Let’s Make a Deal? President Trump Accepted Kim Jong-Un Invitation to Meet
President Trump accepted a face to face invitation to meet with North Korean Dictator Kim Jong-Un on denuclearization. No American President has EVER met face to face with a North Korean leader- all “negotiations” have always been done through emissaries. They’ve received invitations, of course, but this will be the first time that an invitation has been accepted.
Let’s Make a Deal
“Who knows what’s going to happen? I may leave fast or we may sit down and make the greatest deal for the world.” President Trump
The stakes are high, but so is the level of hope. Kim wants his murderous regime to survive, the South wants reunification, and everyone wants Kim to stop being a snotty-nosed brat and stop launching missiles. Even Japan is hopeful, since Kim has been launching those missiles over their islands.
In the first hours after hearing that North Korea’s leader wanted to meet with me to talk denuclearization and that missile launches will end, the press was startled & amazed.They couldn’t believe it. But by the following morning the news became FAKE.They said so what, who cares!

North Korea has not conducted a Missile Test since November 28, 2017 and has promised not to do so through our meetings. I believe they will honor that commitment!

The deal with North Korea is very much in the making and will be, if completed, a very good one for the World. Time and place to be determined.

Kim Jong Un talked about denuclearization with the South Korean Representatives, not just a freeze. Also, no missile testing by North Korea during this period of time. Great progress being made but sanctions will remain until an agreement is reached. Meeting being planned!

The tough international sanctions will remain in place throughout the meeting process, which is supposed to take place sometime before May. It is those sanctions…and perhaps a little hard line tweeting from the President that has made these meetings possible. But as with anything the President does, there is a hue and cry from nearly everyone about him accepting the invitation.
Complaints about granting Pyongyang a propaganda coup are one thing. But Donald Trump is his own man, and if you haven’t figured out by now, he doesn’t play by anyone else’s rules. He is not about the give them any deal that would harm America of our allies…which makes him the best negotiator for the job.
