washington examiner.
courtney cukube and michael
warren.
the first week back at the
pentagon in 2018, what do you
think was the dominant story of
the week?
>> tphoebg tphoebg, i would have
to say, hugh.
kim jong-un talked about how
crippling the sanctions have
been in this country.
he made an overture to south
korea saying he was willing to
talk to them about the olympics
specifically, about the
potential for north korea to
send a delegation to pyeongchang
which begin in a couple of
weeks.
that led to south korea
extending an invitation to north
korea to actually speak.
it's been set for january 9th.
of course there's still some
staff work that has to happen
before that actually occurs.
but it's looking promising that
there will be discussion between
north korea and south korea.
they have already also opened up
this line of communication that
has been closed several years
now.
it's just a telephone.
but i don't think most people
realize when north korea and
south korea communicate...
