Reuters: North Korea's Kim sets denuclearization time line, prompting thanks from Trump

SEOUL/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - North Korea’s Kim Jong Un has given his first time line for denuclearization, aiming for the end of U.S. President Donald Trump’s first term, Seoul officials said on Thursday, prompting thanks from Trump who said they would “get it done together”.

Kim and South Korean President Moon Jae-in will also meet in Pyongyang on Sept. 18-20 for a third summit and discuss “practical measures” toward denuclearization, Moon’s national security adviser, Chung Eui-yong, said a day after meeting Kim.

But if they can agree to inspectors and a third party to receive this nuclear weapons for disposal by then .... and then start implementing this understanding .... I would call President Trump's policy a tremendous success
