US President Donald Trump has shown interest in the possibility of holding talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
Medianews.az, referring to Musavat.com, reports that this information was disclosed by South Korea’s Prime Minister Kim Min Suk. Speaking to the Yonhap agency, the prime minister said he intended to arrange a meeting between Trump and Kim Jong Un: "It is difficult to disclose this, but President Trump was very interested in meeting Kim Jong Un and I have a specific idea that I want to implement. Trump has instructed his aides to clarify several more points."
The prime minister believes that if the leaders of the US and North Korea meet, they will discuss resolving issues on the Korean Peninsula.
It should be noted that during Trump’s first presidency – in June 2018 – the first US-North Korea summit was held in Singapore, resulting in the adoption of a joint document. Afterwards, Pyongyang made a commitment to denuclearization in exchange for security guarantees from Washington. The second summit was held in Hanoi in February 2019. After several meetings, including one-on-one talks, Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un could not reach an agreement and did not sign a joint document. The last meeting between Trump and Kim Jong Un took place on June 30, 2019, in the demilitarized zone on the border between North Korea and the Republic of Korea.
