Trump agrees to meet with North Korea's Kim Jong Un, South Korea says
ABC and GMA via Yahoo ^ | March 8th, 2018 | JONATHAN KARL and JORDYN PHELPS,

President Donald Trump has agreed to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un by this May, South Korea's national adviser announced at the White House Thursday evening. He had briefed the president on a message from Kim earlier in the day.

The South Korean envoy said that in his recent talks with Kim, the North Korean leader had expressed an eagerness to meet with Trump as soon as possible.

He said that Kim had said he was committed to denuclearization, suspending more missile tests, and had agreed that U.S.-South Korean joint military exercises the North objects to must continue.

The dramatic disclosure came after Trump told reporters Thursday afternoon to expect a major announcement from South Korea.

That word from the president comes after a South Korean delegation met with top national security officials at the White House complex earlier in the day.

After Trump ducked into the White House briefing room to tease the announcement, ABC News' Jonathan Karl ran into Trump himself who told Karl the announcement was going to be a big deal.

"Whatever comes of it, this is a big deal."

NO, it is a potential "big deal" that will matter if and only if there are serious long-term verifiable results, i.e., no nukes and no long range missiles in NK.

Until then, it is a hopeful sign that POTUS Trump is on the right track, but there is no "big deal" until there truly is a "BIG DEAL" that is enforceable and verifiable.

Kindly keep in mind that we have been played as yo-yos by North Korean leaders for decades. Carter, Clinton, GW Bush, Obozo....... Trump is different, of course, but it is absurd to count our chickens before a real deal is done, enforced, and verified. There are many ways NK can still derail this or try to evade.

Kim Jongun will give up all of his nukes if Trump will give him Stormy Daniels

“This is the WORST possible news for many in the swamp infested U.S. government (i.e. State Department) and most if not to ALL a-hole libtards. A similar crushing defeat was when the Soviet Union and Iron Curtain fell. This is who we are against: the bigger enemy will always be the American hating loathsome liberal.”

Yup.

Think about how this could be played out. Kim comes to U.S. for visit and we pick his brain about where he sees his Nation in 10 or 20 years. We put a team together to make it happen. All disciplines to substantially improve the quality of life in NK. Kim gets all the credit. American corporations commit to building factories and infrastructure to help improve their way of life.

You must be looking in the mirror and describing yourself, he predicted it days ago and it was no surprise to me and many others

I know, you were too busy watching the MSM to get your talking points

Trump is different? You got that part right. And all those above you mentioned were puppets, corrupt insiders and or entrenched globalist. Trump didn't come from their world. He didn't belong their private government insiders club.

I’m just wondering if the Chicoms have quietly told FatBoy they don’t have his back anymore?
Without China propping up his dad this would have been over a generation ago.

“the North Korean leader had expressed an eagerness to meet with Trump as soon as possible.””

And that’s how they are going to get to Trump.

Trump should invite them to Iceland just to remind the libtards who they are.
