>SEOUL, South Korea North Koreas leader, Kim Jong-un, told President Moon Jae-in of South Korea when they met that he would abandon his nuclear weapons if the United States would agree to formally end the Korean War and promise that it would not invade his country, a South Korean government spokesman said Sunday.
In a faith-building gesture ahead of a summit meeting with President Trump, Mr. Kim also said he would invite experts and journalists from South Korea and the United States to watch the shutdown next month of his countrys only known underground nuclear test site.
The comments by Mr. Kim were made on Friday when the leaders of the two Koreas met at Panmunjom, a village on their shared border, the spokesman, Yoon Young-chan, said on Sunday, providing additional details of the meeting.
I know the Americans are inherently disposed against us, but when they talk with us, they will see that I am not the kind of person who would shoot nuclear weapons to the south, over the Pacific or at the United States, Mr. Kim told Mr. Moon, according to Mr. Yoons account of the meeting.

The us back the USS Pueblo that you have!
Might need to start with 'solar' lawn lights first...
Sounds like a pretty good deal as long as we can verify he gave them up. This deal has two pluses. He gives up weapons and by agreeing not to invade them, we escape having to feed them.
Sure, just open the borders and let the NK people see what’s on the other side.
They’ll do the rest
He has no choice but to join the 21st century.
With these statements, at the very least he will box himself in by not following through and making it that much easier to sanction them even more. He can, however also use these statements to try and isolate Trump and weakened the maximum pressure campaign. Say what you want but the status quo is over
It will become moot when the North Korean people discover freedom and prosperity.
Plant story...fake news
They will see that I am not the kind of person who would shoot nuclear weapons to the south, over the Pacific or at the United States, Mr. Kim told Mr. Moon, according to Mr. Yoons account of the meeting.

Why? It's been in the (not so) Invisible Hand's best interests to keep our troops in the middle of that peninsula. President Trump is not of their ilk. I just pray that he's cleaning house and will stop listening to those around him who drank the globalist swamp water.
It’ll be interesting to see if Trump can get some of the Japanese prisoners back as a show of good faith
Why would he worry about an invasion unless he is planning on starting something?
Their mountain cave-in has set them back considerably, so they need something new and dramatic in order to play for more time to rebuild, perhaps even a couple of decades.
that’s probably why they’re pulling, this time.
North Korea isn’t the only Kim it’s also a Cadre of generals.
who really thinks if young Kim completely discarded their nuclear program that he could survive a coup from the generals..?
More bullcrap.
He cannot be trusted.
Neither can anyone in the Kim Dynastyunbroken for 70 years and spillers
of millions of gallons of American soldiers blood notably 1950-1953.
Signing ANY document, including a peace treaty, means NOTHING to them.
The US vital interest here is preventing North Korea from having the capability of nuking us. Secondary but still important interests include preventing them from invading the south or nuking anyone else. We need to resist the inevitable Neocon claim that we have a vital interest in removing Rocket Man from power. We dont
Hey Kim,
First, YOU promise no aggression against your neighbors.
Wait, wait, wait! This is from the NYT. Didn't they tell us it was President Trump doing the threatening last year?
The Norks may not have any choice. Without out side assistance into N K the gov’t can not provide even subsistence to the people. Sooner or later someone will have to do something about that aND Kim will be target one.
Ive read accounts from NK escapees who said that nearly everyone in the country knows whats really going on outside their borders. Nearly every one of them knows that the country is starving while even China is abounding with prosperity. Even the idiot generals with their oversized general officer hats know this. This means that those in power surrounding little Fat Man are as suspectible, as the Iraqi generals were in 2003, to being turned by the CIA. Eventually, one of them would have put a bullet into the head of little Fat Man.
China told him this too. That if he was assassinated, they would merely shrug and send their own troops in to restore order, and maybe take over the country.
So little Fat Man had no choice.
The good news is that our leadership, including John Bolton, will never any denuclearization treaty proceed with airtight verification procedures. Unlike the weenies like Tommy Vietor in the Obama Administration. South Koreans and Europeans will be all over the country during the process. The truth about the outside world will spread like wildfire and will be unstoppable.
The end result? NK will open up. They will, within 5-10 years, overthrow little Fat Man, either peacefully or violently. The Koreas will probably reunify then.
The parallels with East Germany are eerie but true.
