Seoul spy agency sees North Korea-US summit as ‘possible at any time’
Public response from Pyongyang remains mostly muted, but signs of dialogue with Washington have emerged.
South Korean lawmaker Youn Kun-young has announced that a summit between the United States and North Korea may occur at any time due to emerging dialogue signs, according to a briefing by the National Intelligence Service. While no concrete contact has been confirmed, there are indications of communication between the two nations.
US President Donald Trump has expressed his desire to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, emphasizing the importance of repairing their relationship. North Korea, however, has shown little reaction to Trump's overtures, despite claims that Kim has positive feelings towards Trump. The possibility of a US-North Korea summit comes amid a reduction in joint US-South Korea military drills and speculation of diplomatic moves as the Iran war situation remains unresolved.
Analysts, however, remain skeptical of imminent talks, noting that North Korea may have little incentive to engage in dialogue due to its relationships with other nations, including Russia, China, and the United States.
