Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Tuesday criticized a joint diplomatic statement released a few hours before from President Trump and North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un as lacking detail and giving Kim too much room to back out.
Schumer said by meeting with Kim, Trump has given “a brutal and repressive dictatorship the international legitimacy it has long craved.”
“It is best not to dive in head first and hope for the best but rather to work slowly, transparently and verifiably to build trust and lock in concessions,” Schumer warned.
Schumer argued the agreement lacks detail on achieving a pathway to the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula, on how the United States may verify that North Korea has disarmed and on how to ensure that North Korea stops enriching plutonium and uranium.
“The document is short on details,” Schumer said. “As we have learned in the wake of the collapse of the 1994 and 2005 agreements, North Korea is liable to backtrack on vague commitments as soon as it's in their interest.”
Schumer argued that Kim has “a history” of backing out of agreements and raised concern that the North Korean leader may not make any further concession now that he scored the public relations coup of meeting with a U.S. president as an equal on the international stage.
“It is worrisome, very worrisome, that this joint statement is so imprecise,” he added.
Schumer said he was also very troubled by Trump agreeing to suspend joint military exercises with South Korea, the United States's longtime ally.
Schumer defended those exercises as legal and said they were given up for the “mere hope” that North Korea will freeze its “illegal nuclear testing regime.”

Just because Schumer is exploiting a political angle doesn’t make him wrong. Kim is murderous gangster and the NK government is not in any way legitimate.
We ARE at war with North Korea.
Obama made Iran legit?
Yo Chuckie
Obama’s Iran deal. Sit down and shut up. You DC Jackasses have utterly NO standing anymore to make any comment about any deal give the utterly disgraceful abject surrender you all signed off on with Iran.
Slipping (maybe free falling) into total irrelevance is very difficult for Chuck’s fragile but immense ego.
This from the people who wear Che t shirts, embraced the Castro brothers, and think Mao was an agrarian reformer.
We have a BINGO!
One can only hope that truth will finally become obvious to the majority of LIV's.
It seems a no-brainer that the left is overplaying its hand with Trump Derangement Syndrome, but it would serve us all well to remember how many brainless voters there are out there.
It’s not like hiding our eyes, pinching our nose and plugging our ears were going to make them go away.
Chuck is ridiculous and will look so even more later on.
Repressive? As in the DNC?
And schmucky did for 8 years
Will Clinton basically gave NK nukes which is why we are where we are. When Trump was ugly to “ rocket man”.Chuckie was appalled. Now when Trumps nice Summer is appalled.
YES! That's a very good litmus test in my opinion.
Nary a peep from Schmucky when Zero was in Cuba playing footsie with the regime there.
That being said, if my home and family were being threatened by a murderous gangster, I would be far more comfortable with the likes of Chuck Norris defending my interests than Pee Wee Herman.
That DJT, Pompeo, Mattis and Bolton are at the table changes everything.
Shut up Chuckie!
And he's not even holding his balls.

Well the road will still be rocky here. If NK loosens up, Kim’s name will still be mud with a lot of them. We may see an exile. Donald has volunteered to take the stink of Kim’s kimchee.
Reminder: Hillary Clinton said that 40% of Democrats are Socialists. Chuckie is obviously part of the 60% of the remaining Democrats who are Communists.
Chuckie also wants to disarm American Citizens so they can have something in common with North Korean Citizens.
What Schumer has to say about it is not worth a comment, not even this one.
We’ve been at war against North Korea since 1950. In that time their military has gotten stronger, they’ve become totally isolated, and they have nukes that can reach our shore. How’s that working for us? And oh, yeah, the definition of insanity is....
