Via Daily Caller:
President Trump held a press conference at the White House Friday morning to announce the administration’s accomplishments on the economy.
The U.S. economy grew to an astonishing rate of 4.1 percent this quarter. Trump touted the strong numbers before taking a moment to pivot to a more solemn topic.
The president and his administration have been in negotiations with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un over the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula. At the much-anticipated summit between Trump and Kim last month, the president was able to arrange the return of American military remains which have in the possession of the North Koreans since the Korean War armistice.
Trump paused near the end of the press conference and said, “There is another matter that is of profound importance to me and I wish to discuss it right now before we leave.”
