A letter from US President Donald Trump to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was given Saturday to North Korea’s foreign minister at the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) meeting, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tweeted.
While attending the ASEAN meeting Saturday, Pompeo and Ri approached each other and Pompeo told Ri they should talk again soon, according to an account from Nauert. She said Ri replied, „There are many productive conversations to be had.“
Asked what the handshake between the two diplomats might represent, Nauert said, „Anytime you have conversations or interactions like that, especially given where our two countries were one year ago is a step in the right direction.“
Trump revealed Thursday he had received a letter from Kim Jong Un when the US President tweeted his thanks to Kim after the possible remains of American war dead from the Korean War arrived back on US soil. The White House confirmed that Trump had received the letter Wednesday from North Korea’s leader.
