The North has officially rejected unification, and regards South Korea as a separate, enemy country.
- pkkim 1y agoNot sure why this is downvoted. Kim Jong-un declared that reunification is no longer a goal in 2024 and tore down the Reunification Arch.

The US has a rich history of undermining unification processes. Like in 2005 when Bush Jr broke promises related to light-water reactors and the 2005 agreement (where North Korea would stop nuclear development in exchange for a non-aggression pact and relief from sanctions). Or in March 2017 when the U.S. has dismissed a joint China-North Korea proposal where North Korea would end its nuclear weapons development in exchange for the U.S. stopping its military maneuvers with South Korea
