  "account": "US President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he intends to meet with North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Un, later this year. During a briefing at the White House, Trump stated that he would like to maintain a good relationship with Kim, noting that Pyongyang currently possesses 57 powerful nuclear weapons. Trump's sudden focus on Kim and his decision to reduce joint US-South Korean military drills have raised concerns among Asian allies. Speculation suggests that Trump may be seeking a foreign policy victory as his Iran war appears to be stalled.",
  "summary": "The US president says it is important to 'get along' with Kim Jong Un, adding that North Korea has 57 'very powerful' nuclear weapons.",
