 "Trump says he would ‘like’ to meet North Korea’s Kim during Asia trip")
US President Donald Trump said Friday, as he departed for Asia, that he hopes to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un while in South Korea. Trump left late Friday for Asia, where he will hold high-stakes talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping in South Korea, aiming to secure a trade deal with Beijing.
“I’d like to, he knows we’re going there,” Trump told reporters at the White House when asked if a meeting was possible. “I don’t know, we let him know, he knows that I’m going.”
Trump added of Kim, whom he last met in 2019 during his first term, that “I get along with him very well.”
The Republican leader will also visit Malaysia and Japan on his first trip to Asia since returning to the White House in January amid a flurry of tariffs and geopolitical negotiations.
