Trump says will meet North Korea's Kim later this year
Trump said he wants a fourth summit with Kim Jong Un as White House officials seek to revive direct diplomacy and ease tensions.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced his intention to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un later this year, stating, "The fact that I get along with him — that's a good thing."
- Trump met Kim three times during his first term but emerged empty-handed as North Korea accelerated nuclear production to 57 weapons; he argues his personal relationship, forged over eight hours of encounters, can contain Pyongyang.
- The White House spent the past two days signaling diplomatic openness, including cutting short US-South Korea military exercises, as officials eye potential opportunities for a summit during upcoming November travel to Asia.
- Despite the rhetoric, the viability of a fourth summit remains uncertain; Trump declined to confirm if letters were exchanged, and attempts to broker a meeting during his visit to Asia last year failed due to logistical challenges.
- Questions persist regarding how a new meeting would succeed where three previous summits failed; Trump dismissed concerns about North Korea's arsenal, claiming Kim "is going to be fine as long as we have a smart president.
