Trump says will meet North Korea’s Kim later this year
The US president says it is important to 'get along' with Kim Jong Un, adding that North Korea has 57 'very powerful' nuclear weapons.
US President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he intends to meet with North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Un, later this year. During a briefing at the White House, Trump stated that he would like to maintain a good relationship with Kim, noting that Pyongyang currently possesses 57 powerful nuclear weapons. Trump's sudden focus on Kim and his decision to reduce joint US-South Korean military drills have raised concerns among Asian allies.
Speculation suggests that Trump may be seeking a foreign policy victory as his Iran war appears to be stalled.
