Kim Jong-un accepts Trump's US visit offer, says state media

Source: The Guardian

Kim Jong-un has accepted Donald Trump’s offer of a visit to the White House, North Korea’s state new agency has reported, with the regime leader extending a similar invitation to the US president.

The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported on Wednesday: “Kim Jong-un invited Trump to visit Pyongyang at a convenient time and Trump invited Kim Jong-un to visit the US.

“The two top leaders gladly accepted each other’s invitation, convinced that it would serve as another important occasion for improved DPRK-US relations.”

During Tuesday’s historic summit, Kim said it was “urgent” for North Korea and the US to halt “irritating and hostile military actions against each other”, KCNA said on Wednesday.

Where along the trail would be a good spot for a bunch of murderers and grifters? Appalachin, NY has reached a lifetime limit....gotta be somewhere else.
Maybe we could get them in one spot and dt could redeem himself by letting Seal team 6, or 7 on in there and run an "old number 2" on the bandits. The world rejoices. Putin, Erdo(whatever his name is), Duerte, Kim and the Italian guy, Any others we can scrape up....make a clean sweep. (See me brooming' the air)

This is a political Al Capone-Charles Manson he's cozying up to
