Trump Pushes for Kim Jong Un Meeting This Year: Report
Trump is pressing aides for a one-on-one with Kim Jong Un this fall, while U.S. officials say they expect little progress.
- President Donald Trump has urged aides to arrange an in-person meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un this fall, potentially during a November trip to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Shenzhen, China, according to The Wall Street Journal.
- Following three summits during his first administration, Trump seeks to reopen direct dialogue with Kim, viewing personal rapport as a diplomatic tool despite previous denuclearization efforts failing.
- On Saturday, Trump posted on Truth Social that he and Kim "get along GREAT!" and has scaled back joint U.S.-South Korean military drills, citing his "very good relationship" with the leader.
- U.S. officials told The Journal they expect little progress, while Bruce Klingner, a former senior CIA officer, warned the move "appeases yet another despotic dictator based on a misperception that a personal relationship will actually achieve U.S. foreign policy objectives."
- North Korea's nuclear arsenal has grown significantly since previous summits, and Victor Cha, an expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, warned Pyongyang continues seeking international acceptance as a nuclear weapons state.
