On Sept. 19, U.S. President Donald Trump revealed his strong interest in the Pyeongyang Joint Declaration of September 2018, wherein the two Korean leaders agreed to denuclearization measures for the first time.
President Moon Jae-in and his North Korean counterpart Kim Jong Un announced the September Pyeongyang Joint Declaration earlier that day on the second day of their three-day Inter-Korean Summit Pyeongyang.
After the announcement of the joint declaration, President Trump said on his personal Twitter feed that, “Kim Jong Un has agreed to allow Nuclear inspections, subject to final negotiations, and to permanently dismantle a test site and launch pad in the presence of international experts.”
The U.S. leader also said that, “Hero remains to continue being returned home to the United States.” He also said, “Very exciting!” about the two Koreas’ plans to file a joint bid to host the 2032 Olympics.
The U.S. Department of State also said the previous day that meaningful progress could be made on denuclearization through this latest inter-Korean summit.
U.S. Department of State spokesperson Heather Ann Nauert said on Sept. 18 during a regular press briefing that, “We hope to see meaningful, verifiable steps toward the denuclearization of North Korea.”
Mentioning that this is now the third meeting between the two Korean leaders, spokesperson Nauert said, “It represents, in our view, a historic opportunity for Chairman Kim to follow through on the commitments that he made to President Trump at the Singapore summit.”
“We think that there is progress being made when the South Koreans are sitting down with North Korea, when the United States has the opportunity to sit down with North Korea.”
Nauert added that, “We will continue to consult very closely, carefully and regularly with the South Koreans as they continue to have their meetings in North Korea.”
