He may have been excited about denuclearisation, but I think the problem, which has come to light several times since the summit in Singapre, is that what NK meant by 'denuclearisation' is something different from what the US is demanding of them.


"North Korea for decades has been pushing a concept of denuclearization that bears no resemblance to the American definition, with Pyongyang vowing to pursue nuclear development until the United States removes its troops and the nuclear umbrella defending South Korea and Japan. In Thursday’s statement, the North made clear it’s sticking to its traditional stance on denuclearization. It accused Washington of twisting what had been agreed on in Singapore and driving post-summit talks into an impasse."
