Similarly, bilateral requests that North Korea had made for years, such as repeal of its designation by the US as an enemy in the context of the “Trading with the Enemy Act,” once delivered, were dismissed as unimportant. Such offers remain on the table, gathering dust, but it has been entirely North Korea’s decision not to pursue them.
同样，朝鲜多年来的双边请求，如撤销《敌国贸易法》背景下对朝鲜的敌国设定，一经提出即被当作无关紧要的条件而抛诸脑后。这样的条件在谈判桌上落满了灰尘，但置之不理却完全是朝鲜自己的决策。
