US President Donald Trump on Monday said he was open to meeting North Korean leader Kim Jong Un “at some point,” according to news agency AFP.
“Someday I’ll see him,” Trump told reporters when asked if he planned another meeting with Kim, ahead of South Korean President Lee Jae Myung’s visit to the White House. “We will meet at some point,” he added.
Trump and Kim shared a turbulent relationship during his first presidency, initially trading insults and threats over Pyongyang’s nuclear programme before holding three historic meetings. Trump once even joked that “we fell in love” after exchanging letters with the North Korean leader, news agency Reuters reported.
The two leaders have met three times during Trump’s first term — first at a landmark summit in Singapore in June 2018, then in Hanoi in February 2019 where talks collapsed over sanctions and nuclear demands and finally in June 2019 at the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), where Trump briefly stepped into North Korean territory.
