John Bolton says North Korea will 'never' give up nuclear weapons voluntarily
WASHINGTON — In his first public remarks since a contentious departure from the White House, former national security adviser John Bolton spoke out against President Donald Trump’s diplomatic gambit with North Korea.
Bolton, who began his speech by noting his new freedom to speak in “unvarnished terms,” said North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has no intention of giving up his nuclear weapons — which Trump has insisted he will as part of their one-on-one negotiations. Bolton also argued that “at some point military force has to be an option.”
“Under current circumstances he will never give up the nuclear weapons voluntarily,” he said during an appearance at a forum on U.S.-Korea policy at the Washington-based think tank Center for Strategic International Studies.
Asked later if “bromance” diplomacy is the best approach, he smiled and said “no comment.”

I feel odd to say this but I agree with Bolton that Kim will never give up his nuclear weapons.
I do not agree with using military force unless North Korea makes the first move.
If anything Bolton is in part to blame for their stance. Iraq gave up its weapons of mass destruction and was still invaded.
Iran backed away from nuclear development and found sanctions reimposed by the Trump administration at Bolton's encouragement.
Why would North Korea give up their weapons in light of that?

North Korea's "great economic potential" if he does?
