Trump says he wants to meet Kim Jong Un on Asia trip
- On Oct. 29, President Donald Trump could extend his South Korea stop for Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation to seek a meeting with Kim Jong-un, AP/YONHAP reported.
- After earlier summits in 2018–19, Trump met Kim three times, including a surprise in Panmunjom, and Kim declared North Korea a nuclear state on September 21.
- Signals undercutting a meeting include North Korea's lack of response and Choe Son-hui, North Korean Foreign Minister, departing for Belarus and Russia, casting doubt on prospects for talks.
- Washington and Seoul are coordinating closely on denuclearization, a South Korea's presidential office official told Yonhap, while Trump suggested he might recognize North Korea as a nuclear power.
- North Korea's advancing nuclear and ballistic missile programs drive tensions on the Korean Peninsula, while Kim Jong-un last month recalled Trump fondly and signaled readiness to resume talks if denuclearization demands ease.
