CNN: Trump tells Seoul he's open to talks with North Korea
Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump expressed openness to holding talks between the United States and North Korea during a call with South Korean President Moon Jae-in on Wednesday, the latest of Trump's forays into inter-Korean relations.
The call comes a day after representatives from North and South Korea held day-long negotiations in the demilitarized zone, where Pyongyang agreed to send a delegation to next month's Winter Olympics and to hold talks with Seoul to ease military tensions.
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement that Moon briefed Trump on the "outcomes of the discussions between North and South Korea" and Moon "thanked President Trump for his influential leadership in making the talks possible."

WNU Editor: The source for this discussion is coming from the South Korean President's office. Just an impression .... but it looks like South Korean President Moon Jae-in is realizing the fact that North Korea may show up at the Olympics, but on the big issues .... nuclear weapons, missiles, etc.. .... the North is not interested in dealing with him. Bottom line .... the North Koreans want to only deal with President Trump.
