Yes and no. They are not necessarily wrong, on face value anyway. I think it is supposed to be a 'good faith' offering to wet NK's appetite for further negotiations.

Will it work? Yes. NK likes to get gifts, especially since they have never really felt beholden to any of the gift givers in the past. But if all they have to do is have more meetings where they get more gifts, then I'm pretty sure they will be onboard for that too. And I suspect that before this is over, NK will get a LOT more gifts. This admin and the GOP in general need the publicity of appearing like they are doing something. That may be even more valuable to them that any actual accomplishments.
