Trump says he expects meeting with Kim Jong-un soon

India Today  

US President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he had received a letter from Kim Jong-un and expected to meet with the North Korean leader soon as part of his administration's ongoing efforts to press Pyongyang to give up its nuclear weapons program. Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump defended his negotiations with Kim and said he had never emphasized the speed of Pyongyang's efforts. On Tuesday, Kim said in a nationally televised address that he was ready to meet again with Trump anytime but warned that he may take a new path if US sanctions and pressure against the country continued. A day earlier, South Korea's Chosun Ilbo newspaper reported that Kim had sent a message to Trump regarding the stalled nuclear talks.
