On Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump expressed uncertainty about the likelihood of meeting North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in China next month. Trump was asked by a reporter if he anticipated securing a meeting with Kim during his scheduled attendance at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in China, set for November 18-19 in Shenzhen.
Trump responded, "Oh, I don't know. I don't know," when inquired about the possibility. He further stated that he was not sure if anyone had requested such a meeting.
