The United States says it will continue its diplomatic efforts to denuclearize North Korea,...

despite news that its pointman on the regime is retiring.

The U.S. special representative for North Korea policy Joseph Yun says he will step

down at the end of this week.

He said the decision is entirely his own,... but the timing comes at a surprising juncture,...

as South Korea recently relayed that North Korea is open to direct discussions with the

U.S.

His departure will leave the Trump administration without an envoy for engaging North Korea

or an ambassador in Seoul, a spot that has been vacant for over a year.

Yun is retiring after more than three decades of service.

He said he's hopeful about the prospect of talks resolving the standoff over the regime's

nuclear program.

People FURIOUS At What US Green Beret Olympian Did In Picture After Losing Competition - Duration: 5:36.

People FURIOUS At What US Green Beret Olympian Did In Picture After Losing Competition

The 2018 Winter Olympics is about to come to a close after the most disastrous games

in modern history for America, if not of all time.

The honorable event for any hardworking, dedicated, and committed athlete to be a part of was

used by many members of Team USA as a very public stage to denounce the very country

they're there to represent by repeatedly trashing our president and vice president.

Just like the NFL recently experienced, this resulted in devastating ratings from overwhelming

loss of American interest for athletes who refuse to keep politics out of sports.

Among the many athletes to compete in this Olympics for Team USA, was Green Beret Nathan

Weber.

It wasn't until now, at the end of the games that America heard his name or even what he

was doing in PyeongChang.

Weber was there to compete in bobsledding, which he had trained for during the time he

was deployed to Afghanistan at an elite special forces camp.

Using what he had available to him and every second of his free time, Weber worked toward

his goal of a gold medal in the winter Olympics, through his own self-training.

Ultimately, he didn't earn a gold, or even a silver or a bronze medal.

He came in at the very disappointing 21st place, way below his expectations.

Ater realizing that all of his hard work for this competition he had been personally training

for while serving America didn't end remotely close to what he thought, he posed for a picture

that left a lot of Americans completely disgusted with what he did in it.

The gross disrespect for our president has been evident in the Olympics since before

they began when US downhill skier Lindsey Vonn preempted her appearance at the games

with slander campaign against Trump for every interview she was featured in.

This only got worse once the games began with a number of other athletes joining her on

her crusade against our administration.

Vice President Mike Pence received a disgusting reception when he arrived at the Olympics

which was also expected for First Daughter Ivanka Trump's Olympic trip for the final

competitions and closing ceremonies.

Shortly after landing she heard about Weber and wanted to personally meet him.

Ivanka got that opportunity as did Weber to get a picture with her, including his two

very young daughters in the shot for a specific reason.

The first daughter invited Weber's little girls to sit with her and watch the games.

According to their Olympian father, Ivanka treated his kids with genuine compassion,

as if they were her own, giving them incredible individualized attention.

In his words, "my daughters were like best friends today [with Ivanka].

It was a truly special experience for them."

However, the proud 30-year-old father didn't share details of his kids' incredible experience

with her until after he was ruthlessly attacked by anti-Trump trolls online.

Weber initially shared his picture of himself and his girls with Ivanka after White House

Press Secretary Sarah Sanders had posted it.

In sharing it, Weber, originally from Colorado, shared his own short sentiment, making a great

point: "Regardless of your politics, you have to admit that it's pretty cool when

@IvankaTrump invites your kids to watch the #Olympics with her.

It was an amazing experience for them.

#teamusa," he wrote.

This was just a start of the onslaught of attack that persisted, proving it's not

the Trumps who are a problem in this country, it's his detractors who refuse to accept

him as our president and feel justified in childish bullying that often turns violent.

Weber wasn't going to let their insults and divisive remarks break his stride and

beat them at their own game with his response to the torrent of trolls.That's how real

hero reacts when met with something he doesn't agree with.

He pointed out the truth that the left refuses to acknowledge about her and even her family,

that they are thoughtful and personable and most of all, have a deep respect for our military

heroes, thinking of thoughtful ways to thank them.

Furthermore, it's almost comical that these internet lunatics with too much time on their

hands and hate in their hearts would think that they could diminish a Green Beret.

Weber trained for the Olympics under the most difficult and trying circumstances, using

military ATVs on site to push backwards across the desert to prepare for the chance to compete

for America in bobsledding, Fox News reported.When I'm deployed I don't have those facilities,

the equipment, and the track and everything so I kind of had to make due," Weber told

Fox News.

"But I think being a Green Beret and being Special Forces kind of gave me the right mindset

to go out and make that happen.

That is kind of what we do as Green Berets — we don't necessarily always have the

right tools or equipment but we make things happen."

Nathan Weber understands that this is America, and people can say and do what they want.

He has fought for those rights.

However, Weber never backed down to the liberal haters.

He thought that having Ivanka sit with his daughters was an honor, he respects that she

is the daughter of his Commander-in-Chief.

It is alarming that the left will attack an Olympian and service member for loving his

country and respecting his President while praising disrespectful athletes who perpetuate

hate and divisiveness.

The Little Guy about the US school shootings - Duration: 1:47.

Today, Senne is going to give a presentation about his holiday.

Right, Senne?

Last week, I went to Disney World in Florida.

A bit cooler than an indoor playground. Right, Billy?

I pity that boring vacation you had.

There are approximately 20 million people in Florida.

Compared to last week, however, there are 17 people less,

because there was, once again, a school shooting.

It was already the 18th shooting at a school in the US.

This year.

And me, I am being punished for accidently smashing a window?

That really puts things in perspective, doesn't it, Miss?

In Florida, they're now processing this in their own American way.

They've already completed phase 1:

expressing collective outrage.

Now they've entered phase 2:

the call for change.

Just a few more days, and then we enter phase 3:

Doing nothing and waiting for the next idiot with a gun.

That's what people call a vicious circle.

Like the love life of Miss Evelyn.

Your new boyfriend isn't much of a prize, huh.

He's just as big a loser as all your former loser flings.

Fortunately, we live in Belgium.

Here, you can't just buy a gun and shoot people at a school.

Yes, Adil, I know what you're going to say...

Belgium has Barco and FN Herstal,

who build guns and weapon systems

used to blow up entire schools in the Middle East.

We're being hypocrites if we criticize the American weapon policy.

But those aren't Western kids, Adil.

Our mommies and daddies don't care as much, then.

Might I suggest we continue with the lesson now?

Billy needs it.

Otherwise, he'll never be able to end 4th grade.

Except with a machine gun.

Thank you for your attention.

Thank you, Senne.

S. Korea urges U.S. & N. Korea to lower bar for dialogue - Duration: 13:02.

And to tell us more about the chances of us seeing talks between the U.S. and North Korea,

as well as what role South Korea should play in order to keep up the Olympics-inspired

detente,...

Professor Shin Sang-hyup from Kyung Hee University joins us in the studio today.

Welcome to the program.

It's great to be here.

1- So it looks like North Korea and the U.S. could have talks after all.

What can we expect on this front?

2- But then U.S. President Donald Trump expressed a willingness to talk with

North Korea (QUOTE) "only under the right conditions."

What does he mean by the "right conditions"?

3- Last week though, Trump warned of a 'very rough' 'Phase Two' against North Korea if

new sanctions don't work.

What can we make of such warnings ahead of possible talks between the U.S. and North

Korea?

4- President Moon has said that the U.S. must lower its bar for dialogue while North Korea

must signal that denuclearization is on the agenda.

How did the two sides respond to this?

5- Then what are the chances that we may see North Korea demand an easing of sanctions

from the United States in order to come to the table for talks?

6- So while a lot is up in the air... what kind of role should the South Korean government

take in order to keep up the momentum?

7- Now, Seoul and Washington are scheduled to start joint military drills in April,...

and President Moon is hoping to get the United States and North Korea to make progress in

denuclearization talks before the drills.

8- But then we heard that Joseph Yun,... a top U.S. envoy on North Korea,... will be

retiring at the end of this week.

This is quite big news considering that Yun was widely seen as having a crucial role to

play in any future negotiations between the U.S. and North Korea.

9- With the U.S. and North Korea

still quite far apart on the terms under which they would be ready to talk to each other,...

what strategies or countermeasures should the South Korean government have in place

for all possible scenarios?

Thank you

for your insight today.

Thank you.

U.S. firm on conditions for N. Korea talks; Seoul to pursue mediator role - Duration: 2:22.

With North Korea and the United States talking 'talks,' the most critical now are whether

Washington and Pyongyang are on the same page in term of what they mean by 'talks'... and

whether South Korea's ready and capable to mediate the two.

Oh Jung-hee gives us a closer look on what Pyongyang wants through talks... and how South

Korea plans to communicate with the U.S. North Korea's delegation to the closing ceremony

of the PyeongChang Winter Olympics... repeatedly said the North is willing to talk to the U.S.,

and they laid out no particular preconditions.

It's been pretty rare for North Korea to openly and clearly mention a "will to talk,"... but

the U.S. is standing firm: talks can happen only if they're for denuclearization.

" North Korea, who, by the way, wants to talk -- as of last night you heard that, they want

to talk.

We want to talk also, only under the right conditions."

So President Trump has thrown the ball back to Pyongyang.

If the regime wants to sit down with the U.S., then Kim Jong-un will have to decide whether

he's willing to discuss denuclearization.

But experts believe... what North Korea means by 'talks' would not be about giving up its

nuclear program... but rather a nuclear freeze.

"North Korea may be ready to discuss... first, halting its nuclear and missile tests... and

then, accepting IAEA inspections and stopping its nuclear facilities.

I believe North Korea will reject discarding its nuclear weapons by putting forth conditions

that are difficult to meet."

But the expert added... that this could be enough for the U.S. to see that conditions

for dialogue with North Korea are in place... as the regime's test-firing of ICBMs has been

a tangible threat for the U.S.

On Monday, President Moon urged the North to show a will to denuclearize... but at the

same time said Washington should "lower the threshold" for talks with Pyongyang.

To create a greater room for dialogue between Washington and Pyongyang,... diplomatic sources

say,...

Seoul plans to send its top nuclear envoy to Washington... as soon as this week.

The goal would be to find areas of common interest between the two sides... and ultimately

enable any type of talks step-by-step.

Oh Jung-hee, Arirang News.

Joseph Yun to leave post of U.S. State Department's top North Korea diplomat - Duration: 2:09.

The United States says it will continue its diplomatic efforts to denuclearize North Korea,...

despite news that its pointman on the regime is retiring.

This comes amid heightened hopes for U.S.-North Korea talks following South Korea's successful

hosting of the PyeongChang Winter Olympics.

Park Soyun reports.

The announcement came just as signs were emerging that Pyongyang may be willing to talk to Washington.

The U.S. special representative for North Korea policy Joseph Yun says he will step

down from his post at the end of this week.

He said the decision was entirely his own,... but the timing comes at a surprising juncture,...

as South Korea recently relayed that North Korea is open to direct discussions with the

United States.

U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson sought to dissuade him, but reluctantly accepted

Yun's resignation "with regret."

Yun, like Tillerson, is an advocate of engaging in dialogue with Pyongyang --- a tricky position

to take amid the Trump's administration's policy of applying maximum pressure over engagement.

Joseph Yun's diplomatic career spans more than three decades, serving as Ambassador

to Malaysia from 2013 to 2016 under then-President Barack Obama.

Yun played a key role in tackling North Korea's nuclear issues as the U.S. special representative

for North Korea, appointed by the Obama Administration in October 2016.

He also played an instrumental role in releasing Otto Warmbier, an American student detained

in North Korea for more than a year.

Yun's authority to negotiate with North Korea appeared to be undermined by a tug-of-war

between the White House and the State Department over the direction of North Korea policy under

the Trump administration.

However, Yun told the Washington Post that his retirement was not a decision based on

policy differences with President Trump or his inner circle.

He added that he's 'very hopeful' about the prospect of talks resolving the standoff over

North Korea's nuclear program.

Nevertheless,... his departure will leave the Trump administration without an envoy

for engaging North Korea or an ambassador in Seoul, a spot that has been vacant for

a year.
