Trump Hints at Possible Meeting with Kim Jong Un

President Trump has expressed interest in meeting North Korea’s Kim Jong Un this year to revive diplomacy, praising their past relationship. South Korea’s President Lee Jae Myung welcomed the idea, urging Trump to bring peace to the peninsula. North Korea has yet to respond, continuing to criticize US-South Korea military drills.

US President Donald Trump has signaled his willingness to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un later this year, aiming to revive stalled diplomacy. Speaking at the White House alongside South Korea’s President Lee Jae Myung, Trump praised his past relationship with Kim and said he looks forward to “seeing him in the future.”

Trump described Kim as “very good with me” and even joked that he knows the North Korean leader better than anyone “other than his sister,” Kim Yo Jong. The remarks echo Trump’s earlier efforts during his first term, when he held three historic meetings with Kim, including one at the Demilitarized Zone in 2019.

South Korea’s President Lee backed the idea, urging Trump to “bring peace to the Korean peninsula,” the last divided nation in the world. Lee even quipped about the possibility of a Trump World real-estate project in North Korea and playing golf there, framing Trump as a potential “world-historical peacemaker.”

North Korea, however, has not responded to Trump’s recent outreach. State media continues to condemn Washington for its joint military drills with Seoul, calling them proof of US intentions to “occupy the Korean peninsula.” Reports suggest Kim has ignored Trump’s repeated calls since his return to the White House, and a July letter from Trump seeking dialogue was reportedly dismissed by North Korea’s UN office.

Analysts say the prospect of renewed diplomacy hinges on whether Pyongyang views Trump’s overtures as genuine or merely political theater. For now, the world waits to see if Trump’s push to re-engage Kim will break the deadlock that has defined US-North Korea relations since 2019.
