Gyeongju: U.S. President Donald Trump suggested on Wednesday that a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un will not occur during his current visit to South Korea. Speaking at the beginning of summit talks with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung in Gyeongju, Trump mentioned, “I know Kim Jong-un very well. We get along very well. We really weren’t able to work out timing.”
According to Yonhap News Agency, Trump’s visit to South Korea, scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday, had led to speculation that he might meet with Kim Jong-un to revive personal diplomacy concerning North Korea’s nuclear weapons program. However, Trump’s comments have now clarified that such a meeting will not take place during this trip.
