Thursday, March 8 When the biggest diplomatic move of President Donald Trump's administration to date was announced, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was in Ethiopia. Tillerson had just arrived on the African continent Thursday for a multiday trip when a delegation from South Korea arrived at the White House to discuss recent negotiations with North Korea. They were there to meet with top aides to the president, but Trump himself intervened, inviting them into the Oval Office. There, he was told that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was open to discussions with the United States, and Trump, without hesitation, agreed.
