North Vietnam’s peace terms hint at negotiations
North Vietnam Premier Pham Van Dong issued terms that soften earlier positions yet conflict with President Johnson’s demands for a final settlement. The proposals call for recognition of Vietnam’s unity, end of attacks on the north, and U S troop withdrawal from the south, while viewing the division as temporary and South Vietnam’s internal affairs as to be settled without foreign troops. The commentary notes the terms could mark the start of talks and reflect the new US air offensive across the border, with hopes those pressures might lead to a broader peace.
