box in the U.S. House of Representatives Tuesday night.
Cha’s dismissal owes to his disagreement Trump’s plan to attack North Korea with a “bloody nose” strike, or a limited military strike in response to some North Korean provocation, according to multiple outlets.
Stressing on the need for the United States to modernise and rebuild its nuclear arsenal, he said the North Korean nuclear programme can threaten the country.
Trump invited the parents of Otto Warmbier, the American student thrown into a North Korean jail and returned to the U.S.in a vegetative state. He also pledged to put pressure on other countries such as Russian Federation and China to aid in the effort.
