Kim Jong Un had previously given the U.S. a vague deadline to change course on nuclear talks. Earlier this month, state media quoted a top North Korean official saying 'it is entirely up to the U.S. what Christmas gift it will select to get.'
Reuters reported that the U.S. special envoy for North Korea, Stephen Biegun, urged Pyongyang on Monday
to return offers of talks. He also dismissed Kim's year-end deadline and emphasized Washington's willingness to discuss "all issues of interest," according to Reuters. But looking ahead, Seaman does not seem to be optimistic for 2020, "The US will likely ramp up efforts to show it is coordinating closely with allies like Japan and South Korea and also talking with other key players such as China and Russia." Meanwhile, "Kim will likely try to outdo US diplomacy with his own overtures to China, Russia, and other countries," said Seaman.on North Korea exporting statues, seafood and textiles, according to a draft resolution seen by Reuters.
Narang said China and Russia likely want to formally remove the sanctions all together. That would allow Kim to rely on the economic and energy trade with the two nations, which seem willing to diplomatically back North Korea. But Narang said, ultimately "there's a line" for China and Russia, too. He said China's position seems to be "you can go back to testing missiles just don't test a nuclear weapon," explaining that appears to be Beijing's "red line."
