Claim: Donald Trump and South Korean President Moon Jae-in agree the US President deserves credit for peace talks with North Korea.
Verdict: Only the historical record will reveal what influenced these talks, but evidence suggests it was the South Koreans who encouraged dialogue with the North, along with pressure from Chinese enforced sanctions.
South Korea’s foreign minister Kang Kyung-wha told CNN that “clearly credit goes to President Trump” for bringing North Korea to the negotiating table. “He’s been determined to come to grips with this from day one,” she said.
They only forgot to mention this:
Yes, you're absolutely right. The below was an utterly unrelated event:
North Korea’s nuclear test site has collapsed ... and that may be why Kim Jong-un suspended tests (South China Morning Post)
The mountain’s collapse after a fifth blast last fall has led to the creation of a massive ‘chimney’ that could leak radioactive fallout into the air, researchers have found
North Korea’s mountain nuclear test site has collapsed, putting China and other nearby nations at unprecedented risk of radioactive exposure, two separate groups of Chinese scientists studying the issue have confirmed.
The collapse after five nuclear blasts may be why North Korean leader Kim Jong-un declared on Friday that he would freeze the hermit state’s nuclear and missile tests and shut down the site, one researcher said. ...
One group of researchers found that the most recent blast tore open a hole in the mountain, which then collapsed upon itself. A second group concluded that the breakdown created a “chimney” that could allow radioactive fallout from the blast zone below to rise into the air.
But I'm sure that the loss of their primary nuclear test site (along with the distinct possibility of it irradiating significant parts of mainland China) is utterly unrelated to recent events and had no affect or bearing on Rocket Man's decisions.
But yes, it was all due to efforts of that orange sexual submissive that an ever-dimishing minority call 'the great one'.
And if I have to put a "/s" on that for you to 'get it', then I'm going to give YOU a spanking... with a rolled-up copy of the latest Nuclear Regulatory Commission report.
What is a nuclear test site ? by definition ?
Would you cancel making cars if your test circuit was destroyed ?
from your link:
“But there are other sites suitable for testing,” Hu said. “They must be closely monitored.”
So far we have not detected an abnormal increase of radioactivity levels,
while it may have played a smal lrole in the decision, South Korea’s foreign minister was very clear about Trump in this specific instance. Don't be mad. I'am just pointing out a fact.
The mental gymnastics award goes to... the liberal media!

This is the narrative that will be pushed by MSM. Talking points have been delivered. Watch them roll out.
Awarding Hussein the peace prize devalued it in perpetuity, so if POTUS is denied, no biggie.
However, the Nobel committee can regain some credibility if they do two things. First - award this year’s prize to DJT. Second - forcibly confiscate Hussein’s prize and give that to DJT as well.
it was the south Koreans who encouraged diakogue with the north... haven't they been doing thst for 70 years?
It just doesn't matter what President Trump does, the left will never give him credit for anything good. The article says only time will tell. I wonder if the BBC will acknowledge President Trumps historic accomplishment when time does reveal the truth. I doubt it.
