Trump says will meet North Korea's Kim later this year
Trump said he expects to meet Kim Jong Un again, while North Korea is estimated to have 57 nuclear weapons, he said.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced plans to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un later this year, with officials eying the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in November as a potential venue.
- Trump defended the diplomatic push while claiming North Korea possesses 57 "very powerful" nuclear weapons, attributing the arsenal's growth to prior administrations. "If I were president, I wouldn't have allowed it," he said.
- While Trump cut joint exercises with South Korea, citing them as "inappropriate and hostile," the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute estimates North Korea has assembled around 60 warheads.
- Kim Yo-jong, the sister of Kim Jong Un, stated Wednesday she was "unaware" of reported recent communication between the leaders, though she maintained that ties between the two remain "excellent."
- Although Trump met Kim three times in 2018 and 2019, those summits produced no lasting denuclearization agreement. Logistical issues and lack of formal confirmation currently cloud the administration's push for a fourth meeting.
