Swinging In The Dark: Eve of the June 12 Summit
June 7, 2018

マイケル・グリーン:これは伝統的な意味での、ジョージ・ケナンの言う「外交」で
はなくて、WWFレスリングマッチであって・・
MR. GREEN: No. Despite the efforts of the State Department and the Singaporean
Foreign Ministry and others, this is not diplomacy in the tradition of Dean Acheson or
George Kennan or George Schultz. This is a little more akin to a World Wrestling
Federation match. I mean, it really is a lot about the drama. There may be some
outcomes. We can talk about that. But it has, in my view, devolved from a negotiation
into more of an event.

これはオリンピックのようにメディア向けの出し物で日本のNHKは100人を送り込み・・
MR. CHA: We all laughed at the time. But it just goes to show, as Mike said, what a
spectacle this is. I don’t think the listeners really understand how much of a world
media event this is going to be. All of us have been talking to media around town
over the last week and everybody is ? everybody’s going to Singapore and basically
going to basically do their core newscasts out of Singapore with the summit as the
backdrop as if we were at the Olympics, although this is probably even bigger than
the Olympics. NHK is sending 100 reporters.
ボルトンはどうなっている?
MR. SCHWARTZ: What happened with Bolton?
MR. GREEN: Well, the reports are he’s not going, which is really unusual for ?
MR. SCHWARTZ: So the national security adviser is not going to the biggest negotiation.
我々3人はかってNSCのメンバーであった経験を持つか北朝鮮との交渉にはボルトンも
NSCも関わらないという異様な状態
