Trump picks task team for upcoming negotiations.

BOLTON AND POMPEO READY FOR JOUSTING WITH NORTH KOREA AND IRAN

TEAM PICKED FOR SPECIFIC TASK

It is clear that the President has picked a team for the specific task of dealing with North Korea and Iran. Both John Bolton as national security adviser and Mike Pompeo, as Secretary of State, are known as hardliners opposed to the Iran Nuclear deal. They also have advocated preemptive strikes on North Korea. Both are experienced in the subject at hand and both are on the same page as the President. 

The most important thing is that they appear to support the Presidents approach to dealing with these countries. A positive result with North Korea will make a positive result with Iran more likely. 

Congress, as usual, would like to undercut the president by advocating he pick one of their flunky's who's sole purpose would be to undermine and sabotage the Presidents efforts. The last thing the Democrats and never-Trumpers would want is any success by the president, even if it would benefit the Korea's, the whole East Asia, and the world.

The President knows that any possibility of a deal with North Korea will entail both sticks and carrots. The opportunities for North Korea are huge, the president can offer a peace treaty ending the Korea conflict, a non-aggression treaty and world trade, that would increase the prosperity of the whole region. Kim could be looked upon as the Gorbochov of  North Korea. It will be interesting to see if this new generation of North Korea's leaders will be able to give up its brutal ways and become a member of the world community. It will probably be the only opportunity that it will get.

Of course, Trump is going to demand an the elimination of North Korea's nuclear program. This will not be an easy task. 

This negotiation, if successful with be a long process, a step by step approach, that will build trust. It may take several years to come to fruition, but it would be giant step for world peace. Americans need to support this effort as it is in the best interest of everyone. It is time to stop the political warfare when it come to foreign policy. A united America, at least concerning foreign policy, can be a more effective and safe America.
