South Korean official: North Koreans 'want a Trump Tower, McDonald's' - Business Insider
David Choi reported this on the Business Insider website:
"During a dinner that followed the historic summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in, North Korean officials indicated the regime wants to modernize its economy, in order to become 'a normal country,' according to a South Korean official who attended the event.
'They want to be a normal country, a normal state to be recognized by the United States,' Chung-in Moon, a special adviser to President Moon, said during a CNN International interview on Friday.
'They want American investment coming to North Korea,' he said. 'They welcome American sponsors and multilateral consortiums coming into North Korea.'
Chung-in referenced Trump Tower and McDonald's as examples of what one might consider to be 'modern' for North Korea."
