WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump said on Tuesday (Jul 17) there is no hurry to denuclearise North Korea under his accord with Kim Jong Un – a shift in tone from when the US leader said the process would start very soon.
« Discussions are ongoing and they’re going very, very well, » Trump told reporters. « We have no time limit. We have no speed limit. »
Trump said he discussed North Korea with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday at their summit in Helsinki.
« President Putin is going to be involved in the sense that he is with us, » Trump said.
The Republican president met with Kim on Jun 12 for an unprecedented summit in Singapore during which the North Korean leader repeated a pledge to denuclearize his country.
