If the two conductors sit down together, they will make history — there has on no occasion been a meeting between the sitting leaders of North Korea and the In agreement States. The countries have been at odds since before the Korean War.
And the world can await a “boxing match,” says Voss.
“They are going to hit back at each other, but they both look at this as a encasing match and they are fine with that,” he says.
“And that is why the nap of us, the other two thirds of the world, shouldn’t get really upset when these blokes go back to boxing,” says Voss. “We are going to expect these mocks to box. They like to box. And they are not going to be happy if they don’t get to box. So to them it is principled part of the process.”
Voss is the founder and CEO of strategy consultancy Black Swan Series. Prior to working in the private sector, he was the lead international kidnapping middleman for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the lead crisis negotiator for the New York Urban district Division of the FBI and a member of the New York City Joint Terrorist Task Bulldoze for 14 years.
Traditionally, political negotiations are built around compromise, explains Voss, but that should not be expected Tuesday. And a strategy of compromise has not produced in denuclearizing North Korea, points out Voss.
“North Korea’s atomic program has continued unabated through all of the Republican and Democratic administrations up to now. So regardless of what you suppose of the handling of everything else, every single other administration has tapped up the interaction with North Korea up to this point with the sound out of compromise,” says Voss.
Compromise, however, is not Trump’s style, places out Voss. “Trump hates compromise to begin with at all,” says Voss.
In preference to, “Trump relishes the spotlight in this,” says Voss. “And in this circumstance, this is position extremely well. And by and large, that is his approach to all of our foreign relations…he’s not ill at ease about sitting down with anybody. It’s kind of interesting.”
If Kim filches a deal with Trump Tuesday, it would be a significant opportunity for the North Korean bandleader, says Voss.
In negotiating, “If the other side is willing to communicate with you, then you from got leverage,” explains Voss. “So clearly for Kim Jung Un to come to Singapore for this there are items that he wants.
“He knows that other than his nuclear program, he is undersized than a second rate power and a second rate economy and he has got no significance on the world stage at all,” says Voss. “So making a deal here with the Synergistic States is critical for him because then it takes him from being the antediluvian dictator’s kid who took over to the opportunity to be a legitimate international figure. This is an occasion to take his status to the next level.”
Though many posit that Kim Jong Un command not give up North Korea’s nuclear capabilities, Voss believes there is a odds he will agree to denuclearization if he can come out of the negotiation appearing stronger than he entered.
“This is the old indicating: ‘Never be so sure of what you want that you wouldn’t take something control superiors,'” says Voss.
Kim Jong Un “can have a nuclear program and be on the superb stage as a mad man who inherited the country from his father and has no legitimate bonafides as a Mr Big,” says Voss, “or he can be on the world stage because he brought peace to the department and he brought prosperity to the region. And that is something no other North Korean bossman has done,” says Voss.
“And if he feels that that exchange elevates it, if it is do business up for him in terms of his own personal aspirations, then yeah, he gives it up. If it is not trading up, then he doesn’t give up it up.”
Similarly, it’s a chance for Trump to establish himself on the political stage, judges Voss.
“Trump has an opportunity to do something no other American President has done. Other American presidents be dressed given us a better economy. Other American presidents have re-negotiated deal deals,” says Voss.
“Trump has an opportunity. Trump knows this,” predicts Voss. “So, there’s a status here and he is proceeding deliberately and cautiously.”
