Earlier he has hailed the move as "great progress", but he said sanctions would remain in place until a denuclearisation deal was reached. The North has halted missile and nuclear tests during previous talks, only to resume them when it lost patience or felt it was not getting what it demanded, analysts say. Some expressed concern the Trump regime could "fall into the North Korean trap" of granting concessions with nothing tangible in return. Later, White House spokesperson Sarah Sanders said the president would demand "concrete steps and concrete actions" from North Korea before any meeting took place. She did not specify what those steps were, nor repeat previous assertions that the meeting would take place by May. South Korean President Moon Jae-in has acknowledged there are obstacles ahead. He is managing expectations and so much can go wrong. His approval ratings took a hit during the Winter Olympics after he integrated the women's hockey team with players from the North and met a general from Pyongyang who had been accused of masterminding deadly attacks on South Koreans, though they have since rebounded. These talks are a huge gamble with a communist state which is hard to read. But if, just if, he helps pull it off, it may reduce the threat of nuclear war and he could win himself a Nobel Peace Prize. If all fails, it is back to brinkmanship. North Korea has been isolated for decades because of its pursuit of nuclear weapons, in defiance of international laws. The North has carried out six nuclear tests and has missiles that could reach the US. SOURCE: BBC News ---DECRYPTED---The deal with North Korea is very much in the making and will be, if completed, a very good one for the World. Time and place to be determined.
