Kim Jung Un To Meet Donald Trump: Will Nuclear Warheads Go Off?

Earlier yesterday 8^th March 2018, President Donald Trump to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un by May. This acceptance comes after Kim Jung Un pledged to refrain from further nuclear tests and move toward denuclearization, according to South Korean officials. This announcement which seems a surprise to all was made by South Korean National Security Advisor Chung Eui-Yong in a short statement outside the White House. The White House Press Secretary made it clear that no detailed timetable had been set for this meeting but in the main time the two countries look forward to fruitful discussions.

Mr Chung Eui-Yong went ahead to intimate that in earlier talks with South Korea, Kim Jong Un "expressed eagerness to meet President Trump as soon as possible." It is alleged that these sentiments from Kim were conveyed by word of mouth to Trump during a briefing in the White House Oval Office on Thursday 8^th March. Also, a Senior White House Official denied the existence of an official letter from the South Korean envoy to the president as earlier purported by media reporters in the US.

Kim Jong Un is alleged to have talked of denuclearization with the South Korean Representatives and apparently said no missile testing by North Korea will take place during this period of time. With all the progress made this far, America maintains that sanctions will remain until an agreement is reached.

It is confirmed by the White House that Mr. Donald Trump has accepted Kim's invitation to meet, though some senior government officials at the White House hold that "at this point, we're not even talking about negotiations. What we're talking about is an invitation by the leader of North Korea to meet face to face with the president of the United States," and  "The president has accepted that invitation." Speaking anonymously, theses officials offered insights into why the administration would take the historic step toward meeting since Kim's regime had finally seen reason for talks in favour of world peace and security, therefore, "it made sense to accept an invite to meet with the one person who can actually make decisions"  rather than remain on the power games and "long slog of the past."
