denuclearization-peninsula-after-historic-meeting.html
In a dramatic early Friday announcement, North and South Korean leaders
agreed to a framework that could finally bring peace to the peninsula and
potentially end decades of tension between the Hermit Kingdom and the
global community.
The joint announcement that both sides will work toward a "nuclear-free
Korean Peninsula" and try to officially end the Korean War came after a
historic meeting between South Korean President Moon Jae-in and North
Korea’s Kim Jong Un -- who, fewer than four months ago, threatened the
United States with nuclear weapons.
But the same Kim Jong Un who declared in a stark New Year's address that a
nuclear launch button is "always on my table" continued his recent -- and
surprising -- push for peace during his meeting with Moon.
While it was not immediately clear what concrete steps the countries would
take to achieve the lofty goals set forth Friday, both nations agreed to
hold further high-level talks and other negotiations, including a push for
joint talks with the U.S. and also potentially China.
The Koreas, which have technically remained at war since the 1950-1953
Korean War was only stopped via an armistice, have agreed to stop all
hostile acts over "land, sea and air" that can cause military tensions and
clashes.
The two leaders announced that starting May 1, all loudspeaker propaganda
broadcasts that have been blaring at each other across their heavily-armed
border will be suspended. They will also dismantle broadcasting equipment
and stop flying propaganda leaflets across their border.
Earlier Friday, Kim told Moon that he feels like he’s “firing a flare at
the starting line in the moment of [the two Koreas], writing a new history
in North-South relations, peace and prosperity.”
Kim also promised Moon he "won't interrupt" his "early morning sleep
anymore," a somewhat joking reference to North Korea's troubling
intercontinental ballistic missile tests, South Korea said.
It was the first time a member of the Kim dynasty was known to set foot on
South Korean soil since 1953. The two men shook hands and smiled for news
cameras.
Kim and Moon planted a pine tree together as a symbol of peace before
resuming their second meeting of the summit. They also unveiled a stone
plaque placed next to the tree that was engraved with a message saying
"Peace and Prosperity Are Planted."
The summit has drawn measured responses from around the world.
"After a furious year of missile launches and Nuclear testing, a historic
meeting between North and South Korea is now taking place. Good things are
happening, but only time will tell!" tweeted President Trump, whose own
fiery rhetoric and aggressive posture are credited by some analysts with
helping to bring North Korea to the bargaining table.
British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said he welcomes the summit but
doesn't expect any major breakthroughs.
"I am very encouraged by what's happening," Johnson told reporters Friday.
"I don't think that anybody looking at the history of North Korea's plans
to develop a nuclear weapon would want to be over-optimistic at this
point."
China has welcomed the summit, saying it applauds the countries' leaders
for taking a "historic step" toward peace.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.
Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.
ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.
Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.
Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
