[Global Times' special correspondent in South Korea, Li Jun Global Times reporter Zheng Wei] "South Korea will not lift sanctions against the DPRK without US approval!" For South Korean Foreign Minister Kang Jing and "Seoul is considering canceling the 5.24 measures", the United States President Trump responded so arrogantly. Some analysts believe that Trump’s statement highlights the differences between South Korea and the United States on the DPRK nuclear issue, but the two countries will cover up differences and continue to cooperate.
According to South Korea’s “Central Daily News” reported on the 11th, Kang Jing and the previous day said that the Korean Foreign Ministry is discussing with the relevant departments whether it is necessary to cancel the “5·24 measures”. This measure is a unilateral sanctions policy against the DPRK launched by the South Korean government after the "Cheonan Ship Incident" in 2010. As a result of this statement, Kang Jinghe was not only criticized in South Korea, but also Trump attacked. After being criticized, Kang Jing and the change said that the government level has not yet started relevant discussions. "Washington Post" reported on the 11th that South Korea’s unification minister, Zhao Mingjun, also said that the South Korean government has not seriously considered lifting the sanctions against the DPRK. Unless North Korea acknowledges its responsibility in the "Cheonan ship incident", it is difficult to cancel the sanctions. .
In addition, "Nikkei Business News" said on the 10th that US Secretary of State Pompeo is concentrating on the promotion of South Korea and South Korea into a reconciliation model, and believes that the Korean and Korean countries reached a military field agreement in the "French Gold Council" in mid-September. has a problem. He set the line of the Korean-North Korean military demarcation line as a prohibited area for flight. He even asked directly what "what are you thinking about?" Yonhap said on the 11th that Kang Jinghe said that Pompeo did ask many questions about the relevant agreement, but the time was on September 17 and 18. The report believes that this is Pompeo's dissatisfaction with South Korea.
A number of British and American media believe that the US high-level statement shows that the US and South Korea are inconsistent in dealing with the DPRK nuclear issue. The British "Financial Times" analysis on the 11th said that Washington is worried that Pyongyang has not taken actual nuclear weapons measures, so it is trying to ensure that countries put pressure on North Korea. Wen Wei is more hopeful to maintain economic ties with North Korea to break the deadlock on the Korean peninsula. At the Korea-DPRK summit held in mid-September, Wen Zai and Kim Jong-un agreed that after the lifting of international sanctions, the two countries will jointly operate the Kaesong Industrial Park. They also plan to restore rail and road traffic on the border between the two countries, allowing Koreans to travel to Mount Kumgang. "There is a clear disagreement between South Korea and the United States. Trump's use of 'approval' instead of 'agree' is a serious warning to South Korea that it should not be too fast in economic cooperation with South Korea and North Korea." Fan Tiao said. The Washington Post said that although South Korea and North Korea’s relations have eased, it is not easy for South Korea to lift sanctions against the DPRK. The British "Guardian" said that South Korea wants to lift the sanctions is only a symbolic statement, because the United Nations sanctions against North Korea and "5. 24 measures" are much the same.
Yonhap said that South Korean government officials believe that Kang Jinghe’s speech will not trigger a contradiction between South Korea and the United States. The Guardian quoted the US North Korean policy expert Oba as saying that no matter how much the differences between South Korea and the United States are, they will conceal their differences and continue to cooperate. The Russian satellite news agency said that Russia and North Korea hope that the international sanctions against Pyongyang can be weakened and eventually cancelled.
