U.S. President Donald Trump is open to talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, according to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. However, no meeting has been scheduled. Rubio made these remarks during a press conference following a Group of 20 foreign ministers meeting in Atlanta. He stated that if North Korea and Kim are prepared to talk with the United States about issues concerning them and their allies, such as South Korea, Trump would be open to it.
These comments come amid persistent speculation about renewed diplomacy between Trump and Kim Jong-un, who met three times during Trump's first term. Rubio's remarks also followed trilateral talks among him and his South Korean and Japanese counterparts in Atlanta on Friday, where they reaffirmed their commitment to the situation.
