US President Donald Trump said he was ready to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un during his trip to Asia. This was reported by the BBC, writes UNN.<\/p>\n

Details<\/h2>\n

"I would agree. If you want to spread this information, I am ready for it," the US president told reporters aboard Air Force One, adding that he "had a great relationship" with Kim.<\/p>\n

Trump made history during his first term, becoming the first sitting US president to set foot on North Korean soil when they last shook hands in 2019.<\/p>\n

As the publication notes, Trump took an atypical approach to North Korea – a closed communist totalitarian state largely isolated on the international stage – and its aspirations to develop nuclear weapons. He initially mocked Kim, calling him "little rocket man."<\/p>\n

During Trump's previous tenure in the White House, they met in person three times, but failed to agree on a nuclear disarmament program. Since then, according to North Korea's neighbors, the country has conducted several intercontinental missile tests.<\/p>\n

Asked if he recognized North Korea as a nuclear power, Trump told reporters Thursday night: "I think they are a nuclear power to some extent… They have a lot of nuclear weapons, I can tell you that."<\/p>\n

Kim Jong Un said he was ready to meet Trump again if the US stopped insisting on its "absurd" demand that North Korea give up nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n

"I still have good memories of President Trump," Kim said in his speech last month, according to state media.<\/p>\n

South Korean Unification Minister Chung Dong-young, who is responsible for inter-Korean relations, said there was a "significant" chance of the two leaders meeting while Trump is in South Korea for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum, AFP reported.<\/p>\n

During his trip to Malaysia and Japan, Trump will meet with a number of world leaders, including Chinese President Xi Jinping, amid trade talks sparked by Trump's imposition of massive tariffs earlier this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
