U.S. President Donald Trump indicated that a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un during his current Asia trip is a possibility, according to 뉴스1. Asked whether he planned to sit down with Kim, Trump answered, "it could be," the outlet reported.
The remark, carried by multiple South Korean news organizations including MBC 뉴스, 헤럴드경제, 뉴스핌 and 문화일보, came while Trump was traveling in Asia. The outlets framed his response as a signal that a meeting has not been ruled out, without confirming that any such encounter is scheduled.
Trump's answer was brief and conditional. According to the reports, he did not elaborate on timing, location or what the two sides would discuss, and no further details about a possible meeting were provided in the coverage.
The comments drew attention because any contact between the two leaders would mark a significant diplomatic development. The reports did not state whether North Korea has responded to the suggestion or whether preparations of any kind are underway.
What to watch next: whether the White House or North Korean state media confirms any plan for the two leaders to meet, and whether Trump's remark is followed by concrete scheduling details.
