Trump Officials Weigh Possible Kim Jong Un Meeting During Asia Trip, Report Says

  • On Saturday, U.S. officials privately discussed arranging a meeting between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un during his upcoming Asia trip, centered on the APEC summit in Gyeongju, South Korea .
  • Trump's interest reportedly grew after his August meeting with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, though an earlier outreach this year went unanswered when North Korea declined the letter sent by Washington.
  • Officials said they have not begun serious logistical planning and there have been no communications between Washington and Pyongyang, while South Korea's Unification Ministry reported no contact and no DMZ scouting by U.S. teams.
  • Officials say they have left the door open to a meeting with Kim, though the White House remains focused on preparing a meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
  • Two earlier summits in Singapore and Hanoi failed to curb North Korea’s nuclear programme, and the 2019 DMZ meeting saw Trump briefly step into North Korea after past hastily arranged interactions.
