    North Korean media is notorious for fundamentally spouting off lies, but then, so is Donald Trump. And given that the signed document contains almost zero details and we have almost no idea what was said during the meeting between the two dictators, there is just as much a reason to believe that Donald Trump did make this promise.

    But, as Trump has proven time and time again since becoming President, the word of the United States should no longer be trusted - even in the presence of a signed document.

    i sure as hope this isnt true. while i hope the negotiations work out, the fact that trump will end sanctions before kim does anything or that anything is verified is disturbing. again, the manchurian president.

    north korea has engaged in state sponsered cyber war, counterfeiting us money, kidnapping foreigners, and still has thousands of batteries aimed at seoul, just to name a few.

    It would stand to reason that if Kim and his regime do comply that these sanctions would go away. So far we haven't seen a rocket launch, nuclear test or sabre rattling in Months.

    You can't expect them to sign onto something which has them giving up everything, and remaining under sanctions. It's simply expected that the sanctions are not there forever, but as a means to bring them to the table, which they seem to have done.

    And yet they have committed to nothing beyond an agreement to further communications. What has Trump gained?

    Haven't heard any threats out of them, no rocket launches, no nuke tests. It's a start.

    What did Trump lose??

    More proof the left is unhinged and is desperate to keep it's target audience operating in the blind, and in total fear.

    How?

    By having people role out hyperbole, rhetoric from discredited sources, and agenda driven opinions masked as expert analysis.

    These propaganda pieces should be limited to those sites where like minded people are found, rather than distributed into the general population, where they reveal the resistance is little more than political pap disconnected from reality.

    It's one thing for a coach to hold a pep talk with the team before taking the field, it's another to broadcast it to the entire stadium for everyone to hear.

    Respect and standing amongst allies as well as degradation of his supposed ability to negotiate.

    I explicitly start my post by noting the limitations of the source, but noting the reasons why their statements can not be dismissed.

    I think that's debatable, but lets pretend that's the rock solid truth. We see the underlying problem with Liberalism once again. Feelings. Worried about what others think of them, even when it might actually lead to a safer world for Millions/billions of people.

    Decisions need to be made, and you cannot be everyones friend all the time. Free lesson to the Prog crowd.

    You mischaracterise diplomacy or simply don't understand it while Trump kowtows to Un.

    There is no reason to buy into any part of a statement of a North Korean propaganda release. Why do you? There is no evidence that Trump will relax any sanction in advance of North Korean cooperation on "denuclearation" whatever that means.

    Non sequitur................Trump is bought and paid for by the Russians. Try again. He is a weak and controlled puppet POTUS.

    Respect and Standing among allies is a concern of feelings. It was accurate as I called it. When tough decisions have to get made, you cannot have Liberals making them. Their feelings get in the way, and nothing happens due to their concerns about how they appear to others.

    Your link filled opinion did nothing but reveal exactly what I described. More click bait for a target audience.

    That's fine, but the blanket use of that type of propaganda in the clear, is a mistake, IMO.

    Trump himself indicated some wiggle room, saying sanctions relief could come even before the “complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula” -- however that’s ultimately defined by both sides -- is verified. “I hope it’s going to be soon,” he said Tuesday at an hour-long briefing. “At a certain point, I actually look forward to taking them off.”
