2 Koreas, US-led UN Command meet again at Koreas’ border

Last Monday, military  officers from the two Koreas and the U.S.-led U.N. Command met again at the Koreas’ border village Monday to examine an ongoing effort to disarm the area. With a new deal coming about, there will no longer be armed troops in the Panmunjom village that is at the border of North and South Korea. They will only have 35 unarmed personnel from each side to guard the village. They are also planning on removing mines that were placed in the area from the Korean War. 

South Korea wants to push forward with the engagement with North Korea, however the U.S. is making them wait. The United States wants to be able to denuclearize North Korea first and foremost before anything else can occur. Once the denuclearization occurs, tensions will be low, therefore the engagements can start. I agree with the United States in the idea that South Korea should wait, but I am also glad that the Koreas are finally coming to a consensus.
