Media Headline Quiz: DPRK and ROK peace talks
["other","Korean Peninsula"]
Share
Copied
Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) leader Kim Jong Un spent 2017 arguing back and forth with US President Donald Trump, suggesting that 2018 was going to finally be the year when "the little rocket man" and "the mentally deranged US dotard" would finally take their mutual hatred to a higher DEFCON.
But, in a surprise gesture, during his 2018 New Year’s address – which was full of barbs aimed at the US – Kim offered an olive branch to the Republic of Korea (ROK), saying he was “open to dialogue” and wanted to “create a peaceful environment” on the Korean Peninsula.
ROK president Moon Jae-in jumped at the chance and, for the first time in two years, both sides of the DMZ are in dialogue.
