Trump-Kim meeting speculation flares ahead of US president's visit to South Korea
Speculation grows on a Trump-Kim meeting at the Demilitarized Zone amid North Korea's expanded nuclear arsenal and diplomatic leverage, with experts noting increased chances for talks.
- Speculation has surged ahead of the U.S. president's stop in South Korea, with no official signals about a potential meeting with Kim Jong Un during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting .
- Kim has strengthened his bargaining position by expanding his arsenal, accelerating missile development, and seeking U.S. recognition to lift United Nations sanctions.
- No notable preparations have emerged that signal an imminent summit, though suspension of civilian tours to Panmunjom and Kim's last month remarks have fueled speculation.
- Many experts say prospects for another impromptu meeting aren't bright now but expect talks could resume in coming months, and Chung Dong-young, South Korea's Unification Minister, said a Panmunjom meeting is possible during Trump's visit.
- Offering sanctions relief in exchange for limited measures could prompt demands from South Korea and Japan for nuclear weapons, while North Korea's arsenal raises doubts about the U.S. extended deterrence pledge.
