I agree with Kim Jong Un of North Korea that our personal relationship remains very good, perhaps the term excellent would be even more accurate, Trump said in a tweet on Saturday.
President Donald Trump has said he is also open to a third summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, reciprocating Kim’s overture to resume negotiations.
‘I agree with Kim Jong Un of North Korea that our personal relationship remains very good, perhaps the term excellent would be even more accurate, and that a third Summit would be good in that we fully understand where we each stand,’ Trump said in a tweet on Saturday morning.
‘North Korea has tremendous potential for extraordinary growth, economic success and riches under the leadership of Chairman Kim,’ Trump continued.
‘I look forward to the day, which could be soon, when Nuclear Weapons and Sanctions can be removed, and then watching North Korea become one of the most successful nations of the World!’
Following the dramatic breakdown of the second round of talks in Vietnam in February, negotiations seemed to have faltered.
Then on Friday night Kim said he is open to a third summit with Trump, but set the year’s end as a deadline for Washington to offer mutually acceptable terms for an agreement to salvage the high-stakes nuclear diplomacy, the North’s state-run media said Saturday.
Kim made the comments during a speech Friday at a session of North Korea’s rubber stamp parliament, which made a slew of personnel changes that bolstered his diplomatic lineup amid stalemated negotiations with the United States.
His speech came hours after Trump and visiting South Korean President Moon Jae-in met in Washington and agreed on the importance of nuclear talks with North Korea.
‘We of course place importance on resolving problems through dialogue and negotiations. But U. S.-style dialogue of unilaterally pushing its demands doesn’t fit us, and we have no interest in it,’ Kim said during the speech.
According to the Korean Central News Agency, or KCNA, Kim blamed the collapse of his summit with Trump in February on what he described as unilateral demands by the United States, which he said raised questions over whether Washington has genuine willingness to improve relations.
