U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly open to discussions with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, according to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. However, no meeting has been scheduled, as emphasized by Rubio during a press conference following a Group of 20 foreign ministers meeting in Atlanta. Rubio stated that Trump would be open to talks if North Korea is prepared to discuss issues of concern to the U.S. and its allies, such as South Korea.
The remarks come amid ongoing speculation about the possibility of renewed diplomacy between Trump and Kim, who met three times during Trump's first term. The comments also followed trilateral talks among Rubio, his South Korean, and Japanese counterparts in Atlanta on Friday, where the three diplomats reaffirmed their commitment to diplomatic efforts.
