The White House has inquired about the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) regarding potential actions if President Donald Trump were to enter into a deal with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, according to Kelly McKeague, the agency's director. This request was made during an online forum, highlighting the ongoing interest in reestablishing diplomatic relations between the two nations.

This development comes as President Trump has expressed his desire to meet with Kim later this year, sparking speculation about the possibility of rekindling his personal diplomatic efforts that resulted in three summits with Kim during his first term.
