North Korea’s Kim Jong-un tells of ‘great satisfaction’ at plans for second summit with Donald Trump, praising US leader’s ‘positive way of thinking’
- Kim Jong-un ‘spoke highly’ of US President Donald Trump, at a briefing with the North Korean delegation that visited the White House last week
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un spoke highly of US President Donald Trump, state media said on Thursday, and expressed satisfaction over the results of talks between officials from both countries about a second summit between Kim and Trump.
Kim said he would trust Trump’s approach, the North’s official KCNA news agency said, weeks after Kim warned North Korea could seek a “new path” if US sanctions and pressure continued.
That suggested Kim was focused on the next meeting with Trump to produce results.
“Kim Jong-un said that we will believe in President Trump’s positive way of thinking, wait with patience and in good faith and, together with the US, advance step by step toward the goal to be reached by the two countries,” KCNA said.
It said Kim expressed “large satisfaction” at receiving a “great” letter from Trump and a briefing about the results of the negotiations from the North Korean delegation that visited Washington last week but did not elaborate.
Kim ordered working-level preparations for the second North Korea-US summit to be done well, KCNA said.
