The North Korean state media made a historic announcement Friday evening that Kim Jong-un and the Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea would be suspending its nuclear missile and long range missile testing. In addition they will also be closing down their nuclear test site. The announcement comes ahead of President Trump’s meeting with Kim Jong-un, a potbellied dictator he once nicknamed “Rocketman,”  in May. By all accounts, President Trump has been the driving force behind North Korea’s sudden change in their  willingness to stop their nuclear weapon program.

Now, Rep. Luke Messer (R-IN) is calling for President Trump to be awarded the Nobel Peace prize if North Korea decides to disarm all together. 

“If North Korea disarms, President Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize,” Messer said in a statement released Saturday morning.

“President Trump’s peace through strength strategy is making America safer and delivering results. This is more progress in North Korea than we saw during the entire Obama administration, and it’s a direct result of President Trump’s strong leadership on the world stage,” he added.
