Trump-Kim Summit Possible ‘at Any Time,’ Seoul Spy Agency Says

The agency said no concrete contact has been shown, but it sees signs of dialogue and says a summit could happen at any time.

  • On Tuesday, South Korea's National Intelligence Service briefed lawmakers that a summit between the United States and North Korea remains possible, citing emerging signs of dialogue between Washington and Pyongyang.
  • President Donald Trump has repeatedly floated a new meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, claiming he remains "100 per cent" open to talks and citing "good memories and feelings" from previous summits.
  • Separate maritime exercises set for September 7 between the United States and allies South Korea and Japan have drawn angry responses, with North Korea's foreign ministry claiming the drills "constitute a threat" to the region.
  • Despite engagement attempts since June 2025, Pyongyang has rejected overtures from South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, labeling Seoul its "most hostile" enemy and declaring itself an "irreversible" nuclear state.
  • Former University of North Korean Studies president Yang Moo-jin noted that Moscow-backed North Korea lacks motivation for talks, while the NIS reported Kim's daughter Ju-ae appears designated as his successor.
