WASHINGTON, April 20 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Donald Trump was upbeat on Pyongyang's announcement to suspend nuclear and Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) tests

According to the official KCNA news agency, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) will suspend the tests from Saturday. The nation also decided to close a nuke test site to ensure the transparency of its test-halting effort.

"Big progress!" He tweeted, adding that he looks forward to his meeting with the DPRK's top leader Kim Jong Un.
