White House says Donald Trump is ready to talk to Kim Jong-un
US President Donald Trump remains ready for a dialogue with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. This was reported by White House press secretary Caroline Leavitt.
She said that Trump would like to see progress made at the 2018 Singapore summit. Journalists asked Leavitt to comment on rumors that the head of the White House had sent a letter to the leadership in Pyongyang. The press secretary replied that only Trump himself could provide concrete details.
In April this year, Trump said that he planned to contact the North Korean leader soon and that he was proud of the relations they had established together. At the same time, in November last year, it was reported that Pyongyang was not interested in a possible resumption of direct negotiations with the White House.
,,We have already gone as far as we could in our negotiations with the United States of America, and in the end, we realized that the Americans do not want peaceful coexistence, but to maintain their position of intransigent force and their unwavering aggressive and hostile policy towards North Korea’’, Kim Jong-un had declared at an arms exhibition where state-of-the-art missiles designed to strike US territory were displayed.
The conclusion of Trump’s opposition was that the North Korean leader's comments were made amid speculation that the US president's victory in the presidential elections would lead to a new change of tactics in relations with Pyongyang, a phenomenon that has not yet materialized.
