U.S. and North Korean officials are holding backdoor talks to arrange a third meeting between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and President Donald Trump, South Korea’s president told reporters on Tuesday.
South Korean President Moon Jae-in said Trump’s and Kim’s “willingness to engage in dialogue has never faded” and that a recent exchange of letters is evidence of their brightening relationship, according to an Associated Press report. Moon did not provide any details on whether U.S and North Korean officials had face-to-face meetings.
The White House did not immediately reply to an email seeking confirmation of the South Korean president’s disclosure.
Trump in April teased the idea of a third summit, writing online that a meeting “would be good,” and that “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.”
