 Trump ‘open’ to meeting North Korea’s Kim during Asia trip

AI Summary

short article 1 min

U.S. President Donald Trump expressed openness to meeting North Korean leader Kim Jong Un during his upcoming visit to South Korea for a regional summit. This potential encounter could occur at the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) between North and South Korea. The statement came as speculation grew about an impromptu meeting between the two leaders on the sidelines of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum meetings in Busan, scheduled for October 29-30. Trump's willingness to meet Kim is seen by some as part of his pursuit of a Nobel Peace Prize. A similar surprise visit to the DMZ occurred in June 2019 after a Group of Seven summit in Osaka.
