WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump’s condition for meeting North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is that there be no nuclear or missile testing, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said on Sunday.

“There shouldn’t be confusion,” Mnuchin told NBC’s “Meet the Press” program, when asked about White House press secretary Sarah Sanders’ statement on Friday that there would be no meeting without concrete and verifiable actions by North Korea.

“The president has made it clear that the conditions are that there’s no nuclear testing and there’s no missiles and those will be a condition through the meeting.”

After months of escalating tensions over North Korea’s advancing nuclear and missile programs, Trump decided on Thursday to become the first sitting U.S. president to meet with North Korea’s leader.

4. Tillerson has one job and one job only -

pleasing Putin and protecting Russia from the impacts of their treachery in our country.

[bronxiteforever]

5. Yup which is why he is destroying the State Department

9. Trumps running out of staff: idiot Mnuchin is discussing foreign affairs.

I suppose SoS, Rex Tillerson, is still “sick” in Africa. No one’s home at the State Department.

10. Government of stooges

11. perfect time for Kim to agree to no nuclear testing: damage to testing site.

In October, there was a series of earthquakes at the site probably making unsafe for any more nuclear tests.


"SEOUL (Reuters) - A series of tremors and landslides near North Korea’s nuclear test base likely mean the country’s sixth and largest blast has destabilized the region, and the Punggye-ri nuclear site may not be used for much longer to test nuclear weapons, experts say."

Kim just gave Trump nothing when he agreed to stop nuclear tests, if he has to build a new site.

Trump just gave Kim time to build another site.

12. Rocketman should have no problem giving his word to Dotard.

Rocketman should have no problem giving his word to Dotard.

Everyone knows how much giving your word means when Donald does it.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

13. That doesn't sound like a high bar for Kim to clear.

What's Kim going to require from Trump? Chocolate truffles?

Why does one mad man with access to nuclear weapons meeting another mad man with nuclear weapons scare the crap out of me?

[Maxheader]

off his mouth. A while back, a poll was taken for both left and right to comment
on their biggest concerns..for the rightys it was n. korea...cheetox is just

[KPN]

15. WTF? Why is this jerk representing foreign

relations for the Executive Branch? What a cluster!
