Abe-Trump "Bromance", North Korea Flirts with Denuclearization (with Brad Glosserman) | Tokyo on Fire

Tokyo on Fire!

This week on Tokyo on Fire: Last week, Prime Minister Abe travelled to meet with President Trump in Florida. Though he stayed out of the sand traps, he has yet to bring home any bacon, leaving room to question his influence with the American President. Will Prime Minister Abe survive his recent lulls, or will rivals Ishiba and Kishida finally take him down? Join Timothy and Michael’s discussion as they delve into this week’s hot topic. Heavy sanctions have finally forced the DPRK (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) to assume a negotiation posture that may lead to a denuclearized Korean Peninsula. In fact, the nation’s Supreme Leader has already met with China’s Premier, holds a scheduled meeting with the South Korean President, and hopes to arrange the nation’s first face-to-face with a sitting United States President. All signals point to good-faith negotiations…or at least Kim Jon Un would have you believe. Join Timothy, Michael, and our guest, Brad Glosserman, in these discussions!
