MS. TERRY: Kim Jong-un has already gained international acceptance as a
nuclear power. He has legitimized his role. I think so much better off right now
than where he was last November/December, right, in 2017.
With all this summitry and diplomacy also, as Mike talked about, political will to
implement sanctions is gone. China ? there’s already reports that China is not
really implementing sanctions anymore. We have reports that North Korean
seafood is showing up in the areas ? in Chinese part ? China’s part. We have
reports of surface to surface-ship transfer of fuel. So it's already political will to
implement sanctions is, I think, weakened. And we have inter-Korea projects
which is going to continue. Not the South Korean president is going to find ways
to violate U.N. sanctions, but outside of that I think they are going ? they are
going to continue with the inter-Korea projects. And so I think Kim Jong-un is far
better off right now than where he was a few months ago.
