Sen. Chuck Schumer, Dems give Trump their list of conditions for North Korea nuclear deal

Senate Democrats on Monday presented President Trump with their list of conditions for a denuclearization deal with North Korea, saying they would only support lifting sanctions on Pyongyang in exchange for complete dismantling of the nuclear program.

They also want a deal to put checks on North Korea’s chemical and biological weapons.

The senators laid out a list of five demands in a letter to Mr. Trump, who is preparing for a June 12 summit with North Korea leader Kim Jong-un.

Sen. Charles E. Schumer, who signed the letter with six other Senate Democrats, told reporters that the Democrats didn’t want America “saddled with a bad deal.”

The New York Democrat warned against Mr. Trump accepting a bad deal just because he wanted a deal.

“The president needs to be able to walk away from the table if there isn’t a good deal to be had,” Mr. Schumer said. “He also needs to be willing to take the time to construct a good deal.”

Democrats staunchly opposed Mr. Trump’s moves with North Korea from the start, saying his tough rhetoric was tempting nuclear war and then that agreeing to a face-to-face meeting was empowering Mr. Kim.

The letter spelled out five conditions:

Very high housing prices and the cost of living is higher than average. High local taxes. It’s a tourist and college town. About a 50-50 Conservative to Liberal ratio.

If the high cost of living isn’t a problem, you would enjoy it here. Coping with libs is pretty routine these days.

No, that won't work. Tight budget here.

Actually, Schumer, and a few other Democrats, opposed the Iran deal. It was actually that rotten. That didn’t stop him from criticizing President Trump for abrogating it.

Schumer is showboating. I know, that’s never happened before.

Trump can make kind of deal he wants. If he can reach a reasonable deal with North Korea that gives real hope of lasting peace on the Korean Peninsula, he should be able to get a treaty through the Senate regardless of Schumer’s grandstanding.
