Sunshine Policy

Honestly, the details are a bit scant at the moment.

And this policy called the Sunshine Policy started back in the late 90s.

And at first, it was very successful because both the U.S. and South Korea were able to convinced North Korea that they're very serious about clearing out all sanctions and support North Korea's economic development in exchange for total denuclearization.

But unfortunately, this policy has seen its ups and downs over the years because experts say that Its limitations come from North Korea ending up with the upper hand because South Korea's administration's approval and election success came to be swayed by the project's success or failure.

in the early 2000s, this is like Bush years or maybe, yeah, it was like Clinton-Bush years.

They had a policy called the Sunshine Policy, which was literally like, we're going to be friendly or we're going to try to open up good faith talks with North Korea, right? But it depends on the president.

If there's a conservative president or a liberal president, it kind of changes what their views

are.

Yeah, yeah.

So then during that period, there was a period where they were trying.

It was called the Sunshine Policy.

And then this president, during 16 to 19, he was also open to it.
