Washington, October 31 - U.S. President Donald Trump remains open to engaging in talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, according to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. However, no scheduled meeting has been set, Rubio stated during a press conference following a Group of 20 foreign ministers meeting in Atlanta. Rubio explained that Trump's stance is that if North Korea and Kim are prepared to discuss issues of concern to the U.S. and its allies, such as South Korea, Trump would be willing to engage in such discussions.

He emphasized that there are currently no plans for a meeting to be arranged. Rubio's comments come in the wake of ongoing rumors about the potential for renewed diplomatic efforts between Trump and Kim, who met three times during Trump's first term as president. The remarks also follow trilateral talks among Rubio, his South Korean, and Japanese counterparts in Atlanta on Friday, where the three diplomats reiterated their commitment to the complete denuclearization of North Korea.
