Trump says will meet North Korea's Kim later this year
- 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.
