The Salem chapter of the United Nations Association is sponsoring a forum on Korea and the prospects for peace Friday, May 4 at the IKE Box, beginning at 6:30 pm. The forum is free and open to the public.

Up until a month ago, we had a war of words going back and forth between President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-in as to who’s nuclear button was the biggest. Yet, on April 27, a “Peace Summit” took place between the leaders of North and South Korea and another is planned soon between President Trump and the North Korean leader. These events look like an important “beginning”, possibly a way toward peace that we have not seen before.
