National security adviser John Bolton on Monday expressed frustration over the slow pace of North Korea’s denuclearization, but said President Trump remains open to meeting with leader Kim Jong Un this year.
“The possibility of another meeting between the two presidents obviously exists. But President Trump can’t make the North Koreans walk through the door he’s holding open,” Bolton said in a speech to the Federalist Society, a conservative legal organization.
Bolton later told reporters the two men could meet “sometime this year,” but that such a get-together remains “entirely… hypothetical.”
The top national security official indicated the administration wants to see North Korea speed up efforts to dismantle its nuclear program before a meeting occurs.
