Diplomatic Breakthroughs with North Korea

From FCNL:

This was a week of diplomatic breakthroughs with North Korea.

• The week began with news that South Korean President Moon Jae-in and North Korean ruler Kim Jong-un had agreed to meet for a historic summit. 

• Yesterday, President Trump agreed to meet with Kim, the first time a U.S. president will have ever met with a leader of North Korea.

FCNL supports diplomatic engagement with North Korea, and we applaud President Trump, and especially President Moon Jae-in, for creating space for dialogue. In the weeks ahead, the U.S. has to reaffirm its commitment to diplomacy and approach negotiations with good faith. Congress can help by passing legislation that prevents an unconstitutional military action against North Korea. A summit alone is not a solution – but it can be a promising start.

I also applaud President Trump for agreeing to meet and talk with Kim Jong-un. He is the only US President to have done so, and it is a great idea.
