BREAKING: President Trump tells me South Korea will make a major announcement at 7pm
— Trey Yingst (@TreyYingst) March 8, 2018

By way of background, a South Korean delegation is in Washington to discuss how to proceed on North Korea, State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauer said Thursday. The visit comes days after South Korean President Moon Jae In sent a five-person delegation to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
Following those meetings, Seoul said Kim was prepared to meet with the United States to discuss giving up his atomic weapons programme in return for security guarantees.
A summit between the North Korean dictator and the South Korean president is set for April.

according to a foreign diplomatic source.
“Major announcement” on North Korea coming at 7p ET from White House briefing room.

@jonkarl
I ran into the President (and VP) in colonnade. I asked him if the South Korea announcement is about negotiations.
"It's almost beyond that," he told me. "Hopefully, you will give me credit."

So mano-a-mano sometime before May... location undetermined 2 B announced.

We have no idea what the 'conditions' of NK nuclear disarmament will be.
My fondest hope
is that NK does not reveal them till Trump gets to the microphone across the table. hahaha...

He's already agreed to meet.
(Would he have done that w/o knowing/setting 'pre-conditions'???)
Beuller? Beuller???

It doesn't get any better than that.

Speaking to reporters at the White House, South Korean envoy Chung Eui-Yong said that Trump has accepted to meet Kim Jong Un, by some time in May, in what would be a historic first: no sitting American president has ever met a North Korean leader.
His full remarks below:

Chung Eui-yong made the announcement during a news conference outside the White House after meeting with Trump administration officials. Chung said the North Korean leader has expressed his "eagerness to meet with President Trump as soon as possible."

Chung had led a South Korean delegation earlier in the week on a historic trip to Pyongyang. During the trip, the envoys became the first South Korean officials to meet with Kim since he took power in 2011.
Earlier this week, the South Korean envoys announced that Kim told them he is willing to begin negotiations with the United States on abandoning nuclear weapons and that he would suspend all nuclear and missile tests while engaged in talks.

Chung also told Trump that Kim Jong Un "said he's committed to denuclearization."

While the Trump administration greeted the offer cautiously, expressing both hope that talks can happen and skepticism at Kim’s sincerity, Trump "appreciated the briefing and said he would meet Kim Jong Un by May to achieve permanent denuclearization."

Trump's eagerness to meet is at odds with what SecState Rex Tillerson said earlier today on North Korea: "We're a long way from negotiations. We just need to be very clear-eyed and realistic about it."
Chung added that he "explained to POTUS that his leadership and his maximum pressure policy together with international solidarity brought us to this juncture."
As reported earlier, Trump had touted the announcement Thursday night to reporters at the White House before it was delivered by the South Korean official, characterizing it as "major."
"It's almost beyond that," Trump told ABC News's Jonathan Karl when asked if the announcement was about negotiations. "Hopefully, you will give me credit."

Not as great as the anxiety you must feel, not knowing whether anything will come of the talks, let alone they actually happen.

The Art of The Deal - what if Kim has read it?

[goldenequity]

Leave it to Sundance at LastRefuge/ConservativeTreehouse to come up with this analysis on N.Korea

His insights into the NAFTA 'loophole' and Lighthizer have been good
His read on the 'carrot & stick (tax plan & tariffs) strategy' have been insightful as well.

You can read this one yourself to see if you agree with his version of 'why' little Kimmy has come to the negotiating table.
It's certainly more thoughtful than the bobble head versions.

He's touching on MY turf however...

Nevertheless... it's a good read even though he's (obviously) not in my 'camp'

President Trump has tweeted his first remarks since accepting the invitation to meet with North Korean leader Kim. Trump explained the background:

"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. "

And noted confidently that:

"Great progress being made but sanctions will remain until an agreement is reached. Meeting being planned!"

I don't usually talk about Q in the open forums but he has been predicting an end to the Korean war and peaceful reunification, according to him it has to do with behind the scenes spy games, the way he tells it NK has been a CIA sock-puppet but the CIA has been deprived of control of it now.

Trump will meet with North Korea's Kim Jong Un for nuclear talks

WASHINGTON — President Trump will meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un by May for high-level talks toward a nuclear-free Korean peninsula, a South Korean official said outside the White House on Thursday.
It would be the first face-to-face meeting in history between a U.S. president and a North Korean leader.

The opening came through shuttle diplomacy by a South Korean delegation that arrived in Washington on Thursday. Trump heralded the development as a “major announcement” after speaking with the South Korean president.
"I told President Trump that in our meeting, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said he's committed to denuclearization. He pledged that North Korea will refrain from any further nuclear or missile tests," South Korean national security adviser Chung Eui-yong told reporters after meeting with Trump at the White House.
