President Trump has made unthinkable progress on North Korea

Since 1949, the United States and our allies have been engaged in a complicated, high-stakes efforts to reduce the global threat posed by North Korea.

With his bold new tack in dealing with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, we are closer to discovering a path to peace than we've been in decades.

In Hanoi, Vietnam, on Feb. 25, 2019.Instead of the stale, scripted summits of the past where unelected bureaucrats spent months in lukewarm negotiations, Trump has engaged Kim one-on-one.

Since the 2018 Singapore summit, North Korea has traded provocative nuclear stunts for diplomatic engagement and a willingness to join the community of civilized nations.

In his 2017 United Nations address, Trump made clear the consequences of North Korean belligerence.

North Korean nuclear and missile testing has ceased, and there is hope for peace.

Presidents have won Nobel Peace Prizes for less, and Trump's progress merits consideration.
