US may not follow treaty it signed with N Korea: Analyst
The United States may not follow the agreement it signed with North Korea like what it did with many other countries, including Iran, a political analyst says.
Michael Jones made the remarks on Tuesday the same day when a historic summit was held in Singapore between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
Trump and Kim signed a document described by the American leader as important and comprehensive. The document says the US and North Korea “commit to establish [sic] new... relations in accordance with the desire of the peoples of the two countries for peace and prosperity."
Jones, however, said that the question is “whether any agreement with the United States is worth the paper that it’s written on.”
“We have recent examples of treaties that the United States has made and they simply don’t follow the treaties that they made, the best example is the treaty with Iran, it was signed after years of negotiations and then a new president comes in and simply rips up the treaty,” he told Press TV.
“So the question is, is that going to happen with Korea?” he asked.
The US and North Korea have remained enemies since the 1950-1953 Korean War.
While the summit is seen as a test for diplomacy that could end the long-running nuclear standoff, foreign policy experts say the stakes are high if diplomacy fails to produce tangible results.
