South Korea’s foreign minister Kang Kyung-wha said President Donald Trump “clearly” gets the “credit” for bringing North Korea to the table for a historic peace meeting on Friday.
“Clearly, credit goes to President Trump,” Kang told CNN reporter Christiane Amanpour. “He’s been determined to come to grips with this from day one.”
On Friday, North Korean despot Kim Jong Un crossed the the Military Demarcation Line between North and South Korea for peace talks with South Korean President Moon Jae-in. The duo established a goal of peace with no nuclear arms, reports The New York Times. President Trump is set to meet Kim this summer.
“I think we’re all surprised. Obviously pleasantly surprised,” Kang said hours before the historic meeting.
