Just heard the news on Fox, the actual cable news channel. Trump knows how to negotiate a deal and it starts with getting something.
Obama didn't know squat about making deals from a position of strength. He was weak and easy to manipulate and went into negotiations limp wristed. Pathetic place holder waiting for a real President to get elected. Trump elected and winning for America again.
'MAGA" AND THAT'S HOW ITS DONE.
Trump wins again.

This is what Kerry said about the "treaty" said in 2015 from a CNN article.

Diplomacy is definitely the best way to deal with North Korea. And I have been very critical of POTUS 45. I still think Donald Trump is grossly unqualified to be president and doesn't really understand the intricate details of any of the issues he is charged to deal with.

However, as a mature adult, I'm able to tip my cap to Donald and Pompeo and acknowledge a "win" on this issue with the detainees. Good job done by all. Way to bring 'em home.

If this was Hillary(ok, stop laughing), the Nobel committee would be waiting on the tarmac with her peace prize.

For those who post about unprovoked attacks on liberals, give me a break. Liberals have done nothing BUT ATTACK since Trump was elected. A classic case of dishing it out but not being able to take.

Diplomacy was always in Trump's toolbox for dealing with North Korea. What separated Trump from his critics, however, was his ability to apply unrelenting pressure on North Korea, backed by the very real possibility of going to war. Critics HATED that Trump was constantly pushing us to the brink of war, but that pressure campaign ended up proving effective in bringing Kim to the table. Was it a risky strategy? Yes.

Kim would not have been motivated to do anything had Trump backed down and taken the soft approach.
