KCNA/via REUTERS/File Picture Well be meeting with them sometime in May or early June and I think therell be great respect paid by both parties and hopefully well be able to make a deal on the de-nuking of North Korea, Trump told reporters at the beginning of a Cabinet meeting. Theyve said so. Weve said so, Trump added. Hopefully, itll be a relationship thats much different than its been for many, many years. North Korea has told the United States it is prepared to discuss the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula when Kim meets Trump, a U.S. official told Reuters on Sunday. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said U.S. and North Korean officials have held secret contacts recently in which Pyongyang directly confirmed its willingness to hold the unprecedented summit. The communications, still at a preliminary stage, have involved State Department officials talking to North Korea, apparently through its United Nations mission, and intelligence officers from both sides using a separate back channel, the official said. Before that, Washington had relied mostly on South Koreas assurances of Kims intentions. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
