U.S. President Donald Trump announced that he expects to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un within this year.
U.S. President Donald Trump answered questions from reporters at the White House, providing assessments on relations with North Korea. Responding to a question from a journalist about whether he expects to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un this year, Trump said, “Yes, I will meet.”
Despite Trump's statements, the White House has not yet issued an official confirmation or schedule regarding a possible summit between the two leaders. The U.S. media reported that Trump mentioned in private discussions his intention to meet face-to-face with Kim Jong Un during his planned visit to Asia in November.
While Trump sees this move as an opportunity to reopen dialogue channels with North Korea, some American officials and analysts noted that no concrete progress is expected from a potential meeting.
