CNN host Erin Burnett admitted Thursday that if President Trump could solve tensions with North Korea, he would go down as a great president.

“There is no way around that.”

“Just an extraordinarily evening and of course opening the door to the big question–if President Trump can truly solve this problem. That would be going down as a great president, and there is no way around that. That is the reality here. Thank you all.”

Burnett said this after it was announced President Trump is willing to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un Thursday. (RELATED: Trump Agrees To Meet North Korean Dictator Kim Jong Un Before May)

Trump tweeted:

Kim Jong Un talked about denuclearization with the South Korean Representatives, not just a freeze. Also, no missile testing by North Korea during this period of time. Great progress being made but sanctions will remain until an agreement is reached. Meeting being planned! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 9, 2018
