North Korea's Kim showcases missile capable of reaching US as Trump signals possible meeting
- On Monday, President Donald Trump told reporters at the White House he "may" meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un during his upcoming Asia trip, calling the prospect "exciting."
- Trump has frequently touted his rapport with Kim, stating Saturday he "gets along great" with the leader; the two held three in-person summits between 2018 and 2019.
- State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott said the administration does not view engagement with North Korea as a "concession," while Trump recently met with Dennis Rodman, who maintains an unusual personal friendship with the North Korean leader.
- The overtures occur amid rising regional tensions, as North Korea fired multiple ballistic missiles off its east coast on Monday, marking Pyongyang's fourth test in about a month.
- U.S.-South Korea relations remain strained over trade disputes, including a threatened $54 billion liquefied natural gas project in Alaska, as Trump previously scaled back military exercises due to frustration regarding operations against Iran.
