North Korea will receive US economic assistance if it gives up nuclear weapons, Pompeo says

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Friday extended America’s potential economic assistance to North Korea, under the assumption that they get rid of their nuclear weapons.
“If Chairman Kim chooses the right path, there is a future brimming with peace and prosperity” for North Korea and its people, Pompeo said. "If North Korea takes bold action to quickly denuclearize, the United States is prepared to work with North Korea to achieve prosperity on the par with our South Korean friends."
His remarks came during a joint news conference held with South Korean Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha. It was Pompeo’s first since becoming the head of the State Department.
Pompeo returned from the North Korean capital of Pyongyang on Thursday after securing the successful release of three Americans who had been detained in the country. During the trip, Pompeo met with dictator Kim Jong Un, whom he told the press on Friday that he had a “good” and “substantive” conversation with.
In terms of denuclearization, Pompeo said “it’s pretty clear what that means,” saying “it would be an activity that” made sure “we didn’t end up in the same place that we’d ended up before.”
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says he had good conversations with Kim Jong Un and that U.S., North Korea have understanding of shared goals of summit.
To accomplish that goal, he said it would involve a “robust verification program” that the U.S. will undertake with partners around the world.
After their conversation, Pompeo said that he thinks he and Kim “have a pretty good understanding between our two countries about what the shared objectives are.”
President Trump announced Pompeo's trip to the hermit kingdom on Tuesday, saying he was going there to prepare for the upcoming meeting between the president and Kim. That meeting has since been set for June 12 in Singapore.
In regards to sanctions on North Korea, Kang said that they would “remain in place until, and unless, we see visible, meaningful action taken by North Korea on the denuclearization track.”
She also underlined that U.S. forces in the Republic of Korea have “played a crucial role for deterrence and peace and stability” and said the presence of troops in the area is a matter for the alliance between the U.S. and South Korea “first and foremost.”
"The next few weeks will be critical, requiring air-tight coordination between our two countries," Kang said.

I would be very surprised if Trump can reach a full peace and quick, verified denuclearization with North Korea without some type of economic assistance at some point along the way. I would expect most of the US contribution would be lifting sanctions at some point and entering into a good fair reciprocal trade agreement. I would expect a cabal of US companies to get involved, vested countries in the region like Japan, South Korea, Russia and China, as well as international monetary and aid programs.
The importance of what is happening in North Korea is extraordinary, not only for our own security and finally bringing an end to this nuclear threat, but also because if we do this right, it lays the blueprint on Iran, Syria, Palestine and many other "hot spot" countries around the globe. Trump has said repeatedly that the aid and rebuilding costs need to be borne by countries with vested national interests in the country including regional interest countries.
I'm not sure what they have in mind for North Korea, but I would imagine it's going to follow this strategy. That's not to say we won't or even shouldn't put some "direct payola" or "bribery payments" into the deal at some point. We currently contribute to an international fund that provides humanitarian aid to North Korea, it's not a direct payment, but it's some of our money nonetheless.
Also, the US State Department "hens" need to shut up henceforth about "human rights" in North Korea. Human rights are not the issue for the United States in North Korea and won't be our issue for a long time. Our issues are peace, denuclearization and trade. South Korea is the country to deal with human rights issues in North Korea, not the United States. It's possible that way down the road when we negotiate a trade agreement the issue of human rights on some level could be raised by the US, but even then, it needs to be a minor play, because we do not want uprisings or civil war in North Korea. Hopefully we've learned our lesson on this.
