Trump’s Iran Decision Sends North Korea a Signal. Was It the Right One?

TOKYO — In announcing his decision to exit the Iran nuclear accord, President Trump said he also wanted to send a signal about the kind of hard bargain he plans to drive with another longtime American adversary, North Korea.

Many analysts in Asia greeted the move with skepticism, however, saying it would instead jeopardize the goals of a planned summit meeting between Mr. Trump and North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un.

By withdrawing from the Iran deal, analysts said, Mr. Trump has proved the United States to be an untrustworthy negotiating partner that cannot be counted on to honor any agreement.

“Only a fool would trust the US to keep its word in a rogue state nuke deal now,” Robert E. Kelly, a professor of political science at Pusan National University in South Korea, wrote on Twitter.

For its part, the Trump administration indicated that the decision was intended to show North Korea that only a complete rollback of its nuclear program would be acceptable. “The message to North Korea is: The president wants a real deal,” John R. Bolton, Mr. Trump’s national security adviser, told reporters.

While most experts on North Korea thought the Iran announcement would complicate the coming talks, some saw a consistency in the administration’s messaging.

“One side benefit, intended or not, of pulling out from the Iran deal is that it sets the tone with the American public, the international community and the North Koreans that the Trump administration will not accept what it considers a ‘weak’ deal,” said Sue Mi Terry, senior fellow and Korea chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

But it is a risky approach. The message that Mr. Trump will walk away if Mr. Kim does not agree to complete disarmament on an aggressive timeline “is setting a very high bar for success,” said Bruce Klingner, a Korea and Japan specialist at the Heritage Foundation in Washington.

In a way, Mr. Klingner said, Mr. Trump has “painted himself into a corner diplomatically and reduced his flexibility because the deal has to be better than anything that came before.” What’s more, he said, “Democrats and proponents of the Iran deal will be assessing any deal that Trump comes up with against the Iran deal.”

If Mr. Trump demands that the North dismantle its nuclear arsenal completely and quickly, “it will test how desperate and how sincere Kim Jong-un is for a deal,” said Moon Seong-mook, a senior analyst at the Korea Research Institute for National Strategy in Seoul, South Korea.

In recent weeks, Mr. Kim has not been behaving like a desperate leader. Whereas he spent the first six years of his reign as a recluse, never venturing outside the country, he has been to China twice in 40 days to meet with President Xi Jinping, and last month traveled to the South Korean side of the border village of Panmunjom to meet with President Moon Jae-in.

China, the North’s longstanding patron, had at first seemed sidelined from the talks, but now could potentially play a significant role in whatever deal emerges.

When Mr. Kim and Mr. Moon met — the first time a North Korean leader had entered the South — they delivered a statement committing to the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, though they gave few details about what that meant.

Indeed, while the term has been bandied about regularly in a frenzy of diplomacy in recent weeks, denuclearization is a fungible concept.

During a meeting in Tokyo of the leaders of China, Japan and South Korea on Wednesday, all three mentioned “denuclearization” during remarks to reporters. Yet it is clear they have different ideas about how it would be achieved.

On Tuesday, for example, when Mr. Kim flew to Dalian, China, to meet with Mr. Xi, the two leaders outlined a far more drawn-out process for denuclearization than is favored by either the United States or its ally Japan.

Denuclearization is “a very broad Rorschach test” that can “mean anything and everything to everybody,” said Kent Calder, director of the Center for East Asian Studies at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies in Washington.

In a meeting between Mr. Moon and Mr. Abe on Wednesday, the South Korean leader emphasized the challenges of agreeing on definitions and developing a road map for achieving North Korea’s disarmament. “While North Korea has agreed on the basic principle of denuclearization,” Mr. Moon said, “it is a difficult question how to specifically realize that.”

Mr. Trump is known for his impatience. And some analysts said Mr. Kim might shrewdly seize on the decision to withdraw from the Iran deal as a reason to offer shallow, short-term concessions, on the basis that the United States cannot be trusted to enter a long-term deal.

“Kim Jong-un is choreographing this diplomatic dance, and seems to have studied Trump carefully,” said Laura Rosenberger, a senior fellow and director of the Washington-based Alliance for Securing Democracy. “The erosion of U.S. credibility by pulling out of the Iran deal reduces the incentives for Kim to agree to a long-term deal and increases incentives for him to dupe Trump into something that sacrifices U.S. interests but allows Trump to declare victory and go home.”

In Japan, analysts said Mr. Kim had already accounted for Mr. Trump’s desire for quick wins, even before the withdrawal from the Iran deal. “North Koreans will continue to maintain their tactics,” said Kunihiko Miyake, a former Japanese diplomat now teaching at Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto. “The real question is whether or not the Americans will buy it.”

In calling for more stringent demands that North Korea dismantle its weapons program, Mr. Bolton appeared to raise the stakes for Mr. Trump’s meeting with Mr. Kim. Analysts in China suggested Mr. Kim had no intention of giving up his nuclear weapons. “At the end of the day, Kim Jong-un is not planning to trust the U.S. security guarantees,” said Tong Zhao, a fellow at the Carnegie-Tsinghua Center for Global Policy.

Mr. Trump’s withdrawal from the Iran deal, Mr. Tong said, proved to North Korea that American guarantees “can be reversed anytime.”

“Retaining his core nuclear capabilities serves as a hedge against future uncertainties,” Mr. Tong said.

By engaging in a whirlwind of diplomacy, Mr. Kim has deftly sought to play countries off one another. His trip to China this week was part of his effort to enlist Beijing’s support in confronting the American pressure while taking advantage of “the struggle for regional hegemony between China and the United States,” said Yun Duk-min, a former chancellor of the Korea National Diplomatic Academy in Seoul, who now teaches at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies.

All of North Korea’s neighbors are hustling to stake their own claims to guiding the peace process on the peninsula.

“Under the rubric of ‘we need to solve this proliferation problem,’ they are each angling to enhance their own prestige vis-à-vis the other,” said June Teufel Dreyer, professor of political science at the University of Miami. “They are all trying to solve it in a way that allows them to take the credit while not adversely affecting their own interests.”

Amid all this wrangling, North Korea may have the least to lose.

Even if the meeting between Mr. Kim and Mr. Trump does not produce an agreement, said Duyeon Kim, visiting senior fellow at the Korean Peninsula Future Forum in Seoul, “the North doesn’t lose much because it can continue business as usual by refining and mass producing nuclear warheads and ballistic missiles as planned.”

2018 Summer Movie Preview: 10 Films We're Excited About

With "Avengers: Infinity War" skyrocketing towards approximately a trillion dollars at the box office, the summer movie season has commenced. For film lovers, it's a weekly serving of mega meals, often with huge casts and even larger special effects, all fighting for our attention. 

To cut through the massive list of films headed to a multiplex or art house near you, we're sharing the top ten most enticing movies on the horizon (with all release dates scheduled to change). 

There are also some honorable mentions for the movies that I can't wait for a wider audience to see. That includes Bo Burnham's hilarious coming of age story "Eighth Grade," Lauren Greenfield's in-depth and personal documentary about excess, "Generation Wealth," Nancy Choe's disturbing character piece and (excellent star vehicle for Andrea Riseborough), "Nancy," and Joseph Kahn's molotov cocktail of a rap battle movie, "Bodied." 

Below is a list of our ten most anticipated titles in what promises to be a very busy summer. We'll be covering these films among many more at RogerEbert.com, so be sure to check back for our reviews. 

10. "Solo: A Star Wars Story" 

Whether you want to believe the stories behind the scenes or not (including the one about Alden Ehrenreich needing an acting coach on set), the changing of the directors from Phil Lord & Chris Miller to Ron Howard has always left me with plenty skepticism, if for the fact that the previous directors have a more distinct visual style, while the other seems to be more of a workman. But, it's "Star Wars," so of course we'll be seeing it once, if not twice. At the very least, maybe if the movie turns out to be not so good, we can try to get a Lando Calrissian movie starring Donald Glover instead. (May 25) 

9. "The Spy Who Dumped Me" 

Kate McKinnon and Mila Kunis star in this comedy directed by Susanna Fogel, who also co-wrote the script. Like with the other pairings on this list, that casting seems like it could bring some great work out of the underrated Kunis and McKinnon, who is working her way towards headlining a comedy of her own. (August 3) 

8. "Under the Silver Lake"

David Robert Mitchell made quite a splash with his previous horror movie, "It Follows," and now in his third film "Under the Silver Lake" has a lot of anticipation. His Los Angeles noir, with a running time of about 140 minutes, sounds all the more curious, along with its casting of Andrew Garfield and Riley Keough. We'll know a bit more about this one when it soon plays at the Cannes Film Festival, one of the few American films competing this year. (June 22) 

7. "Hereditary" 

This movie could very well be the horror hit of the summer, especially if the buzz that followed it from last January's Sundance is right. I remember the shattered reactions of those who saw the film the night of its premiere, and I've been very curious about this movie's potential for the scary and the emotional. Plus, there has been a lot of great word about Toni Collette's performance. Coming from the people who made "The Witch" a cool horror movie, "Hereditary" has me ready to be scared. (June 8) 

6. "Sorry to Bother You" 

I missed this Sundance hit from writer/director Boots Riley when it premiered at the festival, but I'm eager to see what the buzz is about. Lakeith Stanfield stars in the movie (set in "an alternate present-day" version of Oakland) as a man who finds a secret to success. The premise is a strong-enough hook, as complemented with a very intriguing cast that includes Tessa Thompson, Armie Hammer, Terry Crews, David Cross, Steven Yeun, Patton Oswalt and more. (July 6) 

5. "Action Point" 

Summer is a great time for a studio comedy, but it doesn't look like "Action Point" will have any immediate competitors. Based off a true amusement park that had plenty of engineering problems in real life, "Action Point" looks to bring back that inclusive spirit of the "Jackass" movies, at least with the very specific casting of Johnny Knoxville, who is bound to have pain inflicted on him in numerous ways. While I can only imagine what his insurance deal is for such a movie, I'm very excited at a summer movie about an amusement park that looks like it simply wants to be an amusement park. (June 1) 

4. "Ocean's 8" 

The best way to bring the "Ocean's" brand of heists is with star power, and why not some new faces? "The Hunger Games" director Gary Ross has co-written a story that leads to an all-star lineup of charismatic women, including Cate Blanchett, Rihanna, Sandra Bullock, Akwafina, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway and more. Just as Steven Soderbergh's "Ocean's" movies were parties, this one has me hoping it's a blast. (June 8) 

3. "Uncle Drew" 

There's a little nostalgia behind my anticipation for "Uncle Drew," especially how the sports comedy will bring back athletes to jokey roles on the silver screen, in a way that we haven't seen in years. Superstars Kyrie Irving, Shaq, Chris Webber, Reggie Miller, Nate Robinson, and Lisa Leslie are going to wear old-age makeup while playing basketball, a type of cartoonish gag that I hope works as well as it sounds. Added to the mix is "Get Out" scene-steal Lil Rel Howery, sharing the screen with "Girls Trip" scene-stealer Tiffany Haddish. (June 29) 

2. "BlacKkKlansman" 

Spike Lee just released the theatrical adaptation "Pass Over," but will soon be adding a new title to his illustrious filmography, "BlacKkKlansman." Produced by "Get Out" writer/director Jordan Peele, this film has incredible promise given its premise (about a black man who infiltrated the KKK, a true story) and the way that it looks ready to entire our country's current discussion about race. (August 10)  

1. "Crazy Rich Asians"

It seems fitting that this bonanza of a summer movie season would be capped off with a wedding, especially one that promises lots of extravagance and all-star talent. Jon Chu directs the highly-anticipated film adaptation of Kevin Kwan's novel "Crazy Rich Asians," starring Constance Wu, Michelle Yeoh, Henry Golding, Gemma Chan, Akwafina, Ken Jeong, Jimmy O. Yang, Harry Shum Jr. and more. The movie already has some great buzz after screening at the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival, which also gives the promise that the film is primed for a lot of cultural discussion. It's also very exciting, however disheartening to point out, that this is the first Western-produced film using an exclusively Asian cast in over two decades. It looks like "Crazy Rich Asians" will give us plenty to celebrate.
