Trump agrees to meet with North Korea's Kim Jong Un, South Korea says
ABC and GMA via Yahoo ^ | March 8th, 2018 | JONATHAN KARL and JORDYN PHELPS,

President Donald Trump has agreed to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un by this May, South Korea's national adviser announced at the White House Thursday evening. He had briefed the president on a message from Kim earlier in the day.

The South Korean envoy said that in his recent talks with Kim, the North Korean leader had expressed an eagerness to meet with Trump as soon as possible.

He said that Kim had said he was committed to denuclearization, suspending more missile tests, and had agreed that U.S.-South Korean joint military exercises the North objects to must continue.

The dramatic disclosure came after Trump told reporters Thursday afternoon to expect a major announcement from South Korea.

That word from the president comes after a South Korean delegation met with top national security officials at the White House complex earlier in the day.

After Trump ducked into the White House briefing room to tease the announcement, ABC News' Jonathan Karl ran into Trump himself who told Karl the announcement was going to be a big deal.

“Unfortunately the losers in any “deal” will be the North Korean people”

Sad, but not our problem.

Would be a TERRIBLE mistake for him to agree to meet. He should agree to meet AFTER KIM HAS DISARMED and DESTROYED the nukes ... otherwise he’s walking into the same trap Clinton fell into. He’ll have to “give” something to make it happen. No, this should not be negotiable. Stop the nukes, then talk.

NO .. “not until a deal is reached” ...NOTHING should be given to them even AFTER they have totally disarmed. You’re setting up the premise that Kim can get something if he does this. He is the aggressor.

Trump is colluding with North Korea to get reelected in 2020.

There are no preconditions, as Trump insisted.

Other than a commitment to nuclear disarmament.

This is a good thing. And progress.

Yeah, it may not pan out, but Norklandia now knows if it does not they will cease to exist.

Given the fact that NORK is a client state of China (despite their denials) is it just co-incidental that on the day President Trump announced 25% tariff on steel imports, NORK agrees to de-nuclearize and sit down with Grump to discuss normalization of ties with South Korea?

I hope. By the end of Trumps first term he’s going to make those two losers look like the biggest turkeys going.

I am watching CNN. Gov. Bill Richardson is making some supportive comments.

The other talking heads are stunned how they (media) and our State Dept. were not advised before this was announced.(how dare they!!) Not done in typical diplomatic fashion so doomed to fail yada yada..
