Good Morning, it’s Friday, 9 March 2018 and this is the Morning Edition of The Nightshift.
Surprise! In a major diplomatic breakthrough, North Korea and the United States will meet to discuss easing the tensions between the two countries. Kim Jung Un of North Korea and President Donald Trump of the United States will meet face-to-face if things go as planned. This meeting–if it actually takes place–could greatly reduce the tensions between North Korea, South Korea and the United States. The meeting is a move in the right direction.
