Doesn't matter as sTrump WILL TAKE the credit for it ..........so it is a moot point.
In your dreams. Maybe after he apologizes for being a callosal horses butt. ;-)
This NK issue is being facilitated by S Korean's leadership .......Pense probably played a part.......when he visited.

Can you believe "Rudy Giuliani"? If he actually practiced law he must be pretty out of practice. Maybe, he's a "celeb" cameo in Trump's newest Surreality TV venture.
North Korea made this decision in order to be in a position to demand that Trump make south Korea a nuclear free zone. When Trump refuses, North Korea gets a win on the world stage.

Kim Jong Un walks across border to meet South Korean president, the first time a North Korean leader has visited the South
South Korean President Moon Jae-in welcomes Kim Jong Un to a summit that Moon hopes will lay the groundwork for a meeting between the North Korean leader and President Trump and that will remove the cloud of another war from the peninsula.
The summit represents an astounding turn of events after 2017 was marked by major advances in North Korea��s nuclear and missile programs, sparking a war of words between Kim and Trump that many feared might turn into actual military action. But Trump��s ��maximum pressure�� policy of tough sanctions and tougher words, combined with Kim��s heightened nuclear-powered swagger, has created an environment for talks in which the United States and North Korea each think they have the upper hand.

WAtched this on CNN.........and quite an effective moment.......with plenty of positive optics. They plan to plant a tree using soil and water from both Koreas. Since symbolism and metaphors are imperative to their cultruws this too is a "moment.
Cautiously hopeful..
