Ministry spokeswoman Choi Hyunsoo said Seoul expected North Korea to do the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">South Korea had already turned off its loudspeakers ahead of Friday\u2019s summit talks, and North Korea responded by halting its own broadcasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two Koreas had been engaged in Cold War-era psychological warfare since the North\u2019s fourth nuclear test in early 2016. Seoul began blaring anti-North Korean broadcasts and K-Pop songs via border loudspeakers, and North Korea quickly matched the action with its own border broadcasts and launches of balloons carrying anti-South leaflets.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/flashpoints\/2018\/04\/18\/us-forces-in-korea-arent-packing-up-just-yet-heres-why\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"157\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-927755548.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">US forces in Korea aren\u2019t packing up just yet. Here\u2019s why.<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Any peace deal with North Korea is unlikely to have an immediate impact on the 23,000 U.S. troops deployed on the peninsula.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seoul\u2019s announcement came a day after it said Kim told Moon during the summit that he would shut down his country\u2019s only known nuclear testing site and allow outside experts and journalists to watch the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">South Korean officials also cited Kim as saying he would be willing to give up his nuclear programs if the United States commits to a formal end to the Korean War and a pledge not to attack the North. Kim had already suspended his nuclear and missile tests while offering to put his nuclear weapons up for negotiations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The closing of the Punggy-ri test site, where all six of North Korea\u2019s atomic bomb tests occurred, could be an eye-catching disarmament step by North Korea. But there is still deep skepticism over whether Kim is truly willing to negotiate away the nuclear weapons that his country has built after decades of struggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to a summit accord, Kim and Moon agreed to achieve \u201ca nuclear-free Korean Peninsula through complete denuclearization,\u201d rather than clearly stating \u201ca nuclear-free North Korea.\u201d North Korea has long said the term \u201cdenuclearization of the Korean Peninsula\u201d must include the United States pulling its 28,500 troops out of South Korea and removing its so-called \u201cnuclear umbrella\u201d security commitment to South Korea and Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/flashpoints\/2018\/04\/29\/us-reaffirms-its-ironclad-commitment-to-defend-south-korea\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"198\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP18117359155351.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">US reaffirms its \u2018ironclad commitment\u2019 to defend South Korea<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis spoke on Saturday with their South Korean counterparts after the historic meeting between leaders of the two Koreas, and Trump said \u201cthings are going very well\u201d as he prepares for an expected summit with the North\u2019s Kim Jong Un.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kim could offer more disarmament concessions during his meeting with Trump, expected in May or June, but it\u2019s unclear what specific steps he would take. Some experts say Kim may announce scraping North Korea\u2019s long-range missile program, which has posed a direct threat to the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton reacted coolly to word that Kim would abandon his weapons if the United States pledged not to invade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asked on CBS\u2019s \u201cFace the Nation\u201d whether the U.S. would make such a promise, Bolton said: \u201cWell, we\u2019ve heard this before. This is \u2014 the North Korean propaganda playbook is an infinitely rich resource. What we want to see from them is evidence that it\u2019s real and not just rhetoric.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kim\u2019s meeting with Moon was his second summit with a foreign leader since he took office in late 2011. In March, he traveled to Beijing and met with Chinese President Xi Jinping. While meeting with Xi, Kim suggested he prefers a step-by-step disarmament process in line with corresponding outside rewards, according to Chinese state media. U.S. officials want the North to take complete, verifiable and irreversible disarmament measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">China said Monday that its foreign minister, Wang Yi, will visit Pyongyang, North Korea\u2019s capital, on Wednesday and Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">China is North Korea\u2019s only major economic partner, but trade has declined by about 90 percent following Beijing\u2019s implementation of economic sanctions imposed over the North\u2019s nuclear and missile tests. Some analysts say Kim\u2019s recent charm offensive was aimed at weakening the sanctions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also on Monday, the North\u2019s parliament adopted a decree to sync its time zone with South Korea\u2019s this Saturday. North Korea\u2019s official news agency said the move was made at the proposal of Kim, who found it was \u201ca painful wrench to see two clocks indicating Pyongyang and Seoul times hanging on a wall of the summit venue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moon\u2019s office said Sunday that Kim made similar remarks to Moon during the summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The North in 2015 had set its clocks 30 minutes behind South Korea and Japan, saying the measure was aimed at rooting out the legacy of Tokyo\u2019s 1910-45 colonial rule of the Korean Peninsula.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South Korean President Moon Jae-in has shaken off a suggestion that he receive the Nobel Peace Prize, saying that U.S.
