President Trump on Tuesday called North Korea’s leader a “very honorable” person and expressed hope their meeting will occur “as soon as possible.”
“He really has been very open and, I think, very honorable from everything we’re seeing,” Trump said of Kim Jong Un during a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron at the White House.

Despite his high hopes for their planned nuclear summit, Trump reiterated he would walk away if the talk are not productive.
“Unlike past administrations, I will leave the table. But I think we have the chance to do something very special,” he said.
The president has broken with his predecessors in seeking to negotiate with the North Korean leader to try and end its nuclear program.
Past presidents have shied away, in large part because they viewed the North Koreans as untrustworthy partners.
