  "summary": "The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) director Kelly McKeague informed the White House that the agency is prepared for engagement with North Korea to recover the remains of U.S. troops killed during the Korean War. This comes as President Donald Trump has expressed his intention to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong-un later this year, reigniting speculation about the possibility of rekindling the personal diplomacy that led to three summits during Trump's first term. McKeague's comments, made during an online forum, suggest that the U.S. is exploring options for diplomatic engagement with Pyongyang, similar to the lead-up to the 2018 Singapore summit and the 2019 meetings in Hanoi and Panmunjom.",
