Barrasso: The World in Terms of the Korean Peninsula Is Safer Today Than When Obama Left the W.H. Because of Trump

EXCERPT:

BARRASSO: 'Well, I’ll tell you, I think the world continues to be a very dangerous place. I think the world in terms of the Korean peninsula is safer today than it was the day Barack Obama left the White House and I think that’s because of the actions of President Trump. We have haven’t had any missile testing or nuclear weapons testing by North Korea in over a year. We’ve had a return of some of our lost soldiers from the Korean war. I think that the heat at the demilitarized zone has been turned down. This will be a long and winding road. You have to be very clear-eyed. It’s not just Kim, his father and the father before them, all of them brutal, ruthless, unforgiving, corrupt dictators. That’s who you’re dealing with. But I think it’s critical that we make sure that we can get rid of their nuclear weapons. We’re clearly not there now. We’re heading in the direction. But it’s going to take a long time, I believe, to accomplish it."
