South Korean President: Trump Deserves 'Big Credit' For Talks With North Korea

Remember when the Left lost their collective ever-loving mind over President Donald Trump's tweets concerning North Korea? We were on the brink of nuclear war because of the posts, we were told.

Yeah, that's not exactly the case — at all.

In fact, South Korean President Moon Jae-in publicly offered Trump "big credit" on Wednesday for initiating the first talks between South and North Korea in more than two years, reports Reuters.

The inter-Korean talks were held on Tuesday, for the first time since December of 2015. Seoul and Pyongyang agreed "to resolve all problems between them through dialogue and also to revive military consultations so that accidental conflict could be averted," notes Reuters
North Korea agreed to send a delegation to the Winter Olympics set to begin next month in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

"I think President Trump deserves big credit for bringing about the inter-Korean talks, I want to show my gratitude," said Moon, at a conference. "It could be a resulting work of the U.S.-led sanctions and pressure."

Moon also attempted to lessen the U.S. concern over a relationship strain with South Korea due to North Korea’s willingness to talk with Seoul.

"This initial round of talks is for the improvement of relations between North and South Korea. Our task going forward is to draw North Korea to talks aimed at the denuclearization of the North," added Moon. "(It's) our basic stance that will never be given up."

President Trump has taken a hard line with North Korean despot Kim Jong Un, trading barbs with the brutal ruler and promising "fire and fury" if Kim goes too far regarding nuclear weapons and missile testing.

On January 2, Trump tweeted that his nuclear "button" is "much bigger & more powerful" than Kim's, adding, "and my Button works!"And, in true Trump-fashion, President Trump already took credit for the inter-Korean talks before Moon offered him credit.

"With all of the failed 'experts' weighing in, does anybody really believe that talks and dialogue would be going on between North and South Korea right now if I wasn’t firm, strong and willing to commit our total 'might' against the North," he wrote via Twitter.
