TIL Desk/World/Washington/ United States President Donald Trump has said that he has received a “great letter” from Kim Jong-un and is looking forward to meet the North Korean leader for a second time in the “not-too-distant future” to restart talks about the denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula.
US President Trump’s announcement came after the North Korean leader warned that Pyongyang may change its approach to nuclear talks if Washington persists with sanctions. “I just got a great letter from Kim Jong-un. Those few people that I’ve shown this letter to, they’ve never written letters like that. This letter is a great letter.
We’ve made a lot of progress with North Korea and Kim Jong-un,” Trump told his Cabinet colleagues during a meeting on Wednesday. “North Korea has tremendous economic potential and so I look forward to our meeting with Chairman Kim. We’ll set that up. We’ll be setting it up in the not-too-distant future,” he said.
Trump said he and Kim had established a very good relationship. “A lot of good things are happening. I never said speed. Look, it’s been this way for 80 plus years,” he said. Kim and Trump held a historic meeting in Singapore on June 12 last year.
