How did we get here? How did North Korea and the US go from talk of potential nuclear war to actual, well, talks? Here's one explanation: Experts tell me the war threats may have actually scared leaders like Trump.
"North Korea has 100 percent changed its tactics," Sue Mi Terry, a North Korea expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank, told me.
In those talks, North Korea agreed to send a large delegation to the Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, in February.
Moon, the son of North Korean refugees, has long advocated for friendlier relations and dialogue with the North.
Through a spokesperson, Moon said he would meet only if the conditions were right and also called for North Korea to meet with the United States.
The coming Trump-Kim summit made the South Korea meeting possible On March 8, South Korean envoys who had just met with Kim Jong Un relayed a message to Trump: The North Korean leader wanted to meet with him.
He campaigned in part on easing tensions with North Korea and continually advocated for a diplomatic solution to the US-North Korea standoff.
