July 1, 2019
(Richvale, CA) – Congressman Doug LaMalfa (R-Richvale) issued the following statement after President Donald Trump became the first sitting U.S. President to cross the Demilitarized Zone and set foot in North Korea.
LaMalfa said: "Over the weekend, President Donald Trump became the 1st sitting U.S. President to cross the DMZ into North Korea. This is a landmark occasion for America, the Korean Peninsula, and in world affairs. North Korea is still far from a reliable friend, but President Trump is doing the right thing by keeping the door open to continue negotiations for a denuclearized North Korea. That is a goal that we need to obtain, and the President's efforts help keep more options on the table."
Congressman Doug LaMalfa is a lifelong farmer representing California's First Congressional District, including Butte, Glenn, Lassen, Modoc, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Shasta, Sierra, Siskiyou and Tehama Counties.
