Why Japan doesn't want South Korea serving Kim Jong-un a map mousse

“We’re going to do everything possible to have them brought back, and bring them back to Japan,” Trump said in a joint news conference with Abe. “I gave you that promise.”


Analysts said that the most Trump could do is mention the abductees, and that it was extremely unlikely he would insist on any specific action. “You had Trump voicing and saying the words that Abe wanted him to say,” said Jeffrey Hornung, a political scientist at the RAND Corp.


But if Kim offered, for example, to extend a testing freeze for a year but insisted the United States set aside any demands about the abductees, “would Trump say, ‘Nope, sorry, you’ve got to do the abduction issue too?’,” Hornung said.


“I can’t imagine Trump, who wants a success here and who really wants the big win, throwing away any big deal on denuclearisation or missiles for the sake of a Japanese priority,” he said.


Moon has also said he would raise the issue of the Japanese abductees in his meeting with Kim on Friday.
