The move followed North Korea’s surprise announcement that it would halt nuclear tests and missile launch trials. Pyongyang also said it was closing down a nuclear test site and would instead pursue economic growth and peace.

The decision has been welcomed by world leaders, including US president Donald Trump, who is set to meeting Mr Kim next month.

North Korea is suspending testing because they are out of money and are going to try to trade the missiles/nukes for food and fuel. But watching both sides take steps back is nice to see. Let's hope it sticks this time.
