"Seoul's Defense Ministry said Monday it will pull back dozens of its frontline loudspeakers on Tuesday.
It says Seoul expects Pyongyang to do the same.
South Korea had turned off its loudspeakers ahead of Friday's summit talks, and North Korea responded by halting its own broadcasts." foxnews.com/world/2018/04/30/latest-s-korea-to-remove-loudspeakers-at-border.html
Seoul had blasted propaganda messages and K-pop songs from border loudspeakers since the North's fourth nuclear test in early 2016. The North quickly matched the South's action with its own border broadcasts.
"South Korean President Moon Jae-in said Monday that President Trump deserves to win a Nobel Peace Prize for his role in talks to denuclearize the Korean peninsula and end the decades-long war between the North and South.

1. If the Korean War is finally over and the peninsula denuclearized, there ought to be a Nobel awarded to someone. If there isn't, people will want to know why.
2. Moon and Kim sorted this out between them. A joint award to the two of them (or, specifically, half an award to Kim) isn't going to go down particularly well, considering Kim's record in other areas is hardly acceptable.
3. Giving Trump the award avoids any embarrassment, though the world knows he didn't really have anything to do with it.
In any case, if you're doing this kind of thing to get awards, you're doing it for the wrong reason. (Mr. Trump, if you'd like to use that quote yourself, feel free to do so, without attribution.)

The world doesn't know, only your fantasy world knows. Everyone here on planet Earth knows otherwise. Also, hold on to your hat, he will be impeached any day now, I'm sure.
