Speaking just outside the White House’s West Wing last night, South Korean National Security Advisor Chung Eui-Yong delivered news that President Donald J. Trump’s maximum pressure policy—together with international solidarity driven by American leadership—had brought the North Korea situation to an important juncture

“Today, I had the privilege of briefing President Trump on my recent visit to Pyongyang, North Korea,” Chung said. “In our meeting, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un said he is committed to denuclearization. Kim pledged that North Korea will refrain from any further nuclear or missile tests. He understands that the routine joint military exercises between the Republic of Korea and the United States must continue.”

Kim also expressed his eagerness to meet President Trump “as soon as possible.” The President said he would meet Kim Jong-un by May to achieve permanent denuclearization.

“Great progress being made but sanctions will remain until an agreement is reached. Meeting being planned!,” President Trump tweeted last night.

MrTrump sir I know that you will go in this meeting with Kim jung un with great caution for he may be setting you up for an assignation and the democraps probaly will have something to do with it and if an assignation is successful the democramps will distant themselves to say they had nothing to do with it along with the leftist. Of course this is just my option and options all stinks at one time or another . So Sir I hope that you will put extreme conditions on any talk such as if they fall back on any agreements that both nation come together on that we,will destroy them and make sure that China and Russia stay out of it.Again this is just my thoughts. Also my two cents worth on gun control if you put restrictions on one type of gun and it turns out to be every type of gun you have lost but only one voter mine. I

I agree with you on guns. Just the fact he brushed aside 2 amendments of our constitution is very worrisome. He used to be a democrat, sounds like 1 still on this issue. He is very strong everywhere else. I think before the midterms, he should clarify his position on our constitutional rights, especially the 2nd and 5th. I think it will hurt the republicans he endorses.
I’m sure Trump will be very security conscious in meeting with rocket man.

Don’t let the dumocrats get in your head. If they are allowed to ban a semi auto anything then that’s banning almost everything that shoots. Even a double action revolver shoots every time you pull the trigger. Why not ban big trucks and pressure cookers. Don’t forget knives too.

Can’t hurt if he takes it slowly and carefully (hardly Mr. Trump’s modos operandi) but probably a wasted, if valient, effort. I suspect that Mr. Trump will come away from the meeting convinced he is dealing with a very shrewd, very paranoid and entirely insane individual.

Bravo president Trump ! One hopes that a successful denuclearization conference with North Korea will inspire other neuclear powers to seize the opportunity for world peace . The war weary world needs some hope, some inspiration, some peace.

I want this to be sincere, I desperately want this to be sincere. I don’t want more wars, I would much rather see money spent on learning about the deep oceans and space. But, I don’t trust them, I hope they are very careful with our POTUS, we need him alive and healthy.

After years of strategic patience and spending billions of dollars we finally have a president who has a strong message and the world is listening. We no longer bow to our aggressors nor do we fund our aggressors as in the past. rumpus the best thing to happen to America in a very long time. Dems, you are losing, Elite Republicans, you can’t keep up. Your policies haven’t worked for decades except to feather your own beds. Get off your asses and support a president who knows what he is doing or he will along with the rest of real Americans leave you in the dust.

PLEASE PLEASE my Mr. Trump president be very very careful of this (so called man) in N. K. I keep thinking of the way “HE” treats his own people-____so then what could he possibly try to do to you? I would’n eat or drink anything while visiting there. We the people in American truly love you and need you to Make America Great Again !!! I will, and have been praying for you and your family’s safety.

I agree with Harold, could be a setup. Continue on with meeting only in neutral land. kim with 2 body guards & trump the same. Each one having their own recorder along with paper work. only pilots know where they will meet up, total secrecy at least until in the air. Kim can take off from N.K.. Both will; meet in undisclosed location only to fly out in undisclosed plane to be untrackable by radar for the safety of both.

Term limits is the answer. Get some true Americans in congress who are willing to face the problems and get them fixed and then get back to their jobs and let someone else sit in their seats for a couple terms. No more professional politicians

Thank God for giving us a President like President Trump. He is the Joshua of America. He is strong and courageous because he is a man of God a man after God’s own heart. Despite all out hatred by the democrats and open coup plotting against him by the media, God has emboldened and strengthened him to charge forward with full force. All his enemies are enemies of God. Can any man defeat God? Impossible! They will all destroy themselves from Hillary to Muller to the least of them in the media and Washington plotting his downfall. Just like Haman was hung in his own gallows, they too will fall in their own net.

Remember what happened in Germany and other countries where guns have been banned, people had no way of defending themselves. Look at the history. I am sure someone will go anything where our people will yell, “ban all guns.” Sure hope our leaders don’t fall for it.

Meeting place? Moscow would be my choice. (with Putin’s own security force). I don’t think Putin would dare let anything happen to President Trump. And I believe European governments would allow American air force security to accompany Air Force One all the way to Moscow.

He won’t back out, the meeting will happen and President Trump will prevail! Consider this, then tell me why you or any real American doesn’t have faith in our great president!

Actions speak louder than words and President Trump’s actions speaks volumes for the American people!
President Trump has done more for America and the American people in one year than the previous three presidents did in 24 years!

Donald Trump is my AMAZING PRESIDENT and like he promised, president for all AMERICANS! President Trump is the best president ever and the most brilliant leader in the history of the world! Make America Great Again, greater than ever before! AMERICA and AMERICANS FIRST!

Donald Trump overcame adversity never before seen in the history of an American Presidential election and no one is going to stop him!

President Trump is so right so often about so much, that it is unbelievable! He is an unstoppable genius!President Trump is so right so often about so much, that it is unbelievable! He is an unstoppable genius!Sixteen Republican challengers couldn’t stop Donald Trump, the Democrats couldn’t stop him, adversaries in his own party couldn’t stop him, the lying liberal media couldn’t stop him, the thug protesters hired by the Democrats to disrupt his rallies couldn’t stop him, crooked Hillary, despite her underhanded cheating and attempt to rig the election couldn’t stop him, so why are so many wasting their time?

Like always – Trump calls everyone’s bluff. First the Dems on Daca, now NoKo on a meeting. Just make the meeting where the world is calm. Trump will WIN again. Once done, then any further action militarily will be warranted and justified.
