It was announced Friday that North Korea will cease testing of nuclear missiles as part of it's threats and programs. This year, intelligence members revealed Kim Jong-Un could put a nuclear warhead on a missile that would reach the United States. Since November, however, there has been no missile testing.
President Donald Trump began his own attack on the dictator last year, referring to him as "little rocket man." When the leader seemed to indicate he would cease his activities if Trump would meet with him, the U.S. president took the bait. CIA director Mike Pompeo met with North Korea over the Easter weekend and Trump is scheduled to meet with the dictator, marking the first time any leader has done so.
As the news was breaking, Trump tweeted out an attack at former Democratic Party chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, though he incorrectly named her Wendy. Ultimately, he seemed to learn of the story and turned to take credit.
"North Korea has agreed to suspend all Nuclear Tests and close up a major test site. This is very good news for North Korea and the World - big progress! Look forward to our Summit," he tweeted.
Later Friday evening Trump also tweeted out the statement from North Korea and noted that "progress" was "being made for all."
"A message from Kim Jong Un: “North Korea will stop nuclear tests and launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles.”
Also will “Shut down a nuclear test site in the country’s Northern Side to prove the vow to suspend nuclear tests.” Progress being made for all!" he tweeted.
Trump intends to meet with Kim Jong-Un in May or June.
