U.S. President Donald Trump stated Monday that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has responded to his overtures for talks. Trump described the current stage of conversations as positive, citing his very good relationship with the leader.
While the president called the development very positive, the North Korean side has yet to publicly acknowledge any contact. This follows nuclear diplomacy attempts during Trump's first term, though North Korea's program has only grown stronger since then.
Additionally, the U.S. president slammed Seoul for refusing to join a war on Iran.
