SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un, has told South Korean envoys that his country is willing to begin negotiations with the United States on abandoning its nuclear weapons and that it would suspend all nuclear and missile tests while it is engaged in such talks, South Korean officials said on Tuesday.
During the envoys’ two-day visit to Pyongyang, the North’s capital, which ended on Tuesday, the two Koreas also agreed to hold a summit meeting between Mr. Kim and President Moon Jae-in of South Korea on the countries’ border in late April, Mr. Moon’s office said in a statement.
“The North Korean side clearly stated its willingness to denuclearize,” the statement said. “It made it clear that it would have no reason to keep nuclear weapons if the military threat to the North was eliminated and its security guaranteed.”
If the statement is corroborated by North Korea, it would be the first time Mr. Kim has indicated that his government is willing to discuss giving up nuclear weapons in return for security guarantees from the United States. Until now, North Korea has said its nuclear weapons were not for bargaining away.
“The North expressed its willingness to hold a heartfelt dialogue with the United States on the issues of denuclearization and normalizing relations with the United States,” the statement said. “It made it clear that while dialogue is continuing, it will not attempt any strategic provocations, such as nuclear and ballistic missile tests.”

“Hummmm? Too many North Koreans saw the standards of living in the South during the Olympics.”
If you’re thinking of the Nork cheerleaders, they may be in a mass grave right now.
I’m immediately reminded of Charlie Brown and Lucy and that football . . .

This is so much stupidity. The congresscitters have “paid off” the Norks time and again, and nothing changes. The Norks are simply going after more handouts and will never compromise their nuke program. Stop the insanity!!
They already have been given luxurious living conditions at the Kangdong Reeducation Camp.
The Young Un thinks the South will let him Rule the whole country ,LOL
“...its willingness to hold a heartfelt dialogue with the United States...”
I smell BS. Diplomacy does not work that way.
No (bigger) button no leverage!
They’ve been offering to sell us the Brooklyn Bridge for years now.
This is BS!
Chamberlain reported Hitler was willing to stop all aggression and enter into peace talks.
And that’s what we have here.
It's the old pleasure/pain principle. People will do a lot to gain pleasure (money), but they will do ANYTHING to avoid pain(losing money).
” but the elephant in the room is that their nuclear program collapsed when the test mountain imploded with their top scientists inside”
Unsubstantiated rumor that you are stating as fact.
In fact, it’s very unlikely to be true.
Nobody outside Norklandia knows who were in those tunnels, and ALL of the nuke infrastructure is elsewhere.
There is nothing that will make the North Korean dictator give up nuclear weapons. NOTHING, short of annihilation.
CNN is giving Trump praise on this, Hell has frozen over!
Collapse of cave months ago may have already put their nuclear program on hold.
Yep.
Also, didn't NK already agree to de-nuke for Clinton?
Perhaps we should send Bill Richardson in again. His nuclear deal with North Korea kept them from nuclear weapons and got Clinton many votes. Pardon my scepticism, but the North Koreans are cranking up the reactors as we speak - https://english.kyodonews.net/news/2018/03/1eb3f5d75807-n-koreas-yongbyon-nuclear-reactor-shows-signs-of-operation.html
This means he has restarted his program and hopes to have us be idiots again like, Carter, Bush I,II, Clinton and Obama. It sure worked in the past, so why not now? Hopefully, Trump is smarter than the rest of the Presidents were.
“Also, didn’t NK already agree to de-nuke for Clinton? “
but they got screwed- only $5 billion and a reactor from us!
that was sarc-...but the norks are trying to by time
for some reason- perfecting a mobile super long range ICBM?- need more testing on their SLBM’s? got a few more
Tunnels to dig under the DMZ?
Who knows- we are dealing with a megalomaniac as bad as
Pol Pot or Hitler
It’s a trap but Trump knows how to deal with traps...
