Excerpt:

SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea has asked United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to deal with the "illegal" seizure of one of its cargo ships by the United States, state media said on Saturday.

"This act of dispossession has clearly indicated that the United States is indeed a gangster country that does not care at all about international laws," the North Korean ambassador to the United Nations said in a letter sent to Guterres dated Friday, according to North Korea's KCNA news agency.

Pyongyang's protest to the United Nations over the seizure comes amid mounting tensions since a second summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and U.S. President Donald Trump, aimed at bringing about the denuclearization of the North, broke down in Hanoi in February.

It wasn't an illegal seizure.

It was a valid seizure. What does this have to do with Trump's negotiating prowess or lack thereof?

What I mean by a smooth negotiator is the way he utterly has destroyed the peace progress with North Korea that Moon made. He is 100% instigating North Korea instead of trying to make peace.

What peace process in North Korea has he destroyed? How has he instigated them?

Note the end of the article: "The vessel was accused of illicit coal shipments in violation of sanctions and was first detained by Indonesia in April 2018."

I don't think this has as much to do with Trump as it does sanctions. Since we're talking about North Korea, the sanctions could be internationally imposed. That would explain why Indonesia was initially involved.


The shipment this time could be entirely different, but when you consider North Korea's history of aggressive behavior, it would be good to know exactly what is on the ship.

I found a slightly more informative article on this: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...ns/1151057001/

The sanctions were indeed international.
