Seoul says both Koreas have agreed to hold talks on Tuesday
by Associated Press | Jan 4, 2018, 9:27 PM

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A Seoul official says both Koreas have agreed to hold their first talks in more than two years next Tuesday.

Unification Ministry spokesman Baik Tae-hyun said Friday that North Korea has accepted Seoul's offer to meet at the border village of Panmunjom that day to discuss how to cooperate on next month's Winter Olympics and how to improve overall ties.

The announcement came hours after the United States said it has agreed to delay joint military exercises with South Korea until after the Winter Olympics. The Games are to be held in the South Korean city of Pyeongchang.

The rival Koreas are seeking to improve their strained ties after a period of rising tension over the North's push to expand its nuclear and missile arsenals.

Hopefully, Trump won't call them tacky names after that meeting as he is not in the meeting.  I expect he will say something to denigrate/downplay the meeting since he/the biglyist leader of the world, is not there so it can't have any real meaning.  It will be interesting to see what he says about the meeting.  Likely, for one, he will say he didn't get the credit for the meeting.  He wants, "Thank you, Mr. President, for allowing this meeting to happen." 

This is his number one hang-up at this point:  he wants it actually said, "Thank you, Mr. President for ......"   Example:  If the sun comes up, he wants the credit for the sun coming up.  If he isn't thanked for the sun coming up, he complains no one gives him credit for the sun coming up.  He wants, "Thank you, Mr. President, for the sun coming up."  If he doesn't get a "Thank you, Mr. President for...", he lashes out and says no one gives him credit for ...  He must have postive reenforcement every day in order to get to the end of the day thinking he is the best because someone thanked him for ...  If he gets no "Thank you", the tweets the next morning will lash out at someone or numerous someones.

If one reads the story, note, the US agreed to delay military exercises with SK. That may be a point of significance. Also covered here: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-northkorea-southkorea/north-korea-agrees-to-talks-after-u-s-south-korea-military-drills-are-postponed-idUSKBN1EU06O?il=0
