US president Donald Trump has pledged “very strong collateral” to Kim Jong-un if he is to take up a nuclear disarmament agreement with United States. Trump said in Washington about North Korea’s rulers: “He would be re. He would be in power in his country. His country would become very rich. “

Trump also distanced himself from his security adviser, John Bolton, who had brought so-called Libya model into play in dealing with North Korea. This provides that, following example of Libya, North Korea will quickly hand over nuclear weapons to United States or or countries.
Trump said at beginning of a meeting with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg: “The Libya model was a very different deal.” The US would have “crushed Libya”. This is not plan for North Korea, says Trump. Instead, he hopes for a prosperous North Korea. The Libya model is, however, conceivable, “if we do not reach a deal,” said US president.
Libya had declared 15 years ago to want to destroy its weapons of mass destruction in return for lifting of sanctions. Long-time leader Muammar al-Gaddafi was later killed in wake of nationwide riots, on 20 October 2011. The rebels were supported by United States and European atomic powers, France and Great Britain. The North Korean leadership refore considers its nuclear program also as a hedge of power.
Trump anticipates meeting in June
The Pyongyang regime had recently threatened to cancel a planned meeting of Trump and Kim on 12 June. There is no interest in a meeting with Trump if it is only about “unilateral” US demands for a North Korean departure from nuclear weapons. A meeting planned for Wednesday senior north and South Korean government officials had already cancelled Kim leadership according to South Korean news agency Yonhap. The reason was annual military manoeuvres of USA and South Korea, which began on Monday and should last until 25 May.

Trump, in his own words, continues to assume that meeting will be held in June. We should be in contact with North Korea as if nothing had happened, he said. The planned meeting will be a solution to long-standing conflict over North Korean nuclear waffenpro program.
