Lots of Posturing, Little Progress in US-North Korea Talks in 2019

William Gallo

   SEOUL - There was lots of posturing but little progress in 2019, as the
   United States and North Korea spent much of the year trying to convince
   the other side to take the first step in nuclear talks.

   With North Korea's end-of-year threats and its misguided belief that it
   can influence the 2020 U.S. presidential election, some fear the Korean
   Peninsula could soon return to a state of major tensions

   2019 began with Kim Jong Un warning he may take a "new way" if the U.S.
   didn't soften its stance in nuclear talks. The world may soon find out
   just what that means.
