North Korea tries to 'take the pulse' of President Trump

(Baonghean.vn) - North Korean officials are trying to find analysts with connections to the Republican Party in the US, to "read the pulse" of US President Donald Trump's plans and policies before the leaders of the two countries increase military measures.

The Washington Post, according to a close source, said that this approach took place in the context of a tense "war of words" between the two leaders with warnings of mutual destruction, creating public suspicion about a serious armed conflict.

"The number one threat to North Korea is Mr. Trump. Meanwhile, at present, they still cannot decode him" - Washington Post reported.

To understand the US, the North Korean representative office at the United Nations invited Bruce Klingner, former deputy director of the CIA and currently a leading analyst at the Heritage Foundation’s Asian Research and Preservation Center, to Pyongyang. This is an advisory organization that has a close relationship with President Donald Trump and has a significant influence on his policy decisions.

But Bruce Klingner, an expert on North Korea, rejected the offer. He said that North Korea is conducting a campaign to attract US experts and former officials. "That approach is useful, but if North Korea wants to convey a clear message, they need to approach the US government directly," Klingner said.

Not stopping there, North Korea is also trying to contact Mr. Douglas Paal, a former Asia expert at the US National Security Council. Through this "channel", Pyongyang hopes to connect North Korean officials with former officials and experts with ties to the US Republican Party in neutral countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, and Switzerland./.
