Nuclear talks between the two countries have often been characterized by poor communication and a lack of understanding. While South Korean officials rarely say in public what they really think, it is widely believed that US policymakers have little motivation to reconcile with South Korea’s government right now – they would prefer to stifle South Korea’s increasingly loud demands.
这样的僵局已经算不上新鲜事。韩美两国核谈判的特点往往是沟通不畅和缺乏了解。虽然韩国官员很少在公开场合明确自己的想法，但人们普遍认为美国的决策者目前缺乏与韩国政府和解的动力——他们宁可扼杀韩国人越来越迫切的呼吁。
