On April 29th, 2018 National security adviser John Bolton, when asked in an interview what he envisioned when moving ahead with North Korea talks, stated “We have very much in mind the Libya model from 2003, 2004. There are obviously differences. The Libyan program was much smaller, but that was basically the agreement that we made.” On May 17th, US President Donald Trump states in a press conference "The Libyan model isn't a model that we have at all when we're thinking of North Korea. The model, if you look at that model with Gaddafi, that was a total decimation. We went in there to beat him. Now that model would take place if we don't make a deal, most likely. But if we make a deal, I think Kim Jong-un is going to be very, very happy," On May 21st US Vice President Mike Pence states in an interview “There was some talk about the Libyan model last week, and you know, as the President made clear, this will only end like the Libyan model ended if Kim Jong-un doesn’t make a deal” to "dismantle his nuclear weapons program."
