The meeting between North Korea and South Korea that took place recently, where they declared the end of the Korean war, is history in the making. And it was made possible by President Trump and his administration. Shortly thereafter, North Korean and South Korean leaders released statements to the press regarding the standoff and made comments to various media outlets.
Faith Family America reported the following,
“The North agreed to move its clock forward half an hour to return to the same time zone as Seoul and Tokyo. But that wasn’t the only startling announcement to come out of the diplomatic talks. South Korea announced Sunday that the North Korean government agreed to dismantle its main nuclear test site next month. The Hermit Kingdom also said it is prepared to meet with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, according to The Washington Post.
In a more comprehensive gesture, the North announced that it would work toward the “complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.” Kim pledged to dismantle its nuclear test site at Punggye-ri, which is located in the north of the country. It has agreed to bring in international experts to witness the deconstruction.

“Some say that we are terminating facilities that are not functioning, but you will see that we have two more tunnels that are bigger than the existing ones and that they are in good condition,” Chief Press Secretary Yoon Young-chan for Moon said. Kim also said that it would bring in security experts and journalists to the North to witness the closure of one of its nuclear test sites. The West may be a little leery of this gesture, considering in 2008 when Kim offered a similar gesture, but while one site was being closed, another secretive site was being built to enrich uranium, so he could build more bombs.
However, Kim said he has made no plans to use nuclear weapons against his neighbors. “Although I am inherently resistant toward America, people will see that I am not the kind of person who fires nukes at South Korea, the Pacific or America,” Kim said during the summit, which Yoon reported on in Seoul Sunday. “Why would we keep nuclear weapons and live in a difficult condition if we often meet with Americans to build trust and they promise us to end the war and not to invade us?” Yoon quoted Kim as saying.”
After the meeting between North Korea and South Korea, President Trump spoke at a rally in Michigan this past weekend where he indicated that sometime in the next month he would likely be meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jung Un. However, he also noted that it might not happen depending on the behavior of the North Korean leader.
This event took place shortly after President Trump and South Korean President Moon Jae-In spoke earlier in the week. Jae-In updated President Trump on everything that had happened with the Summit at the demilitarized zone. During this talk, Jae-In credited President Trump for the progress that took place.
CNN reported,
“”He gives us tremendous credit,” Trump said. “He gives us all the credit.” Trump said the goal of the talks would be to “de-nuke” the Korean Peninsula and acknowledged the situation was difficult to predict. “I’m not going to give you what’s going to actually happen because we don’t really know,” Trump said.
Meanwhile, in an exclusive interview with ABC News’ Jonathan Karl, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Kim indicated he was “prepared” to work towards denuclearization during their meeting in Pyongyang four weeks ago. “I had a clear mission statement from President Trump. When I left Kim Jong Un understood the mission exactly as I described it today,” Pompeo said in an interview that is scheduled to air on the “This Week” program Sunday in the United States.
