Donald Trump said he is willing to meet Kim Jong-un but on the condition that the North Korean leader personally requests him to do so during the US President's tour of Asian countries.
On his Boeing, the head of the White House told reporters: “If you want to spread this information, I don't mind,” Bloomberg wrote.
This news agency wrote that in 2019, Trump suddenly invited Kim Jong-un to “meet and shake hands at the demilitarized zone between North Korea and South Korea.” “The leaders finally met and Trump became the first sitting US president to set foot on North Korean soil.”
In addition, the US President was also quoted as saying that he was willing to officially recognize North Korea as a nuclear power, despite the objections of allies, including Seoul.
“When you say they need to be recognized as a nuclear power, they have a lot of nuclear weapons. I admit that,” Bloomberg quoted Trump as saying.
Previously, it was reported that during his trip to Asia, the US President planned to visit Malaysia, Japan and South Korea.
