of the problem is of course that north korea keeps talking about the denuclearization of the korean peninsula which is what doing that the united states has avoided in any discussions that they've ever had with north korea because they believe that means that the north koreans want to see all american troops leave south korea and as much as donald trump talks and rails about having foreign troops in foreign soil it's unlikely they would do that but they thought things well have happening that they were moving because after the talks fell apart in february where that historic moment in june after the g. 7 in japan where don't trump flew to korea he was there on the demilitarized zone they area that marks the border between north and south korea and stepped over and shook hands with north korea's leader and that was the 1st time in a sitting u.s. president had actually gone to north korea and they talked about restarting talks and we thought with this initiative that may well lead to something and there is also hope because john bolton got fired no he was the national security advisor the north
