#Pence2018: Pence to meet with North Koreans

Alex Ward reports:

Vice President Mike Pence suggested he might be open to meeting with North Korean officials while he’s in South Korea for the 2018 Winter Olympics…

Such a meeting would represent a potentially major diplomatic breakthrough amid Washington’s ongoing nuclear standoff with North Korea, which has fueled fears of a cataclysmic war that could kill millions of people.

…This is somewhat of a reversal for the Trump administration. President Donald Trump time and time again has denigrated the need to talk with North Korea. 

Can you even imagine Donald Trump having a meeting with North Koreans that wouldn’t end badly after all the, ahem, “undiplomatic” tweets and childish taunts he has hurled at North Korea? One more reason to campaign for Mike Pence for President in 2018.
