President Trump kept the diplomacy door open with North Korea on Friday, welcoming the regime's latest “productive” statement and saying the two sides are still talking following the administration’s decision to cancel a planned summit with Kim Jong Un.
Trump nixed the summit, which was slated for June 12 in Singapore, following threats from North Korea. But hours after the U.S. pulled out of the meeting, North Korea issued a statement suggesting the regime was open to talks.
“Very good news to receive the warm and productive statement from North Korea. We will soon see where it will lead, hopefully to long and enduring prosperity and peace. Only time (and talent) will tell!” Trump tweeted on Friday morning.
The official also said that Trump’s move to call off the summit highlighted the tensions between the two countries, further emphasizing the need for a meeting. The official added that Kim had been preparing for the summit.
“Despite all of this, the U.S.’ unilateral decision to scrap the talks causes us to reconsider whether all of the efforts and the path we have taken is really the right one or not,” the official said, according to Yonhap. “Our commitment to doing our best for the sake of peace and stability for the world and the Korean Peninsula remains unchanged, and we are open-minded in giving time and opportunity to the U.S.”
But on Friday, with the door left open for potential U.S.-North Korea talks, Trump suggested it was the Democrats who were against “negotiations” with the rogue regime.
“Democrats are so obviously rooting against us in our negotiations with North Korea. Just like they are coming to the defense of MS 13 thugs, saying that they are individuals & must be nurtured,

Satan is the Democrat mascot. Tammany Hall never died.
Translation: Kim has decided to purge his entire officer corps and needs more time before the summit to complete the purge, wherein he will gladly sign anything that legitimizes his position and country and guarantees he will be a billionaire.
As I see it,
1) Fat Kim does not have many cards to play. He is being squeezed militarily and economically.
2) His nuclear disaster affected neighboring China and he had no choice but to destroy the site ( of course he wanted to make a big show of it ). The Chinese are pissed.
3) He is paranoid about a coup if he leaves his country physically. Hence, he has to arrange to have in place, people whose loyalty to him are absolute if he leaves for a few days.
They were pegged as spies so they were kept out of the loop.
Turns out they are spies.
Oops wrong thread.
Yep, them Democrats are committing self-destruction with every passing day. It is actually unbelievable as to the false bubble these idiots are living in. One faux pas after another...it never ends...it is the political gift that never stops coming.
Obama, Clinton, Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, Brennan, Clapper, Comey etc., all fools , has-beens, failures, criminals and America haters...all!!!
The two latest laughers, The Texas Democrat Primary run-offs, the lowest voter turnout in Texas history, leading to a progressive, liberal, ultra left-wing lesbian running for Governor against Greg Abbott and an African-American, progressive, liberal, ultra left wing, woman running for Governor in Georgia. Come on...ya gotta be kidding me!!!
Well...Texas goes deep “RED” and Georgia goes deep “RED”!!! Game over, folks. The Democrat Blue Wave has gone from “Blue Wave” to Blue Trickle and, now, to “Blue Drip”!!!
From a political standpoint this is absolutely a terrific move. Use the democrats unhinged anger at Trump to portray them as roooting against anything good and rooting for everything bad.
I just remembered Rush playing a clip of FDR during WWII. FDR did exactly the same thing as Trump, blaming the Republicans for obstructing the American war effort.
As I recall the demonrats were very much against the meeting when first announced.....Trump was out of his league...not smart enough...yadayadayada.....so now that he cancels it they have their panties in a wad again....that he is pushing the world to nuclear war....one must be certifiably insane to be a demonrat....
