SINGAPORE (The Borowitz Report<\/a>)\u2014One day before his summit with Donald J. Trump, the North Korean dictator, Kim Jong Un, has offered to host peace talks between the United States and Canada.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters at his hotel in Singapore, Kim said that the rising tensions between the North American neighbors were posing an \u201cintolerable threat to world peace.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to offering to host U.S.-Canada talks in Pyongyang, Kim urged the immediate creation of a demilitarized zone along the border separating the two hostile nations.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn exchange for Canadian Mounties agreeing to stand down on their side of the border, the United States, in turn, would dismantle its nuclear weapons,\u201d Kim said.<\/p>\n

Although stating that \u201cNorth Korea stands ready and willing to be an honest broker\u201d in peace talks between the two countries, he urged Trump to dial back the \u201cinflammatory rhetoric\u201d that he aimed at Canadians over the weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cViolent language and threats have no place in international diplomacy,\u201d Kim said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
