North Korea Agrees to Allow Inspectors Into Nuclear Testing Site, Pompeo Says

This article is about the relationship among the United States, North Korea, and South Korea. The Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo goes into detail about his meetings with Mr. Kim and Mr. Moon of North Korea and South Korea, respectively. He discusses his meetings with both leaders in the article, stating that the meetings were really great and a step in the right direction. He notes that it will still be a very long, drawn out process when it comes to the total denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. He believes that it can be done, however, there are many steps that need to be taken in order for it to actually happen. The biggest thing that came out of these meetings was that Mr. Kim agreed to allow inspectors into the nuclear testing site. He is doing this because he wants others to actually believe him that he says that he wants to get rid of the nuclear weapons. I believe that the United States and Korean relationship has grown stronger in the past few years, but I am still a little leery on believing that Kim Jong Un has completely gotten rid of his nuclear weapons. I believe that we are definitely making progress, but I know that North Korea has a history of promises being broken later on. Therefore, I am still excited to see what comes of these inspections, and I'm hoping the results are ones we want to hear.
