President Trump has agreed to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un for talks, an extraordinary development following months of heightened nuclear tension during which the two leaders exchanged frequent military threats and insults.
Kim has also committed to stopping nuclear and missile testing, even during joint military drills in South Korea next month, Chung Eui-yong, the South Korean national security adviser,

told reporters at the White House on Thursday night after briefing the president on his four-hour dinner meeting with Kim in Pyongyang on Monday.
Trump took to Twitter on Thursday night to laud the announcement. “Great progress being made but sanctions will remain until an agreement is reached. Meeting being planned!” he wrote.
Any meeting between Trump and Kim would be historic — there has never been a face-to-face negotiation, or even a phone call, between the sitting leaders

of North Korea and the United States. Former president Jimmy Carter met Kim’s grandfather Kim Il Sung, and former president Bill Clinton met his father, Kim Jong Il — during visits to Pyongyang after they had left office. Both Carter and Clinton also went to Pyongyang to collect Americans who had been imprisoned by the regime.
Some analysts agreed with the administration that Kim is suddenly interested in talks because the sanctions are beginning to hurt and because he is

genuinely afraid of U.S. military strikes.
But others say that he’s feeling more confident than ever. In November, Kim declared that he had “completed” his missile program and is now ready to deal with the United States — on an equal footing, nuclear state to nuclear state.

>>179730 that would be funny because the world would be fine with that. and there would be no world war cause they wouldn't attack each other. It might even be a bonding experience between the people of NK and USA.

Probably an unpopular opinion but I'm rather surprised and happy with how Trump is doing so far. This meeting is going to be historic regardless of how people feel about either leader, for sure.

I've been a fan of Trump since 2016, back then he promised he'd invite Kim to the US, I was rather let down when he seemed to turn guns towards the DPRK like every other president, but this, this is a great turn of events, finally someone will talk to the DPRK! Trump is a people's man and he's showing it.

You don't become or stay a nation's leader by being a complete dumbass. Hopefully this meeting will lead to good times for everyone.

>>182161 Well in the DPRK you become leader by beeing the son of the previous leader. Like in every monarchy this sooner or later will fail and the monarchs could be lynched by the mob or degraded to a use- and powerless boulevard zoo. While in the US it is like dumbassness is a major qualification to become president. At least this represents the dumbassness of the average population there.
