Trump: US has conceded ‘nothing’ to North Korea
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS President Donald Trump asserts that North Korea has agreed to “denuclearization” and a halt to testing while the United States had so far conceded “nothing” in return.
North Korea pledged this week to halt nuclear and missile tests as the two countries prepare for a summit between Kim Jong Un and Trump, but has not committed to giving up its nuclear weapons — which Pyongyang views as a shield against the Western overthrow of its government.
“We haven’t given up anything & they have agreed to denuclearization (so great for World), site closure, & no more testing!” Trump writes on Twitter, apparently responding to remarks made by an NBC news host.
“We are a long way from conclusion on North Korea, maybe things will work out, and maybe they won’t – only time will tell….But the work I am doing now should have been done a long time ago!”
Kim said Saturday that his country would halt testing and close a nuclear test site, which Trump hailed as “big progress.”

Sleepy Eyes Chuck Todd of Fake News NBC just stated that we have given up so much in our negotiations with North Korea, and they have given up nothing. Wow, we haven’t given up anything & they have agreed to denuclearization (so great for World), site closure, & no more testing!
