Trump Open to Kim Meeting on Asia Trip

En route to Asia, Donald Trump said he’s open to meeting Kim Jong Un, citing a “great relationship,” though a senior US official said no meeting is scheduled. The pair met three times in his previous term, without a denuclearisation deal; North Korea has since tested missiles. Kim signaled willingness to talk if the US drops its “absurd” demand to abandon nukes. Trump’s trip includes Malaysia’s ASEAN summit and Busan for APEC, meetings with South Korea’s Lee Jae Myung and China’s Xi Jinping, and unfolds amid trade talks after Trump threatened a 100% levy over rare earth curbs.
