Rep. Frankel Statement on North Korea Summit

Statement

Date: June 12, 2018
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Executive Branch Foreign Affairs

Today, Congresswoman Lois Frankel (FL-21) issued the following statement after President Trump's summit with Kim Jong-un in Singapore:

"Diplomacy is welcome but what we got was another hyped-up episode of a bad reality show. Trump gave North Korea a major U.S. concession - suspension of defensive military drills with South Korea. In exchange, Kim Jong-un offered a vague promise instead of concrete timetables and a commitment to verifiable denuclearization. Congress must watch this carefully."
