WASHINGTON (AP) — Envisioning "a very special moment for world peace," President Donald Trump announced Thursday he will meet North Korea's Kim Jong Un for highly anticipated summit talks in Singapore on June 12. He set the stage for his announcement by hosting a 3 a.m., made-for-TV welcome home for three Americans held by Kim's government.Final details in place, Trump and Kim agreed to the first face-to-face North Korea-U.S. summit since the end of the 1950-53 Korean War.

0 Have your say From: Richard Wimpenny, Huddersfield. SOFIA Mahmood’s column on violent extremism (The Yorkshire Post, June 4) really is monumental nonsense.

And apart from the Islamic jihadists, who are the other extremist groups queuing up to slaughter men, women and young girls?The facts are very simple. Islam claims to be the one true religion. Unbelievers are the enemies of Allah and should be treated as such. Thank goodness millions of Muslims worldwide, and particularly those who have come to the West, wish to be at peace and enjoy the benefits of living in a free democratic society where they have the right to worship as they see fit.The vast majority still wish to recognise their cultural heritage, but have no desire to murder their … [Read more...] about YP Letters: We should shout about our free society
