Pence: North Korea will 'end like the Libyan model' if Kim does not cooperate
BY JULIA MANCHESTER - 05/21/18 07:42 PM EDT
Vice President Pence warned in an interview on Monday that talks between the U.S. and North Korea could end like Libya's denuclearization process if Kim Jong Un does not cooperate.
"You know, there was some talk of the Libyan model last week. And as the president made clear, this will only end like the Libyan model ended if Kim Jong Un doesn't make a deal," Pence told Martha MacCallum on Fox News.
"It would be a great mistake for Kim Jong Un to think he could play Donald Trump," Pence said, adding that there is no question Trump would be willing to walk away from the talks if they prove unproductive.
"But we hope for better. We really hope that Kim Jong Un will seize the opportunity to dismantle his nuclear weapons program, and do so by peaceable means," he said.
Pence's remarks come after national security adviser John Bolton said on Sunday that the U.S. was looking at using the Libya model as a way of getting Pyongyang to surrender its nuclear weapons.

Worse
His own people will hang him
Or do what he does
Line him up and fire antiaircraft guns at him
He better be damn careful quick and get rid of the cocky bravado
“I watched the interview. I think the author is mis-characterizing Pences tone.”
Yes. Ths Hill always does. And their audience eats it up.
#4. Most No. Koreans don’t get the full news, if at all. Lil’ Kim will tell them what he wants them to hear and think regardless if it is the truth or not.
Pence and Bolton have sent Kim a direct message. He’s not stupid enough to ignore it, I hope.
I also don’t see why the Trump admin would want to remind the world of the crap Obama and Clinton pulled in Libya.
-
Yep. We had no business overthrowing Libya. They were a threat to no one.
Oh gosh - more crap from a professional stable hand.....how do you keep it up?
The Art of the Deal, good cop bad cop.
Li’l Kimmy needs to know that there are hawks around here.
Don’t expect Kim to give up his nukes, he has not given up the idea of reunification on his terms.
Oh really?
I feel Pence’s remarks would damn sure would piss off any foreign power. Perhaps I am wrong, but; his comments ticked me off. Pence seems to act like he is emulating Trump too often.
