Moon, Trump see possibility for US-DPRK dialogue

Trump claimed in his bellicose tweets that he had said, "I'd probably have a good relationship." not "I probably have." and Sanders released an audio file claiming to prove the point.

Seoul followed up North Korea's good gestures.

He also authorized the detonation of North Korea's most powerful nuclear device to date. South Korea asked its neighbour to halt hostile acts that stoke tension on the peninsula, and in return, the North agreed that peace should be guaranteed in the region, the South's unification ministry said in a separate statement.

"I wonder sometimes if he really believes it when he says, 'I can destroy the United States, ' because anybody who tells [him] something he doesn't want to hear seems to get killed", the former secretary of state added, explaining that threats of murder were "a real disincentive to tell him the truth". "That is the biggest problem".

In December 2015, she abruptly canceled a performance in Beijing just four hours before it was to start and flew back to North Korea. "That is where we are working it", Mattis said Monday on his way to Vancouver, while cautioning that military options remain. "It's either now or never". With Choe now under South Korea's financial sanctions list, it's unclear whether the 67-year-old would be allowed to travel to the Olympics, where he'd be able to mingle with senior foreign officials such as U.S. Vice President Mike Pence.

"The United States should know that the button for nuclear weapons is on my table", he said, according to an Associated Press translation. British Prime Minister Clement Attlee flew to Washington to express his country's and Europe's concerns.

Somehow, this is the America we now live in, where a awful businessman and equally sad reality TV celebrity is now president and, better than any one bad policy or opinion, is infamous for being among the biggest trolls and bullies on Twitter. And I think the same thing can happen with today's meeting.

Iheanacho double sees Leicester past Fleetwood
West Ham needed a goal late in extra-time from Reece Burke to clinch a 1-0 win over third tier Shrewsbury at the London Stadium. Iheanacho broke the deadlock for Leicester two minutes from half-time when he connected on a Islam Slimani flick-on.

"Keeping Pyongyang afloat is an important task", Gabuev said.

'They are not suicidal.

The fact he remains out of touch with how the rest of the world is thinking regarding his threats to blow North Korea out of existence is just as frightening as the threat of missiles blowing Hawaii out of the water. Regardless of Trump's actual words, the White House left the impression in the media for days that talks with the North Korean leader could be imminent.

"The military has preparations under way, and hopefully they will not be needed". The Journal quoted Trump as then saying, "I probably have a good relationship with Kim Jong Un".

While North Korea and South Korea have plans to work on their relationship ahead of the upcoming Winter Olympics, Trump is poking his unhinged counterpart on the other side of the world. "Fortunately we now record conversations with reporters", he tweeted. "They understand that, and they are a bit bewildered that others don't understand that". Moreover, Trump's ultimatum last week to the European powers to join the United States in rewriting the nuclear deal struck in 2015 with Iran only serves to confirm to North Korea that it can have no confidence in any agreement struck with Washington. "But Northeast Asia is a much denser region - denser in population, denser in power - so the consequences will be even greater".

It also released the portion of the audio disputed by the White House.
