U.S. Reportedly Offering to Drop “Low Level” Sanctions on North Korea

It looks like the restarting of Mt. Kumgang Tours and the relaxing of coal sanctions could be concessions made by the U.S. towards North Korea in upcoming talks:

Jo Chol-su, chief of the North Korean Foreign Ministry’s North American Affairs Division who is also among a four-member North Korean denuclearization talks delegation led by chief negotiator Kim Myong-gil, was spotted at Beijing Capital International Airport, Thursday. Yonhap

The United States has “unofficially” promised North Korea to offer “low-level” sanctions relief including a partial resumption of tourism at Mount Geumgang in North Korea, two sources familiar with the issue said Thursday.

“Washington’s nuclear negotiating team plans to offer low-level sanctions relief at working-level talks which will take place Oct. 5,” one said asking not to be identified as he wasn’t authorized to officially speak to the media.

The diplomatic source said U.S. negotiators would use this as a “starting point,” adding that the fine details would be worked out as the talks progressed. “No major announcements will come at the working-level talks as the United States is hoping to narrow additional conditions and demands through follow-up discussions. The upcoming U.S.-North Korea talks will directly touch on sanctions relief that Pyongyang will receive,” he told The Korea Times.

After all the bovine squatage reported by major media out lets quoting anonymous sources, I wouldn’t trust this any further than an email from a Nigerian prince or an Iranian wearing a Yugoslav tie. šŸ˜† šŸ˜† šŸ˜†
