CNN Reporter in North Korea Left ‘Speechless’ By Nuclear Announcement: ‘Huge Win For President Trump’(full title)
In a stunning piece of breaking news on Friday evening, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un declared that he will suspend all nuclear and missile tests, according to state media.
In a statement quoted by South Korean media, the Korean Central News Agency also said a nuclear site where that last six nuclear tests were conducted would be shut down.
“From April 21, North Korea will stop nuclear tests and launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles,” the Korean Central News Agency said.
CNN’s Will Ripley, one of the few journalists who regularly reports from the repressive Hermit Kingdom, phoned in to Wolf Blitzer’s show on Friday night to cover the breaking news.
“Kim Jong Un has announced to his country and his own people that he has completed his nuclear program, and therefore there is no need to continue developing nuclear weapons,” Ripley reported.
“This is an extraordinarily significant development, and frankly a huge win for President Trump going into these discussions, this potential summit, with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un,” he continued.
Ripley quoted a North Korean official who had optimistic words about the move: “Finally Kim Jong Un has decided to open up,” the source said. “This is a new chapter for the DPRK. He has committed himself to the path of denuclearization and will now focus solely on economic growth and the national economy. Finally he has realized the best path forward is to open up the country and normalize relations.”

MAGA!!!
Speechless indeed libs...
B-but - Trumps a white guy and spews hate speech and supports the BRa and doesn’t have a Nobel Prize like Obama... how... how could he...
We knew Donald J. Trump would be the Best President since Reagan.. He’s actually the Best since Washington! Imagine what he could be accomplishing without all the haters hounding him 24/7.. The man is Amazing.. Graced by God.
Huge news. GO TRUMP GO
I like the of “frankly” as well. Synonymous with “truthfully” here, a rarity at CNN.
The Kims always said , I’ll Blow you up BLAH BLAH and the fools gave them everything they wanted until Trump showed up . Trump said ,I’ll blow you up and positioned weapons to blow them up and Bingo something happened
Believe it or not.
Plenty of time to trot out the old standard "Trump is an idiot, Trump doesn't know what he's doing, Trump is a moron, blah blah blah"...
B-but . . . Uh . . STORMY !!!!
President Xi must have told the Dear Leader last month either you make a move to denuclearize or you’re on your own.
He got the message. North Korea can’t survive without Chinese support.
So this is what led to the announcement. They don’t have a choice because if they did, they would have continued nuclear testing.
Not to worry. CNN, in it’s never ending search for the deepest pit of journalistic m*sturbation, will begin to suss out reasons for any agreement not being worth much. After all, who could out think such brainiacs as Clinton the raper or Dorkbama the Muslim eunuch quota boy?
And believe you me, journalism majors are really really smart (having never had real courses in college), and they are sure they’ll be able to find...er...make up something that’ll sell the great unwashed SJW major masses.
Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II and Obama. None have been able to achieve this in 67 years. And, a non politician shows them how it is done.
But but... Trump’s a moron, right?
The Liberal United States Media has convinced Rocket Man that the POTUS is crazier than he is, which means that when the POTUS says North Korea will fail to exist should they attack anyone he might just follow through with it.
No more capitulation from the likes of Madeline Halfbright.

RIP CNN.
