Time for peace: Trump

US President Donald Trump says his planned meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un could fizzle without an agreement or it could result in “the greatest deal for the world” to ease nuclear tensions between the two countries.

“I may leave fast” if progress does not seem possible, Mr Trump said at a campaign rally for Republican congressio­nal candidate Rick Saccone in western Pennsylvan­ia on Saturday.

At the centre of the legal dispute is the property Holzman and other members of the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary had once lived in.

Holzman and Cullanan, among five nuns who had lived at the convent, had sought to sell the property for $US15.5 million to restaurate­ur Dana Hollister, who wanted to convert the property into a hotel.

The Archdioces­e of Los Angeles sued to block the sale in 2015, arguing the nuns did not have authority to sell the property to Hollister.

Mr Trump made the shocking decision last week to meet with Kim after the North Korean leader’s invitation was relayed by a South Korean delegation who visited the White House.

The move abruptly reversed decades of US policy aimed at preventing North Korea from developing nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles.

Earlier in Washington, President Trump sought to rally internatio­nal support for a potential summit, saying North Korea had agreed to not conduct another missile test until after the proposed meetings.

“North Korea has not conducted a Missile Test since November 28, 2017 and has promised not to do so through our meetings. I believe they will honour that commitment!” Mr Trump wrote on Twitter.

The White House has warned no summit would occur unless Pyongyang took “concrete actions” over its nuclear program. Mr Trump and Kim prompted jitters around the world last year as they exchanged insults over the North’s attempts to develop a nuclear weapon capable of hitting the US. Pyongyang has pursued its nuclear program in defiance of UN Security Council resolution­s.

Tensions eased around last month’s Winter Olympics in South Korea, laying the groundwork for what would be the biggest foreign policy gamble for Mr Trump since he took office in January 2017.
