Won't be any 'talking' . Talking occurs between two equal parties.
The 'Talks' are just cover for Ultimatums, threats and intimidation.
Like the US does all the time with other countries;
First drag their economy in the dirt with sanctions, demonize them in the World Press, surround them militarily with bases and aircraft carriers, then say, Wanna Talk"?

Obvious now that the anti-Trumpers ill be for an all-out war now since Trump may be trying to avert it.
Trump isn't trying to avert it , the grown ups are.
Because the President has no say right?

I'm always amazed at how some people that have served in the Military like me can trust and support a draft dodging coward for "commander in Chief" in any situation calling for military intervention.
Glad I don't have any kids....!
God help us!!

Just because they are in contact does not mean there is any negotiation going on.

Your anti-US bias is showing. Not saying the U.S. is not guilty of a lot of crap (just like every other superpower), but in this case, you act as if NK is free from wrongdoing. They chose to ignore the agreement framework they signed, that the U.S. adhered to on their side. They are threatening nuclear war. They are testing missiles over other countries, testing nuclear weapons, and methods of delivery.
No country has told them they can't test conventional weapons, planes, subs, etc. Only nuclear weapons. Why are some of you so keen to have NK get nukes?

it's a hollow threat in this case unless Kim engages in a hostile action against the US he is safe...
Korea is safe? US has occupied the Korean Peninsula for 72 years...
72 years
Not all of it.
