Appearing on CNNs State of the Union, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) was asked by guest host Jim Acosta to weigh in on Trumps comments at last nights campaign rally in which the president mentioned that Kim was thinking about denuclearizing and America should be nice to Kim while he prepares to meet the reclusive leader.
Johnson noted that POTUS had been engaged in a maximum pressure campaign with Kim, adding that the US cannot let off the pressure and just watch the behavior go in the wrong direction.
So, again, its just incredibly important to keep I would is ratchet up the sanctions against North Korea until they actually do in a verifiable fashion to denuclearize, Johnson said.
After Acosta mentioned that America has been down this road before in negotiations with the North Koreans, Johnson was asked if Trump was just being naive here.
Lets hope not, the Wisconsin lawmaker responded. You have that history. Lets not be snookered again. Lets not be Charlie Brown to North Koreas Lucy. Weve seen this movie before thats why weve called on President Trump to make sure we maintain the maximum pressure campaign.
