SEOUL/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - North Korea’s Kim Jong Un has given his first time line for denuclearization, aiming for the end of U.S. President Donald Trump’s first term, Seoul officials said on Thursday, prompting thanks from Trump who said they would “get it done together”.

Kim and South Korean President Moon Jae-in will also meet in Pyongyang on Sept. 18-20 for a third summit and discuss “practical measures” toward denuclearization, Moon’s national security adviser, Chung Eui-yong, said a day after meeting Kim.

The summit could provide renewed momentum to talks over denuclearization between North Korea and the United States, after Trump canceled a visit to Pyongyang by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo last month citing lack of progress.

Kim told South Korean officials his faith in Trump was “unchanged” and that he wanted denuclearization and an end to hostile relations with the United States before Trump’s first term in office ends in early 2021, Chung said.

“He particularly emphasized that he has never said anything negative about President Trump,” Chung said.

Trump welcomed Kim’s remarks in a trademark Tweet.

“Kim Jong Un of North Korea proclaims ‘unwavering faith in President Trump.’ Thank you to Chairman Kim. We will get it done together!” Trump wrote.

Is there ANYBODY in the MSM who can say the same? Honestly?

Last week, Trump says “What gives?”. Less than a week later, Kim gives.

Brennan’s blood pressure just spiked. Hope he has a massive coronary. That leaves him hooked to respirators for the remainder of, say, 20 years.

Has he forgotten his "dotard" remark?

That racist Trump. Now he’s making Kim denuclearize. Next he’ll be serving him a fortune cookie after his meal. Why can’t little yellow men have nukes, too? Racism! Racism!/s

I think a Brennan funeral might be an interesting sequel to the McCain festivities. Still, Brennan had a lower public profile than McCain, so there may not be so much the networks could do to make it into a circus.

Well that’s it for whichever fool they were planning to run against President Trump in 2020. How can they not award him the Nobel Peace Prize now? He might have to share it with Kim and Moon, but so what?
