The Trump administration is so optimistic about progress made with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un on the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula that officials hope to hold “Round 2” of nuclear talks with the North Korean regime in New York City in September, a new report says.
According to Axios, which first reported the news, U. S. officials would only move forward with the meeting if Pyongyang provides evidence they are moving forward with denuclearization. Axios described the potential meeting as a “carrot to encourage real movement by North Korea” on denuclearization.
The meeting, which would come three months after Trump’s historic Singapore summit with Kim, would coincide with the United Nations General Assembly’s annual summit in New York City.
The surprising news comes just two days after NBC News reported that North Korea is ramping up its nuclear development at “secret sites” instead of shutting down its nuclear operations.
According to NBC, which spoke to U. S. officials familiar with intelligence assessments of North Korean denuclearization, the Kim regime has only stopped its missile and nuclear tests.
