Donald Trump, who orchestrated a spur-of-the-moment June encounter with Kim Jong Un that saw him become the first U.S.president to set foot in North Korea, said Monday that another meeting with the North Korean leader “could happen soon.”
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday he would want to know what would result from a third summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un before agreeing to hold it.
Trump provided few details, and it wasn’t clear what officials were doing behind the scenes to set up a meeting meant to address a diplomatic impasse over the North’s development of nuclear-armed missiles targeting the U.S. mainland.
But Trump’s comments, even with few specifics backing them up, are tantalizing because there is extreme interest, especially in Japan and South Korea, in whether Trump and Kim can strike a deal on one of the world’s most pressing standoffs.
“Right now people would like to see that happen. I want to know what’s going to be coming out of it. We can do a lot before the summit takes place,” Trump told reporters as he met South Korean President Moon Jae-in on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly.
Moon said he would like to see the two leaders hold a third summit. Two prior meetings, in Singapore and Hanoi, have not yielded a denuclearisation deal.
