    "From 21 April, North Korea will stop nuclear tests and launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles," the Korean Central News Agency said.

    "It will also contribute to creating a very positive environment for the success of the upcoming South-North summit and North-United States summit," a statement from President Moon Jae-in's office said.

    If you trust rocketman who 3/4 of his countries population is starving or in prison. He and his family has to be (what's a nice word) eradicated before change in NK can happen. IMHO
    At least this time we have a President who will recognize the BS if he sees it.

    I will be watching for some backing off on the sanctions for NK. Sanctions is probably the main reason for this whole change of attitude. Let's hope Trump can pull it off....but I wouldn't trust that bugger in NK with anything !

    Hell, + the whole shootin' match. Kim Jong Un may be a maniac, but he's not stupid. He's going to capitalize on the opportunity, collect all he can, and then restart the program later after some manufactured crisis comes to light.

    You can only restart something after you've stopped it. Kim ain't stopping it...

    North Korea Is Not De-Nuclearizing

    Over the past four months, North Korea has been saying all the right things. After weeks of silence regarding his intentions for upcoming summits with South Korea and the United States, Kim Jong Un, the leader of North Korea, made a dramatic announcement on Saturday morning, pledging unilateral limits on his nuclear weapons and missile programs. Though the announcement has been widely hailed as encouraging—President Donald Trump declared it a sign of “big progress”—it does not, in fact, set up a path to denuclearization. It does, however, open the door to capping Kim’s arsenal, keeping America and its allies safer while talks are underway.

    In truth, Kim’s announcement represents an opening bid that would allow him to keep his nuclear and missile forces intact. Despite his claims, North Korea has not, by most military and technical standards, created an advanced, survivable, reliable arsenal. Suspending testing would effectively prevent the deployment of new, more efficient, or more compact warhead designs.

    But Kim’s proposed cap is only partial. He has said nothing about North Korea’s production of fissile material, which continues today at a frightening pace: The U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency has found that North Korea may be producing enough material for 12 nuclear weapons each year. In his speech, Kim made no mention of submarine-launched missiles, or of short- or medium-range missiles fired from land, which could threaten U.S. allies in the region. Furthermore, North Korea may circumvent its own limits simply by re-classifying long-range missile tests as space launches, a trick it pulled to scuttle the most recent agreement back in 2012. There are signs of ongoing work on a satellite launcher based on its most advanced ICBM, the Hwasong-15. In short, even if North Korea adheres to the commitments it just set out, it could still produce and test more warheads and missiles...
