CNN’s Ripley on N. Korea Suspending Nuke Tests: ‘I Am Speechless,’ ‘Huge Win’ for Trump

RUSH EXCERPT:

RIPLEY: "Wolf, I just got off the phone with a North Korea official who confirms news that is breaking right now in north Korea state media. Kim Jong-un announced to his country and his own people he’s completed his nuclear program. And therefore, there is no need to continue developing nuclear weapons. Kim Jong-un saying North Korea no longer needs any nuclear tests, mid-ranged and intercontinental ballistic missile tests. And he’s saying the nuclear test site in the northern area near the Chinese border has completed its mission. Therefore, it will likely be closed. This is an extraordinarily significant development. And frankly, a huge win for President Trump going into these potential summits with north Korean leader Kim Jong-un. I want to read to you a quote from a north Korean force I just spoke to on the phone. Finally, Kim Jong-un decided to open up. This is a new chapter for the dprk. He’s committed himself to the task of denuclearization and focus solely on economic growth and improving the national economy. Finally, he has realized the best path forward is to open up the country and normalize relations. He is finally being recognized by the international community and this is an historic timely opportunity. Wolf, I am speechless here at the pace at which North Korea has done this u-turn."
