U.S. Lawmakers Submit Resolution Supporting Trump's Diplomatic Efforts

Two U.S lawmakers have introduced a bipartisan resolution in support of President Donald Trump's diplomatic efforts on denuclearizing the Korean peninsula.

Representatives Democrat Tulsi Gabbard and Republican Ted Yoho submitted the resolution on Friday, the day South Korean President Moon Jae-in held a historic summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un at the truce village of Panmunjeom. 

The resolution welcomed the upcoming U.S.-North Korea summit, saying the House of Representatives "recognizes that the American people are committed to peace and support efforts toward diplomatic negotiations to ensure the complete, verifiable, irreversible denuclearization of North Korea."

It also urged the President Trump, the Supreme Leader of North Korea, and regional leaders to engage diplomatically to ease tensions on the Korean Peninsula, and exhaust all non-military policy tools before any use of military force.
