President Donald Trump is trumpeting "many good conversations" with North Korea over denuclearization.

Trump tweeted Tuesday that "All of Asia is thrilled" that North Korea has halted missile testing and only the "Opposition Party" Democrats, including the "Fake News" is complaining.

Trump also claims: "If not for me, we would now be at War with North Korea!"

Trump's June nuclear summit with Kim yielded no specifics on how North Korea would achieve denuclearization. And experts say there is no proof North Korea's halt of nuclear and missile tests means the North will take concrete steps to give up such weapons. They also say the U.S. has an unrealistic approach to North Korea's denuclearization.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo plans to return to North Korea on Thursday to continue the talks.
