President Trump unexpectedly seemed to express new openness to talks with North Korea over its nuclear missile program, saying “we will be meeting” as he delivered what was supposed to be a comedic speech at an annual gala dinner and spoof hosted by Washington journalists.
A U. S. official said Washington would insist that any talks should focus on denuclearization, but that it would not demand Pyongyang disarm first or set other preconditions to meet.
