From South Korea

★ "Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula" ( = nuclear free zone (NFZ)) means that the US forces' withdrawal from the Korean Peninsula. Kim Jung-un insists on "Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula".

"The denuclearization of North Korea" means that Kim Jung-un's giving up nuclear weapons. This is that Trump knows well of.

"The denuclearization of the Korean peninsula" is different completely from "the denuclearization of North Korea".

Trump must have been tricked. Trump must have been deceived by the special envoys of Moon Jae-in. ★

it is obvious that Kim Jong-un put to its best use North Korea's tactics choosing terminologies of self-contradictory meanings as a means to confuse adversaries.

Chung and his colleagues(Moon Jae-in's envoys) apparently chose, willfully or not, to allow themselves to fall prey to the North Korean tactics.

As a result, Chung and his colleagues have left the room for North Korea to continue to be in the driver's seat in its attempt to cut a deal with the United States.

Here are some of the cases in point:

Chung cited Kim's reference to the word 'denuclearization' as the base of his assertion that Kim was 'committed to denuclearization.' However, Chung was ignoring the simple fact that a 'denuclearization' in the North Korean vocabulary was a terminology that had a totally different meaning from the same terminology in the vocabularies of the Republic of Korea, the U.S. and the rest of the western international community.

The 'denuclearization' that western world refers to is a terminology that, on the basis of the assumption that the Republic of Korea is still a 'non-nuclear' state, calls for a 'CVID (complete, verifiable and irreversible dismantlement) of all of North Korea's nuclear material (inclusive of nuclear weapons whose verification still remains the task of the future) as well as nuclear arms development programs,' categorically denying the North Korean claim that it be accepted as the ninth 'nuclear state' of the world.

To the contrary, a 'denuclearization' that North Korea refers to is actually a reference to a 'nuclear free zone (NFZ)' that comprises the Korean Peninsula as a whole and its neighborhood that covers an area that has yet to be defined. North Korea argues that, 'since North Korea's nuclear arms program was necessitated as a means of self-defense against the threat posed by the U.S. military presence in the area complete with nuclear weapons deployment, any debate on the North Korean nuclear program should be preceded by a debate on the U.S. nuclear armaments that threatens North Korea's national security,' Or accepting North Korea as another 'nuclear state' (ninth after the U.S., Russia, China, U.K., France, India, Pakistan and Israel). 'North Korea's nuclear and missile issues is coped with within the framework of international nuclear arms control negotiations.'

Given this confusion in semantics, the argument is bound to be far-fetched, because Kim Jong Un referred to the terminology 'denuclearization,' he had been accepted falsely as having committed himself to a 'denuclearization' that satisfies the western definition of the wording.

Under the circumstances, unless the confusion that surrounds the definition of the terminology is somehow resolved in advance, it is certain that the summit between the U.S. and North Korea will turn into the ring of a renewed round of confrontation characterized the stalemate of 25 years of the Beijing Six-party Process.

Such a long term semantic arguing between the two countries at the level of the summit is all too likely to be catastrophic. President Trump will have to find himself likened to a barking dog against a chicken on top of a fence, seeing North Korea enjoying the respite to finish its nuclear and ballistic missile programs while allowing the entire North Korean nuclear issue to remain in the state of a limbo for a long period .
