North Korea has announced a denuclearization time line for the first time, set for the end of President Donald Trump’s first term in 2020. Trump has lauded the announcement and declared that the U.S. and North Korea would “get it done together.” North and South Korean Presidents will meet in the following weeks to discuss “practical measures,” according to the South Korean national security advisor. This announcement and following summit could serve as much-needed political wind in the sails of the Trump administration’s efforts to negotiate successfully with the North Korean regime, efforts that have been largely marked by failures and backsliding by North Korea.
