Trump says 'may' meet Kim Jong Un during Asia trip next month

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that he may meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un during his upcoming Asia trip in mid-November, expressing excitement about the prospect. Trump, who has previously met with Kim three times during his first term, reiterated his desire for another round of talks with the North Korean leader.
The proposed meeting would come after Trump's visit to China for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum summit in Shenzhen, China, and potentially to Manila, Philippines, where the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and its partners are set to convene. In August, Trump had stated his expectation of meeting Kim by the end of the year, though no specifics were provided.
The two leaders had previously met in Singapore in 2018, where they signed an agreement to pursue the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, though subsequent meetings between the two sides have not resulted in significant progress as North Korea has continued to enhance its missile and nuclear capabilities.
