North Korea Issues New Threat on Trump Meeting, Calling Pence Remarks 'Ignorant and Stupid'
Source: NY Times
SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea said on Thursday that it would have second thoughts about a summit meeting between its leader, Kim Jong-un, and President Trump if American officials continued to make what the North considers threats against its leadership.
The North Korean official who issued the warning singled out Vice President Mike Pence for remarks that she called “ignorant and stupid.” In an interview broadcast on Monday on Fox News, Mr. Pence warned that North Korea’s government could end up like that of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, the former Libyan leader.
Mr. Qaddafi gave up his nascent nuclear program in the apparent hopes of staving off Western intervention and sanctions, and of negotiating economic integration with the West. But little of that happened, and years later he was killed by rebels after he was weakened in a military action against Libya by the United States and its European allies.
In a statement carried by the North’s official Korean Central News Agency on Thursday, the North Korean official, Vice Foreign Minister Choe Son-hui, referred to “unlawful and outrageous acts” by top American officials and said that Mr. Pence had made “unbridled and impudent remarks that North Korea might end like Libya.”

GOP lawmaker touts Nobel Peace Prize for Trump
Rep. Luke Messer (R-Ind.) is pressing colleagues to support President Trump
Messer says it would recognize Trump for his role in the new peace talks between North and South Korea.
“We are seeing unprecedented progress toward peace, and it’s a direct result of President Trump’s strong leadership,” said Messer, who is battling fellow GOP Rep. Todd Rokita (Ind.) and former Rep. Mike Braun in a primary to take on Democratic Sen. Joe Donnelly.
“Following this historic announcement, President Trump should get the Nobel Peace Prize. Our peace through strength strategy is delivering never before seen results,” Messer added in a statement.

are the people who legitimized Kim and his regime. They acknowledged that Kim was a major player in the world, and deserved special attention from world leaders. That's all Kim ever wanted, to be legitimized, so he could show his people what a "great leader" he is. He'll want the keys to the kingdom to get rid of his nuclear capabilities, and probably wouldn't totally get rid of them even then. This is all on Trump. Instead of a Nobel Prize, like "everyone" is talking about 
he should get a load of very fresh cow manure dumped on top of his ridiculous hairdo. It would certainly be an improvement.
