  • On his Asia trip, President Donald Trump said he would like to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, but a senior US official said no meeting was on his schedule; the itinerary includes Malaysia for the ASEAN summit and Busan, South Korea ahead of Apec.

  • Asked about recognition late on Thursday, Trump said `I think they are sort of a nuclear power...` as North Korea's missile tests increase security stakes for regional talks with Lee Jae Myung.
