Somehow Obama will get credit for this. I betcha BHO had this in the hopper for the entire eight years of his pathetic presidency.

We can't trust what that little POS says, but as long as don't enter into a STUPID agreement like 0bama did with Iran, we have a shot at making this thing a reality.

Thank GOD we don't have that Kenyan Krybaby involved in all of this. How many skids of unmarked bills do you thing he would be sending over?

The left will loose their damn minds if Trump removes Nukes from NK without firing a shot.

History shows that the the U.S. and our allies are to be cautious in dealing with the North. Only the verified actions of the North Koreans should unlock a change in our policies towards them. No amount of their words or vague promises should ever be rewarded. As Trump says "let's see what happens".
It appears that a small window has opened here and we have to be really smart in our approach going down the road.

I believe the administration has it correct by telegraphing to the North that anything less than denuclearization or going back on their promises in advance of the meeting will cause a walkout during the meeting and a likely leak-proof embargo going forward.

Rodman Didn't get it done when 0bama was in office.
I suspect Trumps's tweets had FAR more impact on the little s*head than that big s*head did.

You can't trust that little pecker-head. He changed his tune so quickly, too quickly!

Never happen. All they have agreed to is a discussion about putting an end to testing. The official line from NK is that they have functional nukes and delivery systems, and no longer need to test. What they don't say is that China is really nervous about NK A-tests, and would also like them to knock it off.

Trump's people know that disarmament is not on the table. There is speculation that NK hopes that South Korea will push for disarmament. That would make Trump more sympathetic to NK and less so to SK. Trump just wants anything kind of a deal that let him declare victory, and will likely downplay SK concerns to get it.
