White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Friday that the U.S. will require North Korea take concrete and verifiable steps before President Trump sits down with Kim Jong Un.
The White House had not previously said that there were any preconditions for the talks when it announced late Thursday that the president would be open to meeting with the North Korean leader in the next few months.
This meeting won't take place without concrete actions that match the promises that have been made by North Korea, Sanders said.
South Korean officials have said that Kim will suspend his ballistic missile tests in the hopes of opening a dialogue.

Seriously, what "concrete and verifiable steps" do you think will please Donnie? He doesn't know a damned thing. All he knows is that he has a big button that works (or so he has been told).

Well, that's fine. I'd rather hear more about the Stormy mishegas and spend time speculating about Nunberg's grand jury testimony.
