South Korean National Security Adviser Chung Eui-Yong announced at the White House Thursday that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is committed to denuclearization and is planning to talk with President Donald Trump. Chung was part of the South Korean delegation that met with North Korean officials, and he said that Kim is willing to halt his nuclear program and begin talks with South Korea and the U.S. as early as May. "North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said he's committed to denuclearization," Chung said. "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, and he expressed his eagerness to meet President Trump as soon as possible." "President Trump appreciated the briefing and said he would meet Kim by May to achieve permanent denuclearization," Chung added. Chung credited Trump’s leadership for putting pressure on the North and forcing them to the negotiating table. "I would like to thank the president, the vice president and his national security team, including my close friend, General McMaster," Chung said. "I explained to President Trump that his leadership and his maximum-pressure policy together with international solidarity brought us to this juncture." The White House made a statement thanking Chung for his words and said he would meet with Kim at some point. "President Trump greatly appreciates the nice words of the South Korean delegation and President Moon," press secretary Sarah Sanders said. "He will accept the invitation to meet with Kim Jong Un at a place and time to be determined. We look forward to the denuclearization of North Korea. In the meantime, all sanctions and maximum pressure must remain." Trump tweeted Thursday night that Kim had discussed denuclearizing, not just freezing his program, and that a meeting is being planned. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 9, 2018 Chung also said South Korean President Moon Jae-In is thankful for Trump’s actions. "I expressed President Moon Jae-In’s personal gratitude for President Trump's leadership," Chung said. Chung added that Japan and other partners are also committed to denuclearization of the Korean peninsula, which Trump has said is his goal. "The Republic of Korea along with the United States, Japan, and our many partners around the world, remain fully and resolutely committed to the complete denuclearization of the Korean peninsula," Chung said. "Along with President Trump, we are optimistic about continuing a diplomatic process to test the possibility of a peaceful resolution." Chung finished by saying that they will not repeat past mistakes and, instead, will continue to exert pressure on North Korea. "The Republic of Korea, the United States, and our partners stand together in insisting that we not repeat the mistakes of the past, and that the pressure will continue until North Korea matches its words with concrete actions," Chung said. Poster Comment: This could easily fall through but, if it happens, it would be a coup for Trump in foreign policy. Only Nixon can go to China. Kim Jong Un talked about denuclearization with the South Korean Representatives, not just a freeze. Also, no missile testing by North Korea during this period of time. Great progress being made but sanctions will remain until an agreement is reached. Meeting being planned!

The announcement by South Korea:
Wonder what fire China lit under Un? The big story might just be how Trump made China act. Perhaps the steel tariffs got them thinking Trump does not bluff but will follow through. No real GOP President would attempt this.
The Donald is on the inside track. AOL.com is spinning this as: Trump's big meeting with Kim Jong Un is already being blasted as a 'huge photo op' — and worse
I think Tillerson got enough countries onboard for the sanctions. They are tougher than anything that's come before, with the Norks or anyone else. The linchpin is when we caught them with those Chinese oil tankers out at sea. The Chinese did get more cooperative since then. The Chinese are afraid of the Norks destabilizing. They're afraid we'll give nukes to the South Koreans and Japan. They don't want millions of starving refugee Stalinists pouring over their border if we make the regime collapse. They have enough trouble with the Norks already.
No real GOP President would attempt this. EXACTAMUNDO. Trump doesn't bluff; IF he is, he guards his cards like the pro he is. Dealing with sharks and snakes (which define most politicians) for decades in his business dealings have prepared him well for the realm of national/international politics. We are very fortunate, blessed indeed to have a real President like Trump at the helm at this time. Unlike the last four Globalist sock-puppet Presidents, Trump is leveraging US influence economically as well as militarily and politically in this case. While we still can. As we well know, China has been siphoning out our wealth on the back of their slave-labor. They've stolen, bribed for, or bought most or all of our R&D and technology; Militarily, they clone and copy stolen blueprints. Oh yes -- they also happen to manufacture most computers and their components.
Trump's big meeting with Kim Jong Un is already being blasted as a 'huge photo op' — and worse AOL -- as with ALL the MSM -- are FOS. They lie for breakfast lunch and dinner. 24/7. They are Commie-Dem-Anarchists who hate America, Whitey, Christians, Conservatives. They are truly seditious and treasonous, openly declared war on Trump (who is indeed representing the best interests of America.) Those who own the message -- Media owned by i.e. Soros & Co. -- need to be arrested....if not more aggressively "addressed."
They're afraid we'll give nukes to the South Koreans and Japan. They don't want millions of starving refugee Stalinists pouring over their border if we make the regime collapse. They have enough trouble with the Norks already. Makes sense. I think they still have a healthy fear of the Japanese. The distant past has made an imprint on their collective psyches.
I bet Trump doesn't bow, like Odumbass - that jugeared jackass failure mostly saw the top of his shoes when traveling overseas to placate tyrants.
HA! THAT defined the Kenyan's every visit overseas, didn't it? 0bama purposely (mis)represented America in the embarrassing manner of surrendering complete capitulation, as though he was a Geisha Girl. Here is 0bama making a spectacle of himself as everyone laughs at such self-degradation. (Frenchie especially got a kick out of 0bama's bending over, while the Saudi appears genuinely shocked):
LOL sock puppets. That about explains them.
He bends over too easily.
Not only China but the ROK too. All those starving people with no skills flooding their already crowded 21st century nation. Spoke to a ROK 3 star about this during an exercise where they had to handle a massive refugee migration from the north. This was 1997 mind you and the situation is probably worse. Initial handling of North Korean refugees will be like the challenge we had after WW2 with starving walking corpses and then trying to feed their army too.
