We don't know how much credit President Donald Trump deserves for the thaw in relations between North and South Korea, and it's too early to tell if a lasting peace will result from it, but it's no longer entirely farfetched that Trump could win a Nobel Peace Prize. Stranger things have happened.
A group of House Republicans is seeking the Nobel Peace Prize for President Donald Trump because of his work to ease nuclear tensions with North Korea. Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un are working out the details of a historic summit that could take place by the end of May or early June.
From forcing China to use its influence to matching Kim Jong Un's aggressiveness, Donald Trump has done more to earn Nobel Prize than Barack Obama.

With the date of a summit meeting with Kim Jong Un still to be determined, President Donald Trump continued this weekend to press the case that major changes are on the horizon between North and South Korea, as Mr. Trump spoke with both the South Korean and Japanese leaders about progress on a deal with the Pyongyang regime to rein in its nuclear weapons program. Headline: "Kim Prepared to Cede Nuclear Weapons if U.S. Pledges Not to Invade" - from the Failing New York Times.
Keeping diplomatic developments coming at a head-snapping pace, the South Korean government said on Sunday that North Korea's leader, Kim Jong-un, had told President Moon Jae-in that he would abandon his nuclear weapons if the United States agreed to formally end the Korean War and promise not to invade his country. The apparent concessions from the youthful leader were widely welcomed as perhaps the most promising signs yet of ending a standoff on the Korean Peninsula frozen in place since fighting in the Korean War ended 65 years ago.
As the White House plans for a meeting with Kim Jong Un, Republicans and Democrats on congressional intelligence committees warned Sunday that President Trump needs to be cautious about talks with the North Korean dictator.

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, left, shakes hands with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg prior to a meeting at NATO headquarters in Brussels on Friday, April 27, 2018. After making his diplomatic debut in Brussels at the NATO foreign ministers meeting, new U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo begins a swing through the Middle East Saturday.
Responding to reports that North Korea said it "no longer needs" nuclear tests, Jim Hanson, president of the generally pro-Trump Security Studies Group, credited President Trump.
Mike Pompeo took over as America's top diplomat Thursday after being confirmed by the Senate and sworn in across the street minutes later. The new secretary of state immediately dashed off to Europe in an energetic start befitting the high-stakes issues awaiting him from Iran to North Korea.
New U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo sent a powerful signal to NATO allies, traveling to Brussels for Friday's ministerial meeting just hours after being confirmed. "I hopped straight on a plane and came straight here," Pompeo told NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.
The Senate narrowly confirmed Mike Pompeo to be secretary of state on Thursday, clearing the path for him to take over as the top U.S. diplomat just as President Donald Trump faces high-risk moments on Iran and North Korea. Pompeo, the outgoing CIA director, secured support from 57 senators, with 42 voting no - one of the slimmest margins for the job in recent history.
Six Democrats and one independent voted to confirm former CIA director Mike Pompeo as the 70th US secretary of state - and the second to serve under President Donald Trump. Despite objections from dozens of Democrats who have expressed concern about his record of hawkish foreign policy positions and controversial comments about Muslims , the Republican-controlled Senate narrowly voted 57 to 42 to approve Pompeo as the nation's top diplomat.
Amid hurried preparations for North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's meetings with the president of South Korea on Friday, even the dessert menu is making Japan nervous. Upon learning of plans to serve Kim a mango mousse decorated with a map of the Korean Peninsula that includes islands over which Tokyo claims sovereignty, Japan's Foreign Ministry lodged an official complaint with its neighbour.
