SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea on Saturday called for the conclusion of a peace treaty with the United States and a halt to U.S. military exercises with South Korea to end its nuclear tests.

The isolated state has long sought a peace treaty with the United States, as well as an end to the exercises by South Korea and the United States, which has about 28,500 troops based in South Korea.

"Still valid are all proposals for preserving peace and stability on the peninsula and in Northeast Asia including the ones for ceasing our nuclear test and the conclusion of a peace treaty in return for U.S. halt to joint military exercises," North Korea's official KCNA news agency cited a spokesman for the country's foreign ministry as saying early on Saturday.

Asked if the United States would consider a halt to joint exercises, U.S. State Department spokesman John Kirby said it had alliance commitments to South Korea.

Rest assured, if Jong wants unification of that peninsula, the Hawaiian Islands, and all US Pacific possession, and maybe half of California, he will get it just so obama can say he gave us peace with North Korea.

And Jong will be able to keep his nukes too.

Kerry is probably over there right now with those exact proposals.

He’s looking to cash in like Iran.

Hussein will grant that wish soon I’m sure to the tune of $50 Billion at the cost of the American Middle Class.

been there, done that

We spent billions building them a reactor in exchange for halting their nuclear weapons program during the Clinton admin.

How’d that work out?

I hope he remembers to apologize for the Korean War, and give them a few billion.

And note how Yahoo news conveys NK as the victim of Western aggression: “The isolated state has long sought a peace treaty with the United States, as well as an end to the exercises by South Korea and the United States, which has about 28,500 troops based in South Korea.” That is like saying “Al Qaeda has long sought a stop to violence by Western nations.” But the MSM has served Communism well also.
