To be remembered as the leader who ushered in a glorious new era of security and prosperity for his people. It really wants to engage.Ĭhairman Kim has an opportunity like no other. There’s no limit to what North Korea can achieve when it gives up its nuclear weapons and embraces commerce and engagement with the rest of the world. That’s what we’re doing and that’s what we have done. We can honor the sacrifice of our forefathers by replacing the horrors of battle with the blessings of peace. And as history has proven over and over again, adversaries can become friends. Yesterday’s conflict does not have to be tomorrow’s war. The past does not have to define the future. Now we can have hope it will soon end and it soon will. Yet while the armistice was agreed the war never ended to this day. Including tens of thousands of brave Americans.
