Goodlatte statement on US-North Korea Summit in Singapore

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) released the following statement on the historic meeting between President Donald J. Trump and Chairman Kim Jong Un in Singapore:

“This week we witnessed history. The positive and productive meeting between President Trump and Kim Jong Un highlights this Administration’s desire for a peaceful and stable Korean Peninsula. A nuclear North Korea is a threat to the safety of our allies and to the United States. North Korea’s commitment to work toward a complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula is a monumental step forward. As negotiations to reach this goal continue, the United States must remain vigilant of North Korea’s actions and ensure that they keep their commitments. I will continue to follow this process with great interest. I applaud President Trump for the steps he has taken to initiate the path to a lasting peace on the Korean Peninsula.”
