Washington's new special envoy for North Korea will soon be visiting America's allies in
Northeast Asia.
With some critics questioning his fit for the job given his lack of diplomatic experience,...
there's attention on whether he can break the stalemate between North Korea and the
U.S. Lee Ji-won has this story.
South Korean news outlets are reporting that Stephen Biegun will soon embark on a trip
to Northeast Asia, which will include stops in Seoul and Tokyo.
This will be his first time in the region as the new U.S. special envoy for North Korea
since he assumed the role last month.
His South Korean counterpart is the special representative for Korean Peninsula Peace
and Security Affairs in the foreign affairs ministry, Lee Do-hoon.
Biegun previously served as an Executive Secretary of the National Security Council, a foreign
policy advisor to members of Congress and was an executive at Ford Motor Company.
While critics of the administration claim he's unsuitable for the position, considering
how he was focused for much of his career on Europe,... some beg to differ.
CNBC cited Brett Bruen, a former director of global engagement at the White House as
saying Biegun may have the "precise quality that's needed during the fraught negotiations"
-- the ability to talk with President Donald Trump.
Bruen says no one in the State Department has the ability to convey the complexity of
the denuclearization negotiations to the president in a way that he understands and will go along
with.
The former New Mexico governor and UN ambassador, Bill Richardson said Biegun's skills at Ford
will come in handy,... but he should also learn the North Koreans' negotiating style
-- which Richardson called wily.
He also suggested the two words Biegun should remember during his talks with the North are
"timelines" and "verification".
With the denuclearization process between Pyongyang and Washington seemingly at a standstill,...
it remains to be seen whether Biegun's trip to Asia can move the needle forward.
